Key Points

Keeping your little one distracted can help you create toddler girl hairstyles easily

Giving your toddler choices can help you get her hair done, and it also contributes to her development

Variations on the traditional pony or piggies can help you style fine or uneven hair

Doing your toddler girl’s hair can be tricky. Their hair might still be quite short, which means you often can’t get it all into a single ponytail or braid. And you might need to get that hairstyle done quickly — not only do you have a thousand things on your to-do list, but they don’t like to sit still for long either!

We hope to make life a little easier for you on that front! In this article, we’ll look at:

What We’ll Be Looking At …

Without further ado, here are our ten favourite hairstyles for you to try out on your toddler.

If you don’t like a pony tail sticking straight up from your toddler’s head, or, you’re looking to put a new twist on your go-to toddler girl hair style, then the topsy tail is a great place to start.

How to: Secure a pony tail on the top of the head, leaving enough space between the hair tie and scalp to make a hole in the hair. Then bend the pony tail forward and feed through the hole. This will look cute and also help the pony lie back against the head — a great one if your toddler tends to try to pull out her hair!

This is a good option for piggies when your daughter’s hair is fine and tends to have a lot of flyaways.

How to: Start by creating one topsy tail atop your daughter’s head. Then part the rest of her hair into two pigtails, remembering to separate and gather the hair from the topsy tail into the two piggies too.

This is another take on pigtails that works well with uneven hair.

How to: Part the hair in the middle. Part the hair in multiple sections on each side of the head, creating a row of small ponytails down each side. Then take more elastics and secure the first pony to the second, and so on down the head. You can use fewer sections for less hair and more sections for those with a lot of hair. You end up with pigtails that look as if they have been braided by elastics .

Want to take elastic braided pigtails a step further?

How to: Turn them into messy buns at the crown of the head instead of piggies. We love this look where only one side features the elastic braids — even faster to create!

Dutch braid pigtails are a slightly more advanced style and great for toddlers with thick hair.

How to: Part the hair in the centre and work on one side at a time. Create a dutch braid to the crown of the head and then pull the rest of the hair on that side up to meet it into one ponytail. Repeat on the other side of the head.

The bun trio is a cute way to secure all the hair, rather than leaving anything loose.

How to: Part the hair into three sections, from top to bottom. Fasten each section with an elastic, so that you have three separate ponytails. If your daughter’s hair is long enough, plait each one before twisting each around into a bun. If it’s on the short side or quite fine, you can forgo the plaits and just twist each pony into a little bun.
