Juniors Collection by Top Model Coiffure
Children are becoming more aware of fashion, even at a very young age. And, of course, fashionista moms want their offspring to look as trendy as they are. Kids' hairstyles are more fun than ever, coming in a huge variety of easy, adorable styles, cute cuts with a wash-and-go attitude, and festive looks with easy-to-do braids and updos for the princess in your life.
Here are some great children's hairstyles inspired by grown-up looks. Find a great look for your toddler or teenager, from feisty Mohawks to playful curls, or elaborate long hairstyles with braids, loops, twists, and lots of ribbons.
Small Braids, Big Effect
This lovely blonde hairdo might look more complicated than it is. A great way to keep long hair out of a young girl's face is to gather it into a number of small braids. Here, one braid is created from the long fringe hair, allowing a few inches of sleek hair to curve above the forehead before the rest is securely caught in a long braid, which is then slung backward and fastened. Another braid is on the side, and a third one is farther back.
Long Braid on the Side
Every little girl likes to dress up, special occasion or not, and they all want to walk in their mom's shoes. While those are still too big, you can help them out with this fabulous hairstyle that looks super chic and elaborate but is easy to do.
The eye-catcher is the bump above her forehead, achieved with some teasing underneath and a touch of hairspray. The front hair is fastened on the crown and transitions into a long regular braid in the back, which sits on a thick strand of open hair. Classic but with a twist and a lot of playfulness.
Low Ponytail for Young Girls
Simple ponytails are wonderfully low-maintenance, easy, and quick, while still looking stylish and lasting through a day at school or an afternoon on the playground. With a neat part, just a bit off-center, the girl's hair falls fashionably sleek to both sides and is pulled into a low ponytail that shows a lot of texture in its length.
A little contrast in surfaces makes this look modern and practical. To achieve this, scrunch the hair with your fingers after adding a touch of styling product.
Quick Twirls for Girls
This little girl loves her fun and super-cute updo. Most of the hair is out of her face except for a slightly textured side fringe. The main body of hair is divided into several smaller sections, from which the hair is twirled into small ropes that are then wound around themselves and fastened with a pin.
To make things even easier, the ends are left sticking out and are enhanced with a tiny dab of gel or wax. This is a great example of how a very simple and quick style can have a fabulous effect.
Long Hair with Soft Control
She wants to wear her hair down, but it keeps getting in her face and looks unruly quickly? Try this ingenious style, made for little angel girls but also for mothers who want a quick and easy look for their young ones.
The perfect, blunt-cut fringe gives the long hairstyle a neat appearance, and a couple of tight French braids along the sides, starting at the temples, keep the hair controlled and out of the face. For special occasions, add some barreled curls with a curling iron.
Loops and Curls for Long Hair
Your preteen or teen girl with a developed fashion sense will love you for helping her with this fancy look. The key ingredient is long, healthy hair that can be cut into long layers, but all one length works just as well.
The sleek lengths are curled with a thick iron, and after separating a wide strand as a side fringe, a few smaller strands are twisted, looped, and knotted along the side and fastened with fun pins or invisibly in the back.
This hairstyle is great for family festivities, flower girls at weddings, or any day of significance to your daughter.
Retro Hairstyle for Young Girls
She might not know what the 1950s, Rock and Roll, and beehives were, but she might enjoy this fun retro look a lot. Bump up her hair with a foam insert to get that cool lift in the back. Sleek the hair up with some smoothing serum to make it playable, shiny, and well-held, avoiding individual "flying" hairs. If she doesn’t have the length, use a hairpiece in her original hair color.
As a final touch, a shimmering headband not only covers the transitions but also boosts the fun and approval rate in the trendy children's club. Another style that is easy to do and really kid-proof!
Girls' Hairstyle with Twists and Tousles
With this hairstyle, busy moms don’t have to worry about the hair getting messed up within the first 20 minutes of playtime. It is created for fun! The hair is already curled and tousled, and the more it is ruffled, the better. The main goal is to keep it out of her face so she doesn’t get distracted by strands in her eyes.
