For kids you really can’t buy whatever kind of kippa you’d like, or else it will just fly off their heads, unless of course you’re using clips to hold it down. If you’re not, then you have to go with the kind that fits their head the best. The 6-section kippas have more of a high profile to them, so a kid whose head is longer than it is wide will need that kind of kippa. The 4-section kippa is for kids who have really round heads. My boys all wear 6-section kippas. It really depends on how it fits. I think for men it doesn’t really matter whether it’s a 4-section or a 6-section kippa so much. I know of a store where they even sell Gerrer types of kippas that are really narrow and high. Oh, you’d also have the same problem of curling of the kippa if it’s a 4-section velvet kippa. I’ve seen it happen. And I don’t know about dry-cleaning kippas, but that wouldn’t last in my house. I can barely send my husband’s suits out for cleaning much less kids’ kippas.
