What do you need for braiding hair?
- Brush, preferably a softer one so combing doesn’t hurt your daughter. Highly recommended is the KASHOKI Smooth White Detangler Brush. This brush is actually perfect for the whole family!
- Spray bottle with water (optional)
- Hair ties. You can of course also use a scrunchie, your little one will love this even more!
- Hair clips (optional). The hair clips from Peek a beau are really nice and hold securely.
How can I create a girl’s hairstyle that keeps hair out of the face?
Having hair in your face all day is really annoying. Your little one is having fun playing, but strands keep falling into her eyes. Very frustrating, especially when eating.
That’s why it’s handy to make cute hairstyles for your daughter that keep hair out of her face. Need some inspiration for easy hairstyles for your daughter? Quickly check out below, where we listed a bunch of super cute styles with explanations.
For this style, take the front section of hair and braid it to the left or right. Then secure it with a hair tie and that’s an easy way to get the style shown above.
Take the front lock and twist it a few centimetres around. Then secure it with a cute bow or clip. To loosen the twist a bit, gently pull it apart.
For this look, you also take the front lock like the look before. You twist it a few centimetres and secure it with a clip. The difference between this and the prior one is that this twist is slightly tighter. So you can experiment a bit with what you like.
For this super cute look, take the front locks from both sides of the hair. Twist them backwards and secure with a hair tie. You can put the locks together in a small ponytail or keep them separate, whichever you prefer.
For this look, take a small front section and secure it with a hair tie. Then take part of that section and pick up another, securing again with a hair tie. Repeat until you’re happy with the result.
For this hairstyle, again take the front lock and braid it left to right or right to left. Secure it with a cute bow or clip. This easily creates a super cute look!
2. What looks can you create with braids?
Want to make your daughter happy with a cute braided look? Something different than a standard braid? We get that, of course. We’ve gathered super fun ideas so you can make a simple braid more festive! Below we list some easy braided hairstyles for you.
Cute double braid:
Divide the hair in two (middle part). You braid now "on top" instead of "inside". Instead of working from bottom to top, you take strands from top to bottom. It looks like the braid is lying on the hair, which looks a bit more playful than a double inside braid.
Classy updo:
This is a super easy Manier updo. In this look, you pull all hair out of the face while the hair remains loose. Handy if your daughter prefers hair down. You take the hair from ear to ear and start braiding a french braid from the forehead. Stop braiding when you no longer braid on the head, then finish with a ponytail. And voilà!
Voluminous braid:
This hairstyle is super fun for a (children’s) party. The advantage of this braid is that it stays put easily (even during active play). You start with a high ponytail, then braid the hair regularly and tie it off with a pretty hair tie. Next, gently pull sections of the braid on the right and left sides to loosen them. This Manier easily adds volume to an otherwise simple braid!
3. What are simple and pretty festive kids’ hairstyles?
Has your daughter got a party or another special occasion coming up? It’s nice then to give her hair a little extra. Below we listed some super cool looks for simple festive hairstyles.
This super cute hairstyle is an on-top braid. You part the hair in the middle and do the same as with an inside braid. Only for on-top braiding you work from bottom to top, so the braid lies on top of the hair. Simple yet really cute!
This style is almost the same as the one above with beautiful red hair. You make the hairstyle the same Manier as above. Only with this one, you pull the braids looser for a fuller and more casual look :) Easy does it! Like we said, it’s often small changes that make a big difference.
Take the front sections of hair and secure them with a hair tie. Then make small braids in that ponytail. Secure everything again with a hair tie, and add a cute bow or clip if you like.
How do I easily create pretty buns?
A bun hairstyle is the go-to hairstyle for kids. It’s simple and quick but looks like a lot of effort went into it. You can easily make buns festive with hair accessories like bows, scrunchies, or clips. You can also be creative with different bun styles. Below are some examples for you:
How do I turn a ponytail into a trendy ponytail?
You can easily transform a simple ponytail into a more festive one. Here are some tips & tricks:
-
Let’s call it hair accessories. A colourful scrunchie or a cute bow can really brighten a ponytail and your daughter’s mood. This is the simplest solution.
-
Have your daughter sleep with braided hair. The next day, she’ll have lovely waves and you can create a super cute ponytail.
-
Wrap a loose strand around the hair tie to hide it.
-
Braids: you can take a small section from the ponytail and make a little braid.
How can I easily create waves in my daughter’s hair?
Wavy or curly hair looks super cute on your little one. Of course, you don’t want to use heat tools on your child’s hair. But you can easily create waves in your child’s hair—here’s how.
The answer is simple: have your daughter sleep with braided hair. You can make different types of braids, each creating a different effect. You can judge the effect yourself. Thick braids create looser waves, thin braids create tighter waves.
A tip: inside or on-top braiding works best, as it also includes the top layer of hair. It’s also helpful to dampen your child’s hair a bit. This strengthens the waves and helps the result last longer. If your child has thick hair, watch how wet you make it. Too wet will leave hair damp the next morning, causing the curls to fall out.
How do I keep my child’s hair in place all day?
Keeping your child’s hair in place all day can seem almost impossible. Understandable—they play all day. Using products like we do ourselves isn’t always suitable. Although times are changing, and there are more clean styling products available. A timeless Manier are hair clips! You can use different cute clips every day!

Also, add 1-3 drops of cold-pressed, unrefined, 100% organic argan oil for extra care. It’s a simple and beautiful Manier to add extra nourishment to your daughter’s hair routine.
For safe washing of kids’ hair, you can use the following shampoo and hair Lotion set: Attitude Watermelon Cocos Hair Set.
Why is this set safe? Attitude started with safe household cleaning products, so when babies put their hair or hands in their mouths it’s not harmful in any way. Now they’ve grown into a brand for the whole family with only safe products. They test everything independently in labs and work with dermatologists. They also review natural ingredients that may cause reactions in the most sensitive skin.
Because of this, all their products are 100% safe and you can use them with peace of mind.
