60 Braids for Kids: 60 Braid Styles for Girls

Braids are a timeless way to style little girls’ hair. In addition to being cute, braids are also a practical choice for the youngest naturalistas in your life. Between school and daily activities like dance class, sports, and everyday play, it’s easy for curly styles to get frizzy, tangled, and even damaged. Braids help protect the hair from damage and eliminate the need for constant restyling. With so many great styles to choose from, braids are one of the most versatile styling options for little girls. Here are 60 great braid styles for the little lady in your life.

1Side Part Cornrows With Beads

Keep it simple with this side part cornrow style. Adding colored beads to the ends of the braids not only adds a touch of fun to the look, but also protects the ends of the hair.

Mohawks are very cute styles that last a long time on little girls. Braid the hair in a simple pattern or add some designs for more flair. Add cute accessories like the flowers pictured or hair jewels.

3Crisscross Double Puffs

We are loving this crisscross style. Simply section the hair and plait in small sections. Follow by securing with a rubber band in a crisscross fashion. Secure the two puffs with your favorite bows.

Nothing is better than little versatility when it comes to hair. Like adults, kids can get bored with the same hairstyle after a while. We love this side bun because you can also wear it as a side ponytail.

Bangs are such a great look for little girls. But having children running around with a classic loose bang can be a hassle, so opt for giving your child twisted bangs instead.
