HOT TOT'S Trauma-Free Techniques

Let's face it, we love our kids but hair do's and cuts can often be a daunting task. petitePARADE VOGUE Bambini Kids Fashion Week official hair sponsors, HOT TOT shares tips and tricks for parents to deal with these far to common morning difficulties.


We break down their tips and tricks into 3 easy steps!
 
 
1. Select a Place Where Your Child Will Be Happy.
Hot Tot suggest, "If you're styling a child who is old enough to sit up, choose a place where they can focus on something other than their hair." ie.  a highchair so your child can be snacking at the same time. Or on the counter by the bathroom, so water can drip on their toes.       
 
 
 
2. Have The Right Tools.
Given the tots sensitive scalp, avoid using an adult brush. Using a soft brush, a wide tooth comb and a spray bottle filled with water is always helpful. If your tot has finicky tangled hair, try Hot Tot's Condition Detangler.  Additionally, foam curlers are a safe alternative to heat style, where you can achieve the same look without any risk!
 
 
3. Choose a Hairstyle.
While the amount of hair your baby is born with can vary greatly, a simple curl is always suitable for any gender. A headband or clip can help distinguish gender. Pig-Tails and bobs are always favorites for girls. Where side parts and faux hawks tend to be a fav for little boys.
Take a look at HOT TOT's website for hair ideas!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 


 With a specialized formula, safe ingredients and holding a social and sustainable responsibility beliefs, HOT TOT's is something you can definitely feel good about when styling your tot's hair.

And a petitePARADE VOGUE friend, Truly Scrumptious by Heidi Klum has long stand by this idea.




Recently Truly Scrumptious by Heidi Klum partnered with the Save the Children Foundation in efforts to inspire creativity among kids through sponsoring the Project Doodle Contest where Truly Scrumptious by Heidi Klum introduced a specially designed t-shirt  contest encouraging children to submit their own designs of fun monster-themed doodles.  Two designs were then chosen, manufactured and sold at Babies "R" Us stores nationwide and online.

Child Prodigy : DJ Kai Song




Children really know no boundaries when they are given the freedom to explore their interest.

No one told DJ Kai Song  that he had to wait and become an adult before he could start being a professional DJ.

With the full confidence to grow and learn, at just 9 years old, DJ Kai Song has quickly become a favorite amongst the DJ community.  
Most of all, he is completely adorable and can really speak to what he does in the most professional manner.

Photographer Kymberly Marciano had the opportunity to sit down and speak with DJ Kai Song when she saw him at last falls Petite Parade & VOGUE Bambini Kids Fashion Week, where he DJ'ed several shows, including the Target, and Swarovski events.

Here are a few facts about the DJ Prodigy she learned:

-The first song DJ Kai ever listened to was Yellow Submarine by The Beatles. He described the song making him feel,  "happy and want to sing".

-Growing up on a house filled with DJ equipment, (his 'papa', as he calls him, owns a DJ rental company) DJ Kai remembers being 2 or 3 when he started to ask for DJ-ing lessons.

-He is just like any other kid! After he is done with school, DJ Kai will participate in a number of  extra curricular activities, including soccer, Taek-Won-Do football and tennis! He also really enjoys playing with Lego's.

-What's on his iPod : He is currently listening to Tiesto: United, Zedd: Clarity, Krewella: Alive.

-Most inspiring of all, when asked what advice he would give to other creative kids, "you have to have a passion for what you are doing. And practice a lot!"  That's advice even the child in us can put to use.

This makes us wonder, what other amazing things can kids do when we don't put limits to their imagination?

Vogue Bambini Photographer Shares His Favorite Father Moments & Way to Capture Them


        Though Father's Day has past, lets not stop celebrating those special dad's in our lives just yet.
Stefano Azario, a celebrated VOGUE Bambini and children photographer - who recently shot his 20th anniversary issue cover to cover, shared his favorite moments with his 5 bambini.


Five children, with ages ranging from 23-6 years old, Azario surely had a lot to celebrate this past fathers day. With the recent purchase of a new home, Azario shared with petitePARADE his excitement to stay home and relax with his children for Father's Day. 

Azario also shared tips and tricks in taking the perfect moment capturing photos. For small infants Azario suggest kneeling or laying down to their eye level. Keeping a very simple background, Azario suggest, "the eyes are the window to the soul. In a picture, you’re trying to capture a piece of their spirit. The feeling of wonder and awe. My pictures are always extremely simple, but capture exactly that."

Read more from this interview here. And check out some of our favorite - and the just darn cutest - Stefano Azario photographs.
