A good braided style keeps your child’s hair neat, protected and easy to manage through school weeks and weekends. At Kekem African Braids on Sawdust Road in Spring, TX, we braid cornrows, box braids and other protective styles for kids, with the style and the price agreed before we start.
Children run, play, sleep hard and sweat — so their braids need to hold up. The right style depends on your child’s age, hair length and how long they can sit comfortably. Before we begin, we talk with you about:
Kekem African Braids is led by an owner with more than 10 years of hairstyling experience, and our braiders work with kids’ hair every week.
Quick, neat and practical. Straight-back cornrows or a simple design keep hair off the face during class and play. See all our designs on the cornrows in Spring page.
A longer-lasting option when your child can sit for a longer appointment. We keep the size and length reasonable for a child’s scalp. Learn more on our box braids page.
Have a photo of a style your child loves? Show us. We will tell you honestly whether it suits your child’s hair and patience — and suggest a simpler version if needed.
Kids’ hair and edges are more delicate than adult hair, so comfort comes first:
If your child tells you something feels tight, tell us right away — we adjust.
