Finding the right hairstyle for your little loved ones can be challenging. Kids, even young ones, often have very concrete ideas not just about what they want to wear but also about how they want their hair to look. Some may want to copy the styles of mom and dad, while others are free-spirited designers in their own right.
You want to make them happy, but since you are the one dealing with tangles and maintaining their cute hairstyles, the look also has to be manageable and practical enough to keep up with the high-energy lifestyle of active boys and girls.
Candy Curls
A good detangling spray will help keep those adorable long locks looking playful and sweet without the styling pain. This is the perfect long hairstyle for a little girl who wants to be a princess and has natural curls.
The length reaches a few inches below her shoulders, and the part is right in the center. A bonus here is that this length allows for various styles like braids, pigtails, and ponytails. There is also plenty of room for colorful accessories.
Little Rebel
Heartbreakers start early. Barely out of diapers, this young boy channels James Dean with his hairstyle. The difference from his iconic role model is not only his tender age but also that his look is modernized, with more volume and less pomade.
The top hair, slightly longer than the sides, is lifted up. This can be achieved with a round brush and blow dryer or, requiring less bribing and patience, with a touch of light gel or mousse, kneading the damp hair with fingers while teasing it into place. He can be ready in no time to get on his toy motorbike and wrap the world around his little finger.
Twirls and Highlights
For the fashion-conscious young girls, a touch of color can really brighten their day. It’s not necessary, and perhaps not advisable, to dye the entire head, but a few highlights around the face are easy to apply and can grow out naturally.
Another stylish aspect of her long, textured hairstyle is the deep side part, allowing the long fringe to drape fashionably over her right eye.
Heartthrob Fringe
Justin Bieber, move over—there’s a new generation of heartthrobs in training. This little boy’s long fringe draws attention to his big brown eyes, and the slight curve at the tips makes it very trendy.
The sides of the haircut are short and do not cover his ears, and the neck has some graduation. The top hair, with its length reaching the eyebrows in front and the tips of the ears on the sides, completes the look.
Soft Upstyle
When styling your sweet offspring’s hair up, you don't want to torture them with pointy, sharp, or heavy accessories that could poke them or pull on the hair too much. This soft and stylish hairstyle is easy to create and requires only minimal pinning.
It’s all about twirling and rolling the little girl's long curls along the side and then gently fastening everything in the back. A couple of loose strands in front add to the pageant or princess effect. A curling iron will enhance the drama, and all she needs now is a magic wand and a tiara!
Mini Bob
For the true fashionistas of a tender age, there’s no choice but a classic bob. To make it perfect for kids, this version is textured and ruffled just enough to be playful and have a happy vibe.
The cutting lines follow the classic ideal, running bluntly along her jawline and ending in a charming curve at her chin. It may seem like all the hair is the same length, but some gentle texturing creates a layered effect in the lower part.
Not So Tame Mane
Natural curls can be a challenge, but a beautiful one when allowed to grow long and show off their full potential. This long cut is rounded at the bottom and has a few layers to lighten the load and better distribute the luxurious mass of hair.
The haircut is simple, but the effect is dramatic due to the motion and incredible volume of the young girl's thick hair. A ponytail, pigtails, or bun are great alternatives for times when the opulence needs more control.
