3 Quick & Easy Hairstyles for Girls (That Really Are Quick & Easy!)
Mums, we need to have a serious chat. You’ve been scrolling through Pinterest, YouTube, and every “5-minute hair tutorial” under the sun, right? Only to discover that the 5 minutes actually means three hands, an alarm set an hour early, and a PhD in braidology. 🙃
Well, I’m here to save your mornings — and your sanity. The shocking truth? I believe there are only 3 hairstyles that are truly quick and easy for little girls:
1. The Simple Ponytail
Classic, reliable, and comes with the added bonus of letting you throw a bow in if you fancy. 🎀
How to do it:
-
Brush your little one’s hair to remove any tangles.
-
Gather the hair in one hand and hold it steady while securing it with a hair tie using the other.
-
Wrap the bobble tightly around the base of the ponytail, twisting and threading the hair through each loop until it feels secure.
✨ Feeling sparkly? Add a glittery bow above the ponytail for that extra magical touch!
2. Classic Pigtails
Because some things never go out of style. Add bows if you want your little one to feel like a tiny princess (or a tiny superhero — your choice). 💖
How to do it:
-
Brush hair until smooth and tangle-free.
-
Part the hair straight down the middle into two equal sections.
-
Gather each section and secure with a hair tie at the base of each ponytail.
Optional: Add glitter bows for a fun, picture-perfect finish! 🎀💖
3. Quick Bunches
A playful vibe that screams “fun morning, zero stress”!
How to do it:
-
Brush your little one’s hair to smooth out any tangles.
-
Part the hair down the middle (or off to the side for a playful twist!) and gather the first section in one hand.
-
Working in sections, follow the pigtails tutorial, but on the last loop of the hair tie, don’t pull all the hair through — to create a cute mini bun. Gently tug on the bunches to add a bit of volume.
Optional: Add some sparkly bows for a finishing touch!
💡 Bonus Tips
-
Once you’ve mastered these three, try simple plaits or space buns next!
-
Shorter hair? No problem! If you can’t gather all the hair in one go, create a stacked ponytail by making a small ponytail on top, then gathering the rest of the hair and securing it together with the mini ponytail. The same trick works for pigtails and bunches — just work in sections.
💬 Your turn! Which of these quick styles is your go-to? Or do you have a secret hack I need to know about? Drop it in the comments — let’s save mornings, one ponytail at a time!
