Favorite Toddler Hairstyles: Twists, Pigtails

These are some of my all-time favorite hairstyles for toddlers and young girls with short to medium-length hair. I adore braided pigtails with a colorful knit beanie for the cool spring weather! Also some inspiration for curly-haired girls!

Spring Hairstyles for Toddlers

Loose braids, loosely braided pigtails, lace headbands and puffy buns are all the rage this spring from designers including GAP kids and Mini Boden (for shopping info see links below)!

Girls Dance Hairstyles

I have recently discovered this darling girls dance line - Lexi Luu - that has girly, unique little outfits for jazz, hip hop and lyrical classes and performances.This is a great idea for a dance photo shoot using simple backgrounds and props. Plus cute hairstyles including pull-through sections, high ponytails and long curls. I'm always looking for new ways to style my daughter's hair for dance class and performances, so these are cute ideas!

Pretty Toddler Ballet Buns

All the little girls at my daughter's most recent holiday Nutcracker ballet performance were using (or rather, their mom's were using) these bun donuts to make the most beautiful, shiny, full buns, even on fine or short toddler hair. 

the tool looks like this, which you can purchase from amazon or most beauty supply stores: (you can also make your own by cutting out the toe area from a sock and rolling it to form the donut.)



So here is how to make the perfect ballet bun, using the bun form above:
