Toddler Hairstyles, Elastic Braid Pigtails

Hairstyles for babies, toddlers and little girls.

We're doing another hairstyle that will work with short and baby fine hair today. This hairdo isn't anything unique or exciting, but oh so cute and classic. Of course, this doesn't have to be just for babies! Our 8 yr old princess wears this hairstyle either with the elastic sections alone for school, or up in pigtails/ponytails for soccer, gymnastics and dance quite a bit.

We had a few people ask about this hairstyle when we posted about The Rapunzel Wig, so we thought we better do a tutorial!
baby with pigtails We have found that elastic braid hairstyles are great for keeping baby hair in place. If she wears just a plain ponytail or pigtails... her hair will probably fall out of a style in a few hours. With some sort of elastic design added, the hairstyle will stay in place much longer. Even with naps and lots and lots of playing!
toddler hairIs there really anything cuter than a little head with piggy tails??

  1. I can always count on your blog to deliver... Awesome, especially for toddlers whose hair isn't that long. This style is kid friendly and not to complicated.

  16. Oh, LOVE this. I've just come upon your blog and have gotten stuck here for hours! I have a seven-month-old girl with an amazing head of hair that I don't know what to do with - refuse to cut it but can't keep it out of her eyes. Can't wait to try this - and all the others as she grows!

    Do you have any tips for getting your french braids smooth and going in the right direction? I've been braiding my own hair for years, but whenever I try to do someone else's I can't seem to get the hang of getting the hair tightly pulled into the braid, and it never seems to go where I intend, either! Is it just a matter of practice?

    Well, I'll be following! Thanks for the fun blog!

  20. Thanks to your tutorial, I could stop stressing about what to do with my 18 month old little girl's hair for her photos! I didn't really want to get it cut, but the barrette holding it out of her face just wouldn't stay. Thanks again.
