We may mourn the end of summer, but there is something thrilling about a change in the season, the buzz of a new school year, back to work and the chance to get your head, hair and wardrobe back in office mode. We like to think that September brings the promise of a fresh start, so let’s get going!
At Kent, we’ve collated a list of essentials to make your mornings a little bit easier, from daily rituals to easy back-to-school hair tutorials for the kids. You’ll be looking and feeling great and ready to face the week positively.
BACK TO SCHOOL HAIRSTYLES
Looking for school-friendly styles? Take inspiration from these images and pair it with a Kent brush or comb for a polished finish. By taking a few moments to brush, braid or comb your child’s hair, not only do you get to enjoy a special moment together, but you are also teaching them the importance of caring for their hair – a little morning life lesson.
1. There’s nothing easier than giving your child’s hair a quick brush and then finishing the hair with accessories like clips or ribbons to add flair. Explore our range of detangling brushes HERE.
2. Experiment with different parting styles to create new looks. Use the A8T to part or section the hair. The LS7 is ideal for smoothing and finishing, whilst the SPC86 will detangle and add volume to beautiful, naturally textured hair.
3. Why not try a simple ponytail or braid for a classic look. Elevate these simple styles with perfect parting and a beautiful finish. First, brush out knots and tangles with a paddle brush, the AH8G is particularly good for thick hair. Section using a comb, then use a bristle brush to smooth the hair and pull the hair neatly into place.
4. Space buns are an excellent choice for a fun and fresh look. Equally, part the hair with the tail of the A8T comb, then use the PF01 to pull the hair into two ponytails; the nylon and bristle mix will detangle and smooth the hair for that ‘professional’ finish. Lastly, twist the bunches into a neat bun and tie them with hairbands or scrunchies.
Incorporating simple daily rituals like brushing your teeth and hair can be powerful acts of self-care that set a positive tone for the day. These small, consistent habits nurture your mind, body, and well-being, helping you feel stronger, healthier, and more prepared to face whatever comes your way.
