Mums love it when their girls wear natural-hair pigtails and ponytails because these hairstyles go well with different scrunchies and outfits. They are also the best styles for events.
African pigtail hairstyles also last longer when braids are mixed with natural hair. Do this on school days because you might not have time to regularly change her hairstyle.
Interweaving asymmetrical and symmetrical cornrows creates unique hairstyles. Add some hair decorations like beads, if the school allows them. Choose small and lightweight beads for the little girl's tender head.
Buns and ponytails for girls

Braid your daughter's hair into thin or medium-sized cornrows. Use braids to make hair extensions at the end of each cornrow and tie the extensions into a bun, twin buns, or three buns. Alternatively, let the extensions hang to create a ponytail style.
These styles make a little girl feel like royalty. There are various cornrow patterns to choose from, or use your imagination and creativity. You can also make buns and pigtails on natural hair using artificial hair extensions.
A ponytail or bun looks sweet with scrunchies. These are the most convenient hairstyles for girls who have energetic and playful. Let them play as much as they want. They will not ruin their hair because these hairstyles remain intact for weeks.
Maxi cornrows for girls

Create a beautiful hairstyle for girls with two big cornrows running from the front to the back of the head. Adult women and young girls love the Dutch braid style's refreshing look. It also adds volume and extension to the hair.
Crown braid styles are two cornrows forming a crown-like shape. You can creatively make different Ghanaian cornrow crown styles using multicoloured braids.
Creating the Dutch braid style or African crown design takes less than an hour. Adding thin cornrows to these styles will take about two hours.
Braids for kids

Kids love long braids with curls or beads because they capture their agemates' attention. Braiding is a universal children's hairstyle for girls. Kids wear long, short, multicoloured box braids and other styles. You can tie the strands into ponytails, buns, pigtails, etc.
Every girl is a princess and deserves to feel beautiful. Allow your child to experience this and enjoy her childhood by letting her have braids if that is what makes her happy. She will grow into a confident, lovely, and enchanting lady.
If you cannot create the masterpiece your child desires, leave her with a qualified hair stylist to do the magic. Chunky braids are attractive but might be heavy for your child's head.

Beads enable hairstylists to create interesting hairstyles. Every natural hairstyle with braids can be beautified with beads. Bring out the playful vibe in your daughter by decorating her hair with colourful beads. Allow her to choose her favourite colours.
You can buy more beads for her to match with different outfits. It is unlikely to find an exact hairstyle on other kids if you use the beads creatively.
Safeguard tips for the natural hair of children
During a discussion with Haekhinz Hair Culture (HHC), a natural hairstyling brand, as conveyed to Legit.ng, insights were shared on the methods employed to safeguard the natural hair of children. These methods include, but are not limited to:
- Proper detangling of their natural hair before styling.
- Sealing in moisture to avoid dryness that leads to breakage.
- Avoiding tight hairstyles that cause headaches.
- Avoiding low-tension hairstyles based on their different hair textures.
The natural hair salon further said that due to the uniqueness of each child, the selection of hairstyles plays a crucial role in determining the most suitable options. HHC explained that:
Children with curly hair textures aren’t advised to try some hairstyles because of the outcome or the longevity of the hair. Parents basically want hairstyles that last for a week or more to avoid back-to-back salon visits that cause manipulations on the hair.
For basic hair needs, children most of the time need have a detailed treatment for their hair. For example, cornrows(weaves) do not last for some hair textures and we advise their parents to avoid them.

How to look cute in hairstyles?
You can look beautiful in any hairstyle that matches your skin tone and face shape. You should also wash your hair, apply oil on the scalp, and moisturize your hair before braiding. Dirty hair and scalp make a trendy hairstyle look messy. Lastly, buy enough braiding materials and look for an experienced hair stylist who knows how to make the style you want.
