40 Adorable Little Girl Updos

More

Little girl updos have gone quite a long way from how it was a few years back. There used to be a lot of teased hair and hairspray involved from what we can recall back then. Now, most little girl updos are age appropriate and don’t require a lot of chemicals in the process. Here are little girl updos that might just spark your interest!

Heart-Shaped Braid 2

This pretty ponytail is achieved by shaping out the heart shape first and securing it as a normal ponytail. With the use of a topsy tail hairstyler, pull your ponytail through. You then french braid the rest of the hair on the side, and secure it at the bottom.

If your little lady has long hair, this would just be perfect. To achieve this, gather your child’s hair to one side and tie it into a ponytail, BUT remember not to pull all the way through on the last round. This will give you a loop. Separate the loop into two parts, and with the remaining hair, place it in between the two loops to create a center part. Pin everything securely, and you are done!

As you can see, when it comes to little girls updos, the options are endless! In order to achieve the best effect for the styles posted, it is important to take into consideration the type of hair your child has. For example, the aforementioned hair bow would work well with straight hair, but if your child has curly or wavy hair, it might not have the same effect.

As with everyone else, little girls’ hair differ in type and texture. We advise on minimal use of chemicals on their hair as they are quite young, as well as to preserve their hair’s health. Try to go as natural as possible. A lot of us might be tempted to try on grown-up hairstyles on our little girls – with the big hair, poofs, and huge curls, but going age-appropriate might be the best choice.
