Amazing Braided Pigtail Styles for Girls

Is there anything more fun than a little girl with pigtails? We think not! Be inspired by these amazing and beautiful hairstyles. Whether you are styling hair that is short, medium, long, straight or curly, you’ll be sure to find something to try out that will stand out.

Pigtail Styles for Girls

Most of the following girly hairstyles with pigtails involve braids with ribbons and lovely bow ties, cute twists or unusual partings. Some hairstyles look intricate, but there are also simpler ones, suitable for beginner level.

#1: Criss-Crossed Low Ponytails with Ribbons

This is a beautiful hairstyle for girls with long hair. Two inside out French Braids are criss-crossed in the back to create a very interesting design. Adding in a pretty ribbon really takes this braid to the next level. The overall effect of these French braid pigtails is really beautiful.

#2: Braids, Buns and Bows

Take your braiding skills to the next level by creating a basket weave effect. A traditional braid suggests three strands, but this one uses four or more strands to build an intricate and very unique braid. Hair is parted right down the middle with a basket braided down on either side. The braids are secured and then twisted up into cute little buns. The crowning pieces of this hairstyle are the adorable hair bows on top of each bun! There is a lot going on here, but it’s truly an inspiring look to try!

#3: Double Heart Braid

This double heart shaped braid actually appears harder to achieve than it really is. The inside braid was sectioned out and braided after the outside one was braided and out of the way. After both braids were created and secured into pigtails, a pretty ribbon was weaved into the braid for a more formal and intricate result. Finally the deep purple flowers were attached to each ponytail. This would be a great look for a flower girl.

Quick and easy hairstyles for school

Quick and easy hairstyles for school

The countdown to the new term is on. Whether you’ve got a child starting in reception or a preteen going onto senior school, having the right hairstyle is essential. Here, we offer some school hairstyle inspiration with a little help from kids’ groomer Hester van Overbeek

Loose pigtails or plaits

How to do girls’ hair for school in five minutes or less? Opt for the on-trend loose pigtails or plaits. This easy school hairstyle works particularly well for girls with wavy hair (or you can cheat with this styler). Start with a quick once through with a wide-tooth comb, split the hair into two parts of roughly the same size and then place a thin band about half way down to create a loose ponytail. Vary it by adding a loose plait in each side.

Dutch braids

This hairstyle continues to be a hit among schoolgirls of any age and happily, it’s not as hard as it looks. Divide the hair into two portions using a fine-tooth comb to get a neat parting down the middle. Divide the hair on each side into three sections near the forehead. With a Dutch braid, you fold each portion of hair under the next. Grab extra strands of hair every time you take a section of the plait towards the back of the head. Follow the shape of the head as close to the scalp as possible. Keep it as tight as you can and that way it should last two days

The super-quick boys haircut you can do at home in four easy steps

1. Spray the hair wet and section the top of the hair (over the crown of the head) with a clip.

2. Spray the hair again and take vertical sections of the hair between your fingers. Cut downwards with the scissors. Repeat all around the crown of the head.

3. Now take the top layer and slice in with the scissors at an angle – not in a straight line. Take the fringe between your fingers in sections and cut into it at an angle.

4. Blow-dry the hair before using clippers – never use them on wet hair. Use the clippers to tidy the back with no attachment on slow and controlled movements

Soft tussled locks

For boys with longer hair, give it a quick comb and then use texturing cream or a salt spray and gently twist it with your fingers. Ta-dah! This is perhaps one of the quickest and coolest hairstyles for school.

The top-knot

Do a high ponytail and tie with a hairband. Now fold the hair into a bun and use the other band to tie it in place. Make it wispy by gently tugging at it – that way it looks more natural. This is another practical school hairstyle that you’ll be doing in less than two minutes before you know it.
