Be kind when speaking to the parent who will be doing your child’s hair. Let them know who your child is visiting, their hair care routine at home and your hair styling wishes for your child. Also, explain what you will be sending and why. Explain to the child (if they are old enough) what the understanding is about their hair care and hair style while they are away. They should try and stick to their home hair care ritual as much as possible. If no chemicals (hair coloring, hair straighteners or hair curling chemicals) are not permitted to be used in the child’s hair, be sure to stress that in the conversation.
