Braiding for Parents

You want to braid your child’s hair - but every attempt ends in frustration. Messy parts, uneven braids, your little one getting impatient… it feels impossible. You’ve watched the tutorials. You’ve tried to copy styles. Still, it never turns out right. Sound familiar? You’re not alone - and this workshop is exactly for you. At Braids & Waves, we created a beginner-friendly, hands-on braiding class just for parents who are ready to stop stressing and start braiding with confidence. In just a few hours, you’ll learn exactly how to create neat, beautiful styles that last - without the salon prices or daily battles. You’ll walk away with: • A simple, repeatable technique that actually works • Confidence to braid on your own - no guesswork • Tips for keeping your child’s braids last longer • A real skill you can feel proud of (and your child will love!) It is best if you can come with your little one, but if they can't attend, you can always practice on mannequin heads, and I will guide you step-by-step every braid of the way. Who This Is For: • Parents who want to braid but feel completely lost on where to start • Mums, dads, grandparents - anyone who cares for a child with textured hair • Those tired of messy ponytails, rushed mornings, or last-minute salon appointments • Parents whose kids are asking for styles they don’t know how to do (yet) • Anyone who’s tried tutorials, given up, and still wants to get it right What’s Included: ✅ 2.5-hour hands-on workshop ✅ All tools + products supplied ✅ Step-by-step guidance from one of the top 100 braiders in the world What you'll learn: • How to prep and part hair (create a clean middle part) • 2 Dutch (boxer) braids - no extensions • How to look after braids so they last longer Importnat information: 🧒 You can attend the workshop with your child to practice on their hair 👱‍♀️ If you want to attend the workshop by yourself, you can practice using a hair mannequin while in the studio 🎟 One ticket = one adult.
