Your little one’s hair is a beautiful thing—that is, when it’s not a messy, knotted, bedhead-ridden disaster. When that is the case though, you’re always the super mom (or dad!) tasked with turning a night’s worth of relentless pillow friction into something presentable, all before the school bus arrives. And we get it—with so much hair and so little time, some busy mornings mean that a quick comb through a colorful barrette is as good as it’s going to get.
But on days when your little girl demands a more done-up look, you don’t have to race the clock thanks to the vast number of easy kids hairstyles out there. You can never go wrong with the basics—ponytails, pigtails, buns, and the like. And once you’ve mastered a basic braid, you can quickly churn out more creative spins on any style, all of which only look like you've spent hours. For more complex (but still super simple!) ‘do’s, consider fishtails, criss-cross braids, and cool wrapped ponytails—but only if you can manage to get your toddler to sit still long enough. Have fun helping your little one get ready every day (well, some days) with any of these basic kids hairstyles.
