Cute and Easy Kids Hairstyles - Step-by-Step Tutorial
Looking for easy and cute hairstyles for your little ones that won't take forever to do? You've come to the right place! This blog post will guide you through a simple and adorable hairstyle that's perfect for everyday wear or special occasions. Let's get started!
Supplies You'll Need:
- Hair brush
- Hair elastics (preferably soft and colorful)
- Optional: Hairspray (for extra hold)
Step 1: Gather the Hair
Start by brushing your child's hair to remove any tangles. Gather a section of hair from the top of their head, about an inch wide. Secure the section with a hair elastic.
Step 2: Create the Ponytail
Holding the gathered section of hair, pull it back towards the back of their head. Secure the ponytail with a hair elastic. Make sure the ponytail is tight but not too tight.
Step 3: Divide the Ponytail
Divide the ponytail into two equal sections. You can use your fingers to do this.
Step 4: Twist the Sections
Twist each section of the ponytail in the same direction. You can twist them clockwise or counterclockwise, whichever you prefer.
Step 5: Braid the Twisted Sections
Once you've twisted the sections, braid them together. Make sure the braid is tight and secure.
Step 6: Secure the Braid
Once you've reached the end of the braid, secure it with a hair elastic. You can also use a small bobby pin to secure the braid in place.
Step 7: Add a Bow (Optional)
For a touch of extra cuteness, you can add a bow to the braid. Simply tie a ribbon or bow around the hair elastic at the end of the braid.
Tips for Success:
- Use soft hair elastics to avoid pulling or damaging your child's hair.
- If your child has fine hair, use a hairspray to help the hairstyle stay in place.
- Practice makes perfect! The more you practice, the easier it will be to create this hairstyle.
Variations:
This hairstyle can be easily adapted to create different looks. For example, you can:
- Use a different type of braid, such as a French braid or a Dutch braid.
- Add embellishments to the braid, such as flowers, ribbons, or beads.
- Create a half-up, half-down hairstyle by only gathering the top section of hair.
With a little practice, you can create this cute and easy hairstyle in no time. Your little one will love the stylish look and you'll appreciate the ease of styling.