Glamour Look for a Young Girl
Even little girls have their moments to look glamorous. Help her out by giving her a hairstyle that would fit on any red carpet. Elegance and playfulness come together in this updo, styled with a lot of tousles on top to look young and fresh. A long strand falls down the back and is curled to perfection with a curling iron.
A long, wide strand replaces a fringe and highlights her adorable face. The ends of the pinned-up hair are left to fall in whichever direction they want, creating volume and movement on top. This look may appear complicated but is easy to achieve and, depending on skill, can be done in less than 15 minutes.
French-Braided Edge
Make your little girl feel and look cool with the help of one braid. It’s a bit on the crafty side, but with a little skill, it’s fairly easy to do. Let your stylist show you the trick to form this edgy braid along the side of her face.
It not only keeps her face open but also keeps most of her hair under control, resulting in more fun and fewer knots to brush out later. The braid ends at her ear, where it is tied together with the rest of her hair into a little side ponytail.
Flipped-Out Layers
A long hairstyle that works well on moms but also on young girls or teenagers. Ageless layers are accompanied by a long, textured fringe. To kick everything up a notch, the ends are styled into large curls and flipped outward. A chic side part gives it a fun asymmetrical effect, and the texture in the tips adds to the youthful wispiness.
The base cut is easy to maintain and offers many styling options.
Gel for Junior
Give your little sunshine a big boy makeover and make him smile. Confidence starts early, and this dapper do will help build it. All you need to do is rub a small amount of styling product into his fine hair, draw a part on each side, and style one part straight up and forward, and the other neatly down.
The basic haircut is short all over with a clean line around his tender ears and along the back. All the wow comes in with the simple and easy styling. All you need is a comb, gel, wax, or pomade.
Mohawk for Little Boys
He wants to be a little warrior? Then let him look like one with this super cool Mohawk style. What could be easier to take care of than a super-short buzz cut? Only the hair along the center of his head is about one inch long and textured so that it only takes a tiny bit of product to make it stand up fashionably.
This haircut is short enough to grow out quickly, so your little boy can try out other fun hairstyles.
Little Surfer Look
If your little boy prefers his hair to be on the longer side, he might be just a happy camper with this surfer-inspired look. The hair reaches almost to the shoulders but is layered so it distributes well and stays light and manageable.
To keep his face free of flowing strands, the hair is brushed backward with determination and just a little bit of serum to aid with the hold.
Eyebrow Art
For a very hip-hop-minded youngster, try this funky, artsy haircut brought to urban perfection with the help of a razor.
The millimeter-short buzz is as simple and low-maintenance as can be, but it’s the two thin, parallel lines shaved into the hair above the forehead and, in the opposing direction, into one of his eyebrows that make it stand out. It will grow back quickly, but then you can just change the pattern and keep things cool and interesting for your young boy.
Sporty Look for Kids with Glasses
This short, textured haircut works great for little boys who wear glasses since all the hair stays out of their face. The sides of this classic boys' haircut are especially short, while the top is longer, allowing for various styling options. Here, it is tousled and falls playfully in all directions.
Haircut for Unruly Curly Hair
If your young son has a head full of unruly curls, don’t despair. A good haircut can help. The hair is cropped about an inch long around the head, with a neat edge around the ears, sides, and back.
You can either let the curls do their thing or tame them with some gel and comb them into a fun shape with sleeker sides and a more unruly peak on top. He’s got good reason to smile, being one of the most handsome boys in school.
Curly Hairstyle for Toddlers
What could be more adorable for your toddler or preschooler than a head full of angelic curls? If they come naturally, of course. Nature has blessed him with bouncy, adorable curls, so don’t stress about trying to tame them. All he needs is a good cut that will make it easier for you to care for his cupid's locks.
Here, the hair is layered in the lower third, with more length on top than on the sides. The result is a rounded silhouette and less weight. The fringe is short enough not to fall into his eyes.
Trendy Hairstyle for Boys
The best haircuts for kids are those that require minimal prep work to look great and can be styled in various ways. This handsome look offers both. With short sides and longer hair on top, the sky is the limit when it comes to cool styles. Here, the hair is styled forward and around.
A very trendy look that has been popularized by boy bands and other celebrities, it looks just as great on young children.
