Combing her daughter in front of a kindergarten or school, each mother tries to style her hair so that they maintain a neat appearance for the whole day. For this, as a rule, a pigtail is braided or a tail is made. But sometimes you can experiment, because children's hairstyles give great scope for imagination. We’ll tell you how you can simply and beautifully collect the hair of your little princess.
Tips
But for starters, some useful tips for the future.
- Do not put too many hairpins on your hair. Such an overload can be harmful to the hair and scalp. The girl should not feel discomfort due to jewelry, otherwise she will be distracted all the time or just take them off.
- The hairstyle should be resistant, because during games in the kindergarten or at school, the child will run and jump.
- Do not use forceps. If you want to curl your daughter with curls for the holiday, use soft curlers. And to achieve an effect like a corrugation, braid a few thin braids at night, and in the morning release them - the hair will be in a small wave.
Accessories
Today on the shelves there are many accessories designed for children's hair. Moreover, you can find something suitable not only for long-haired fashionistas, but also for babies with a short haircut - bandages, invisibility and the like.
- Tapes. Nowadays, this is not the most popular accessory, but it is the safest for babies. The tape can not be scratched or pricked in the head, it does not pull out the hairs when removed.
- Gum. Usually small gum is used for girls and they are sold in sets of different sizes and colors.
Terry is best used - they are soft, elastic and do not pull hair like that.
- Hairpins with metal parts. Spiky invisibles and "crabs" are not so safe, but they are also actively used by mothers when creating hairstyles. Their advantage is that they make it possible to create more unusual hairstyles.
- Headbands. Thanks to them, you can leave loose hair and at the same time remove them back. Today, this familiar item has many variations. Models are produced from various materials, with prints, artificial stones, flowers, miniature soft toys. When choosing a headband, make sure that it is not too tight, with soft tips.
Children do not always pay attention to discomfort or simply do not tell parents about it, not wanting to upset.
For short hair
A hairdressing masterpiece can turn your daughter into a princess, an adult lady or a playful hooligan. And for this it is not necessary to grow long hair. The main thing is to stock up on jewelry and inspiration.
Tails
Familiar two tails can become the basis for different hairstyles. If they are located on the sides of the head, then the bangs are released outward, and if you stab them closer to the top of the head, then the strands that are located near the face can also be removed under the elastic bands.
Alternatively, place the tails one above the other: the first on the top of the head and the second on the back of the head. The perky hairstyle from many small bundles is also popular, while you can use bright colored elastic bands, making unusual partings in the form of zigzags or geometric shapes. If you pull out the ponytails not to the end, then you get funny loops - why not a hairstyle on April 1.
Pigtails
They also underlie a huge number of hairstyles for short hair as well. We give examples of interesting and popular weaving with their use.
- In the direction from the face, you can start several weaves and fix them after a few centimeters, leaving the rest of the hair loose.
- Attach the pigtail started from the bangs to the regular tail on the back of the head and decorate with decorative hair clips - it will sparkle with new colors.
- The French pigtail-rim is more difficult to perform, but it is able to decorate any baby and cheer her up.
- Waterfall. This hairstyle can be built even on short hair, try its simplified version, which is clearly demonstrated in the photo.
Let us describe in more detail the algorithm for performing the French braid-rim.
- Comb the hair, choose strands at the temples and on the forehead along the hairline, pin the remaining curls.
- Take the temporal strand and divide into three parts. Start braiding them by adding strands from her forehead to her. When you reach the second temple, finish the braid with this hair.
- Tie a pigtail with an elastic band, loosen the remaining hair and hide the tip with invisibility closer to the back of the head.
- To make the braid look more interesting, carefully loosen some loops.
Harnesses
If the girl’s hair has grown to at least 15 cm, then try to diversify her everyday hairstyles with flagella. Take a strand from each temple, twist them and tie with one elastic band. Alternatively, make a few thin flagella from the crown, fix them closer to the back of the head, and release the rest of the hair.
For long hair
More intricate hairstyles are available for hair owners. For example, numerous funny ponytails can be combined with rubber bands so that a semblance of a “net” is formed, and give pigtails an intricate shape.
Classic waterfall
Also, long-haired young ladies will suit the classic version of the waterfall - a very beautiful and feminine hairstyle, which is easy to do at home.
- Take a little hair from the face, dividing them into three parts, and start braiding.
- After a few centimeters, take the top lock, release it down, and instead, take the lock from under the released one.
- Do this with each strand that appears upstairs until you cross the whole head across.
- Firmly fix the pigtail and hide the end under the hair or let it out so that it smoothly descends.
Heart Tails
The following instruction will help you to make an interesting hairstyle out of banal funny ponytails. Twist the tails once, split each in half and twist the harnesses out of the halves. Connect them down to get hearts. For greater reliability, grab them with invisibility.
French braid
Instead of a simple pigtail, try braiding the French, because long curls allow you to do this. True, this hairstyle looks better on the hair of babies older than 5 years, when the hair becomes at least a little more voluminous.
- Take the hair from the forehead parallel to the growth and, dividing into 3 parts, start weaving the braid.
- In the process of weaving, add hair from the sides. It is important that this is always the same amount. Just connect them to the existing side locks and then your braid will become more voluminous.
- Having passed the whole head, closer to the end, begin to weave an ordinary pigtail, tie the tip.
French braid reverse
It is also called the Dutch scythe. Despite the similarity of the principle, it is woven as if inside out. That is, the side locks are not placed on top of the middle, but under it. This creates an original pattern and looks very unusual on the hair. For a change, drive it not from top to bottom, but diagonally.
If the girl’s hair is already thick, then make two braids.
Fish tail
Despite such a funny name, it’s actually not a tail, but a braid like a spikelet. Such a masterpiece is enjoyed not only by elementary school students, but also older schoolgirls.
- Divide all hair evenly.
- Take a lock of hair from one half of the head and cross it with the second half.
- Repeat this with the other part.
- Move this way along the entire length and at the end tie the weave.
Aerial scythe
This hairstyle cannot be called the most practical, but its effectiveness is beyond doubt. Pamper your daughter for the holiday with such a haircut and she will certainly be in the spotlight. Many will be surprised to learn that such a cool hairstyle can be built at home.
- Separate a small amount of hair from the crown and temples, bind them once.
- Then grab a thin strand on each side instead of the previous side.
- Weave until you get to the bottom, and then fix the braid with an elastic band. Mesh strand will be on top of the rest of her loose hair.
Remember that children's hairstyles are different from adult hairstyles. The main one is that children's hair has not yet gained strength and has not acquired sufficient thickness. They will not hold too heavy hairpins, elastic bands with massive jewelry and other heavy accessories. This is the advice hairdressers give to mothers of babies.
