Before your child learns how to style their own hair, you’ll likely have to help them get ready for school in the morning. Even if styling isn’t your forte, there are several hairdos for kids that are easy to recreate with the right accessories. Here are a handful of ideas for all hair lengths.

Your Guide to Quick & Easy Kids' Hairstyles 

1. Half Bun

These are easy for kids with long or thick hair, since you won’t have to worry about getting all the strands packed neatly into a full bun.

First, brush out the hair. Then, gather only the top layer and loop the elastic around it to form a bun. You can use a scrunchie or ribbon instead of an elastic for more flair. 

2. Braid Bunches 

These instantly make a regular ponytail more exciting and also work for kids with short hair.

Gather the hair into a ponytail at the back of the head, securing it with an elastic hair tie. Divide the ponytail into three or four sections, then braid each one. Use elastics, barrettes, or baby bows to secure the ends of the braids. 

3. Space Buns

These look youthful and cute, and take five minutes or less to create. They work best with long, fine locks.

Divide the hair down the middle, and put each side into a high ponytail. Twist the ponytails, wrapping them around themselves to form two buns. Attach the ends to the base with bobby pins, baby bows, elastics, or barrettes. 

4. Side Ponytail 

This is whimsical and works with all hair lengths, which makes it perfect for young children.

Gather the strands into a high ponytail slightly to the left or right of the crown of the head. Secure them with an elastic hair tie, and add a colorful bow or ribbon to the base for extra pizazz.
