How to save time when doing simple hairstyles for little girls?
Opt for an easy-to-style cut
If you don’t want to spend hours styling your little girl’s hair in the morning, you’ll want to choose a child’s haircut that’s easy to style. The ideal? A short or mid-length cut. However, avoid long hair, which requires much more maintenance. For example, you can opt for a short bob, which is suitable for little girls with straight or curly, thick or fine hair.
For little girls who want to keep a minimum length, mid-length cuts have the advantage of offering a multitude of hairstyles. As for fringes, they are ideal for adding volume to little girls with fine and flat hair but they require regular maintenance.
Detangling hair daily
Parents’ worst enemy when it comes to styling their little girl’s hair? Knots, of course! To save precious time when styling, we advise you to regularly detangle your little girl’s hair. Establish a routine: your child can brush their hair after brushing their teeth, for example.
As for the choice of brush, choose a small air cushion brush with relatively wide bristles and opt for a wooden model. This type of brush is more respectful of children’s scalps.
Don’t neglect hair care
To take care of your little girl’s hair and save precious time when styling, don’t neglect hair care. Especially if your little girl has frizzy, curly, or curly hair.
Use moisturizing and detangling products such as conditioners and detangling milks to make brushing easier. In addition to fighting knots, treatments will also provide good hydration and help tame unruly hair. Be sure to choose products designed for children’s hair, formulated with natural ingredients and paraben-free and avoid chemicals as much as possible.
What accessories should you use to style little girls’ hair?
To easily style a little girl’s hair, you can use hair accessories. These have the advantage of highlighting many hairstyles without too much effort. Among the accessories to have for styling little girls, we can mention:
- Scrunchies: no need to introduce them! On the other hand, we advise you to opt for models made of wide fabric such as ribbon scrunchies so as not to damage your little girl’s hair.
- Barrettes and crocodile clips: in addition to providing an ultra-cute look, these accessories are perfect for little girls who are bothered by locks of hair in their eyes (like bangs that grow out or locks of hair that fall on their face).
- Headbands and headbands: for a soft look, go for a headband or a pretty headband. With them, the hairstyle possibilities are numerous: loose or tied hair, braids, crowns, etc.
- Scarves: this is the ultimate bohemian and poetic accessory. You can fold it and use it as a headband or place it at the back of your head to tie it at the front for a more rock ‘n’ roll look!
- Tiaras: Does your little girl dream of looking like a princess? Then give her the most beautiful tiara to personalize her hairstyle and make her the most beautiful princess!
What quick and easy hairstyles can be done for little girls?
Looking for quick hairstyle ideas for busy mornings? Here are the easiest and quickest hairstyles for little girls:
The simple ponytail
This is THE simple hairstyle par excellence. The ponytail only takes a few minutes. To twist a ponytail, you can use a large cotton and patterned scrunchie, a scrunchie topped with a big bow, or even a scarf to tie the ponytail, leaving the ends hanging on each side.
And to give a more fun and less classic look, opt for two pigtails and have fun choosing original or mismatched scrunchies!
The half-tail and its variations
With a half ponytail, the lengths remain free, while the hair on the top of the head is pulled back. This is a great alternative to the classic ponytail.
Here again, you can give it more character by adding a ribbon scrunchie or by making a reverse half ponytail. For this last version, simply make a fairly low half ponytail, separate it in two to form a hole in the center, and pass the ponytail inside the hollow from the top. You will obtain an original and romantic half ponytail.
The bubble ponytail
It’s one of the big hairstyle trends of the last few months: the bubble ponytail. The good news? This hairstyle is super easy to do and offers maximum effect!
All you need to do is make a fairly high ponytail and place thin elastics at regular intervals along the entire length. To create the long-awaited bubble effect, simply loosen each part between the elastics and that’s it!
The braids
If your little girl has thick, curly, frizzy, and difficult-to-style hair, opt for timeless braids! In addition to being easy to do (once you have mastered the technique), braids have the advantage of holding the hair well all day long and preventing knots in the hair. It is therefore ideal if your child cannot sit still.
Among the different braids to do on a little girl, we recommend:
- The classic braid: this is the most common and easiest, it consists of crossing 3 strands over each other.
- The French braid (or upside-down braid): this is a braid glued to the skull that offers an elegant look. To do this, you have to start braiding a small strand at the root and gradually add strands along the length.
- The fishtail braid: this is the braid for bohemian hairstyle enthusiasts. It is made from two strands of hair and a third that is crossed to form a “V”.
- The waterfall braid: a braid that starts on the side of the head and descends horizontally along the shoulder, creating the famous waterfall effect.
- The twist braid (or vanilla): this type of braid is only suitable for frizzy hair. It is a fastening technique that consists of wrapping two strands of hair around themselves.
Buns
We end our selection of quick and easy hairstyles for little girls with buns. This type of hairstyle allows you to free the nape of the neck, avoid hair in the eyes, and emphasize the features of the face. Once again, the possibilities are endless!
You can opt for a strict high bun for a ballet dancer look or a low, messy bun for a more casual look. For fashion-conscious little girls, you can make a macaroon bun or braided buns. The first consists of making a parting in the middle and making two buns on each side. The second consists of making two high ponytails, which are then braided and wrapped to obtain the braided buns!
