Getting kids ready for the day can be a handful, especially when it comes to hair. These easy hairstyles are perfect for school, playdates, or special occasions. They’re not only adorable but also practical and quick enough for everyday styling.
1. Double Ponytails
Split the hair down the middle and tie two high ponytails. It’s a classic look that’s energetic and playful — perfect for active little ones.
2. Top Knot Bun
Gather all the hair on top of the head into a bun. Use a fun scrunchie or bow for a cute touch. It keeps hair off the neck and out of the face.
3. Braided Pigtails
Two low pigtails braided for a tidy and sweet look. You can add ribbons or colorful hair ties for extra charm.
4. Half-Up with Bow Clip
Take the top section of the hair and secure it with a bow clip. It’s a simple style that still feels dressed up for school or a party.
5. Heart-Shaped Braids
For a fun twist, part the hair into a heart shape and braid along the edges. It’s ideal for Valentine’s Day or birthday celebrations.
6. Side Ponytail with Ribbon
Gather hair to one side and tie it with a ribbon or fun hairband. This works especially well for medium to long hair and keeps it tidy.
7. Double Buns (Space Buns)
Divide the hair and create two small buns on top. Kids love this playful look, and it stays put during playtime.
8. Simple French Braid
A classic style that keeps hair in place all day. Start at the crown and braid down to the end. You can do one or two depending on hair length.
9. Twisted Front with Loose Hair
Take small sections from the front, twist them back, and pin or tie with a cute barrette. Great for letting hair flow while keeping it out of the eyes.
10. Headband Tuck Style
Place a stretchy headband on the head and tuck the hair into it from the back. It gives a soft rolled-up look and takes under 3 minutes.
