There are so many fun and easy hairstyles for kids. Ideally, you send your child to school every day with a nice braid. To help the moms among us, we have an Ultimate Guide to keep the creation in place for a long time and how to make waves in the hair. It’s a matter of trying and practicing a bit, then you’ll have it mastered in no time. Good luck ladies!

What do you need for braiding hair?

- Brush, preferably a softer brush so combing doesn’t hurt your daughter. A recommendation is the KASHOKI Smooth White Detangler Brush. Actually, this brush is ideal for the whole family!

- Spray bottle with water (optional) 

- Hair ties. The hair ties from Peek a Beau are super nice, handmade, and don’t damage your daughter’s hair. Of course, you can also use a scrunchie use, your little one would find this extra fun! 

- Hairpins (optional)

How can I create a girl’s hairstyle that keeps the hair out of the face?

Having all that hair in your face all day is of course very annoying, your little one is happily playing and the strands keep falling into her eyes. Super annoying, and we haven’t even mentioned eating yet.

That’s why it’s handy to make cute hairstyles for your daughter so her hair stays out of her face. Do you need some inspiration for very easy hairstyles for your daughter? Then take a quick look below, where we have put together some always super cute hairstyles with explanations.

For this hairstyle, you take the front section of the hair and braid it to the left or right. Then you secure it with a hair tie, and this way you easily get the hairstyle from above. If you want to add a bow, you can do so with a super cute hair bow.

 

You take the front section and twist it a few centimeters around. Then you secure it with a cute bow or clip. To make the twisted part a bit looser, you can gently pull it apart.

 

With this hairstyle, just like with the previous look, you take the front section. Here too, you twist it a few centimeters around, and then secure it with a nice clip. The only difference between this and the previous one is that this one is twisted a bit tighter. This way, you can experiment a little with what you like.

 

With this super fun look, you take the front strands from both sides of the hair. Then you twist them back and secure them with an elastic band. You can tie the strands together in a small ponytail or leave them separate, it’s up to what you like best. 

 

With this look, you take a small strand from the front and secure it with an elastic band. Then you take part of that strand and grab a new strand and secure that again with an elastic band. You repeat this until you are satisfied with the result.

 

Also with this hairstyle, you take the front strand again and braid it loosely from left to right or right to left. You can then secure this with a cute clip or pin. And that’s how you easily create this very fun look!

2. What looks can you create with braids?

Do you want to make your daughter happy with a fun braid look? Something different than a standard braid? We totally understand that. We have put together some super fun ideas for you so you can make a simple braid extra festive! Below we have listed a number of simple hairstyles with braid(s) for you.

 

Cute double top braid:

Divide the hair into two (middle part). Now you are going to ‘braid on top’ instead of ‘braid in’. Instead of working from bottom to top, you take the strands from top to bottom. This makes it look like your braid lies on the hair, which looks a bit more playful than a double braid in. 

Classy updo:

This is a super easy way to pin up hair. With this look, you pull all the hair away from the face while the hair still hangs loose. This can be handy if your daughter prefers to have her hair down. Use the hair at ear height. Take the hair from ear to ear and start braiding from the forehead. Stop braiding when you are no longer braiding on the head, then make a ponytail. And voilà!

 

Voluminous braid:

This girl's hairstyle is super cute for a (children's) party. The advantage of this braid is that it stays in place easily (even during intense play). First, you make a high ponytail. Then you braid it normally and put a nice elastic band at the bottom of the braid. Next, take the braid pieces on the right and left and gently pull them out a bit. This way, you easily create volume in what is usually a simple braid!

 

 

3. What are simple and beautiful festive children's hairstyles?

If your daughter has a kids’ party or another special occasion coming up, it’s of course nice to do something a little extra with her hair. Below we’ve listed some super cool looks for an easy festive hairstyle.

This super cute hairstyle is a Dutch braid. You part the hair in the middle and then do the same as with a regular braid. Only with a Dutch braid, you braid from bottom to top so the braid lies on top. Very simple but still very fun!

 

 

This hairstyle is almost the same as the look above with beautiful red hair. You make the hairstyles in exactly the same way. Only with this hairstyle, you loosen the braids a bit to get a fuller and more casual look :) Easy does it! As we said, it’s often small changes that make a different result!

 

Take the front strands of hair and secure them with an elastic band. In that ponytail, make several small braids. Then secure the whole thing again with an elastic band, and you can add a cute bow or clip around it.

 

How do I easily create beautiful buns?

A hairstyle with buns is the go-to hairstyle for kids. It’s simple and quick, but at the same time looks like a lot of effort was put into it. You can easily make bun hairstyles festive with “accessories,” think bows, scrunchies, and hair clips. You can also get creative with different types of buns. Below we’ve provided some different 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. Below we’ve listed some tips & tricks for you: 

• Let’s just call them: hair accessories. A colorful scrunchie or a cute bow can really brighten up a ponytail and your little girl. This is also the simplest solution.

• Let your daughter sleep with braided hair. Then she’ll have wavy curls the next day. And you can make a super cute ponytail.

• Wrap a loose strand around the elastic band so that the elastic disappears. 

• Braids: For example, you can take a small section of hair from the ponytail and make a small braid out of it.

 

 

How can I easily create waves in my daughter’s hair?

Wavy/curly hair naturally looks super cute on your child. Of course, you don’t want to use heat tools on your child’s hair. Still, you can easily create waves in your child’s hair, but how?

The answer is simple: let your daughter sleep with braided hair. You can make different types of braids, each with a different effect. You can estimate the effect yourself a bit. For example, a thick braid naturally creates coarser waves. And a thin braid creates tighter waves. 

A little tip: braiding or French braiding works best, as it also takes the top of the hair along. It’s also helpful to make your child’s hair a little damp. This brings out the waves more strongly and keeps the result longer. If your child has thick hair, be careful how wet you make it. If the hair is too wet, it won’t be dry the next morning, causing the curls to fall out again. 

 

How do you keep hair in place best throughout the day?

Keeping your child's hair in place all day sometimes seems almost impossible. Understandable, since they play all day. Using products like we do ourselves doesn’t seem quite suitable. Although times are changing, and more clean hair styling products are becoming available. An age-old method is hair clips! You can use different fun hair clips every day!

Check out the hair clips now!

In addition, you can add 1-3 drops of cold-pressed, unrefined, and 100% organic argan oil. This is for extra care of the hair, a beautiful and simple way to add extra care to your daughter's hair routine.

To safely wash the kids' hair, you can use the following shampoo and hair lotion set: Attitude Watermelon Cocos Hair Set.

Why is this set safe? Attitude originally started with safe cleaning products for the home, so that if the baby puts her or his hands in their mouth, it is not harmful in any way. Now they have grown into the brand for the whole family with only safe products. They have everything independently tested by labs and also work with dermatologists. They also look at natural ingredients that could potentially be harmful to the most sensitive. 

Because of this, all their products are 100% safe and you can use them with peace of mind.
