What do you need for braiding hair?
- Brush, preferably a softer brush so combing doesn’t hurt your daughter. We recommend the KASHOKI Smooth White Detangler Brush. This brush is actually perfect 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 which your little one might find extra fun!
- Hairpins (optional)
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, especially when your little one is happily playing and strands keep falling into her eyes. Super annoying, and that’s not even counting mealtime.
That’s why it’s handy to make cute hairstyles for your daughter that keep her hair out of her face. Need some inspiration for very easy hairstyles for your daughter? Take a quick look below, where we’ve put together some always super cute hairstyles with explanations.
For this hairstyle, you take the front section of hair and braid it to the left or right. Then you secure it with a hair tie, and that’s how you get the hairstyle shown above. Want to add a bow? You can do that 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 loosen the twisted part a bit, you can gently pull it apart.
For this hairstyle, just like the previous look, you take the front section. You twist it a few centimeters around and then secure it with a cute clip.

2. What looks can you create with braids?
Want to make your daughter happy with a fun braided look? Something different from a standard braid? We totally get that. We’ve put together some super fun ideas so you can make a simple braid extra festive! Below, we’ve listed a few simple hairstyles with braids for you.
Cute double French braid:
Divide the hair into two parts (middle part). Now you’re going to ‘French braid’ instead of ‘Dutch braid’. Instead of working from bottom to top, you take sections from top to bottom. This makes it look like the braid lies on top of the hair, which looks a bit more playful than a double Dutch braid.
Classy updo:
This is a super easy way to do an updo. 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. You use the hair at ear level. Take the hair from ear to ear and start a braid from the forehead. Stop braiding when you’re no longer braiding on the head, then make a ponytail. And voilà!
Voluminous braid:
This girl’s hairstyle is super fun for a (children’s) party. The advantage of this braid is that it stays in place easily (even during active play). First, you make a high ponytail. Then you braid it normally and secure it with a nice hair tie at the bottom. Next, you gently pull out the braid sections on the right and left. This way, you easily create volume in what would normally be a simple braid!
3. What are simple and beautiful festive children’s hairstyles?
Does your daughter have a children’s party or another special occasion coming up? Then it’s fun 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 French braid. You part the hair in the middle and then do the same as with a Dutch braid. Only with a French braid, you braid from bottom to top, so the braid appears to lie on top. Very simple but still very cute!
This hairstyle is almost the same as the look above but with beautiful red color. You create the hairstyles in exactly the same way. Only with this hairstyle, you pull the braids a bit looser to get a fuller and more casual look :) Easy does it! As we said, it’s often small changes that make a big difference!
You take the front sections of hair and secure them with a hair tie. In that ponytail, you make lots of small braids. Then you secure the whole thing again with a hair tie, 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 a bun hairstyle festive with “hair accessories,” like bows, scrunchies, and hair clips. You can also get creative with different types of buns. Below, we’ve listed a few 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 call it: 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.
-
Have 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 hair tie to hide it.
-
Braids: You can take a small piece of hair from the ponytail and make a small braid from it.
How can I easily create waves in my daughter’s hair?
Wavy/curly hair looks super cute on your little one. But 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: have your daughter sleep with braided hair. You can make different types of braids, each with a different effect. You can estimate the effect yourself. For example, a thick braid creates coarser waves, and a thin braid creates tighter waves.
A tip: braiding or French braiding works best because you also include the top of the hair. It’s also helpful to dampen your child’s hair a bit. This makes the waves come out stronger and the result lasts longer. If your child has thick hair, be careful not to make it too wet. If the hair is too wet, it won’t be dry the next morning, causing the curls to fall out.
How do I keep hair in place best throughout the day?
Keeping your child’s hair in place all day can sometimes seem almost impossible. Understandable, since they play all day. Using products like we do ourselves isn’t always suitable. Although times are changing, and more clean hairstyling products are becoming available. An age-old method is hairpins! You can use different cute hairpins every day!

Additionally, you can add 1-3 drops of cold-pressed, unrefined, and 100% organic argan oil. This provides extra care for the hair, a beautiful and simple way to add extra care to your daughter’s hair routine.
To safely wash 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 cleaning products for the home, so if a baby puts her or his hands or hair in their mouth, it’s not harmful in any way. Now they have grown into a 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.
