In this post, I want to share 10 hairstyles for kids These hairstyles range anywhere from easy and quick to a bit more sophisticated and time-consuming.
Some kids might be more tender-headed and less patient than others. This means that you can choose the best hairstyle that best suits your daughter’s tendencies.
Also be sure that you don’t pull too tightly on your daughter’s hair, as it might lead to breakage and traction alopecia. It will also result in an uneasy styling session both for your daughter and yourself or the hairscian.
Another thing to note is that majority of these hairstyles are extensions free, but I’ve also included a few hairstyles that include the use of extensions, in case you want your daughter’s hairstyle to last longer.
Here they are;
1. Tension Free Kinky Twists
This hairstyle requires some Marley twists for volume. You can also avoid adding hair extension by using your daughter’s hair if her hair is long enough. Whatever method you choose, please be sure to not pull too tightly on her scalp.
2. Shuku (Nigerian name for the back hairstyle) with Twists
This is such a popular hairstyle for kids in Nigeria. They are easy to put in and takedown. This hairstyle is also perfect for kids with shorter hair length, and for parents who aren’t skilled in elaborative hairstyles. You will need small perm rods to get the curly ends.
3. Double braided buns
For younger kids who can’t sit through a long hairstyling session, this quick and easy hairstyle will be the best choice. It can be done while the child is watching TV or playing games on her iPad.
4. Mickey Mouse Puffs
Ideal for kids who can’t sit for more than 5 minutes to get their hair done. Simply apply a leave-in conditioner such as the shea moisture kids conditioner and pull her hair into two puffs.
5. Banded Bubble Twists
This is such a fun look for little girls who are into bright colors. This hairstyle will also help keep your daughter’s hair stretched for days! All you need for this hairstyle is a pack of colorful rubber bands.
6. Cornrowed Halo Crown with a Heart
If you have more time on your hands, and a child who loves to sit through hair days, you can try this unique hairstyle. This hairstyle is also perfect for Valentine’s day and weddings. You might need the help of a professional hairstyle to get the perfect look. And you will need about 2-3 packs of kanekalon hair.
7. Minimalist Cornrows with Accessories
This is another hairstyle I enjoyed getting as a child. Except children in Nigeria usually don’t use hair extensions, so I didn’t have one. Due to the use of extensions, this hairstyle can last up to a month, if taken care of.
8. Kids Lemonade Braids
This is the kids’ version of the popular lemonade braids hairstyle. You can accessorize it with hair strings and braid rings.
9. Double Patẹwọ (Yoruba name for the hairstyle) with Infinity braid
Patẹwọ means “clap hands” in the Yoruba language. This is another popular school girl hairstyle in Nigeria and many parts of Africa. You can modernize and accessorize this hairstyle with kid-friendly hair accessories.
10. Freestyle shuku with loose twists
This is such a beautiful hairstyle for kids in an elementary school. It’s lightweight and easy to run around with on the playground. If your child has shorter hair length, you can add some Marley hair in for length and volume.
