Easy Kids Hairstyles She'll Love (2024)

Kids love expressing their personalities, and one of the most fun ways to do that is through her hairstyle. While clothes for little girls can get pricey, a fun hairstyle can often be done at home for free—as long as you have a little time and creativity. These easy ideas will make her happy without getting you off schedule during a busy morning. Whether she has long or short hair, we have ideas you can pull off.

Keep in mind that kids' opinions and styles change quickly (just think about her favorite gifts over the years!), so a look she liked last week might be too babyish today. With these hairstyle ideas for girls, you'll have plenty of options for those times when she can't make up her mind. Whether she's interested in bows, braids, or bangs, we have fun ideas to try out.

The coquette aesthetic has taken over social media. And while we're no longer putting bows on everything, we still love them in hairstyles. Tie a ribbon to a braid or ponytail for a fun addition to any hairstyle. We love a bold color or pattern, but she might prefer something pastel, depending on her outfit.

This looks more complicated than it is! Simply part the hair down the middle, and braid each half. Then, for a fun twist, secure the two ends together with a hair tie. Use barrettes to keep any unruly strands in place and out of her eyes.

If she prefers to keep her hair down, give her a little flair by pulling the top half up and securing with a bow. She'll be happier when it comes time to do crafts or play outside.

Not all little girls want to sit still to have their hair done, but they can still have a fun, simple style. Just pull her hair into two high ponytails, flip each over to make a messy bun, and secure with elastics.

Give her cornrows a fun twist with a high side pony. Let her express her fashion sense with colorful bows or barrettes.

Little girls and grown women are loving bangs these days (we can't help it—Taylor Swift makes them look so chic!). Let her try the hairstyle and see if it suits her. Just keep in mind she'll need regular trims to keep them out of her eyes.

Colorful hair ties are the key to this fun look. Start by pulling medium- to long-length hair into high pigtails. Add another hair tie a couple inches down, repeating until you reach the bottom of each pigtail.

A headband (with or without a bow) is an easy way to keep hair from falling into the face. Bonus: It adds a pop of color!

The addition of barrettes elevates the fun factor in this already cheerful hairstyle for kids and tweens. Clip a single barrette or a pair on bangs to keep hair pulled out the face and to add color and personality. This application works when hair is down or up, as shown here.

Take double buns to the next level by starting with braids. Twist around and secure with hairpins as you go. A straight part down the back and a sleeker style makes for a cleaner look than messy buns.

Dot double braids with sweet daisies for a party or special day out. Secure to hair with bobby pins.

We love this playful front side ponytail for a quick and easy everyday hairstyle. Starting at the part, brush hair out of the face and make a ponytail on one side. Add a bow or ribbon if desired.

There's a reason a simple French braid is so popular. It works for just about every hair type and can be dressed up or down.

Put hair in a ponytail high on the head, then twist the hair around into a bun. Secure with an extra hair elastic at the base or bobby pins, if needed.

A daisy chain-turned-flower crown makes any girl instantly look sweeter. This style is perfect for a birthday party, picnic, wedding, or just a fun day playing outdoors.

Long live the claw clip! Not only do they come in every size and color of the rainbow, but they also make pulling hair back easier than ever. We love this look for older elementary girls, tweens, and teens.

Disney alum Skai Jackson rocks two side Dutch braids pulled into low pigtails, which you can re-create on your daughter in no time.
