Kinky twists are about as low maintenance as protective hairdos come, so making a trip with your baby to the hairstylist every month or so is totally worth it. If you want a more comfortable style, consider a half-up bun to keep those chunky twists from falling into the face.
Natural curls are beautifully unique and learning to care for them from a young age is so important. And it’s not just about styling; it’s about loving those gorgeous ringlets and wearing them proudly. Plus, it’s a great bonding moment for parents and kids. Here are some fun, stylish Black girl hairstyles to try with your little one.

Even short hair can yield gorgeous updos! Sometimes just working in some braids and a puff can make things lovely and low maintenance. Add in some colored elastics or ribbons for a finished look.
Full of thickness and texture, natural locks can be styled in so many ways that other nationalities cannot pull off. Bubble braids are easy to construct and hold their shape effortlessly thanks to all the grit and volume.

Braiding, whether it’s with natural hair or a weave, is a classic and fun way to showcase African American hair. Little ones will love their braids as much as their mamas, so indulge them on special occasions with a traditional yet lovely style they will feel proud to wear.
@american_salon
If braiding and twisting isn’t your thing, that’s OK. Leave it to a professional and visit a hair salon that can work some magic on your daughter’s hair. While you’re at it, have some fun and ask the stylist to create thick twists on your little one so she can get a jumpstart on being a total trendsetter.

Let’s be real, when you’ve got an energetic baby on your hands, time is just not the luxury you have. Try out a high side ponytail with a fun bow to get a great ‘do without any headache.
@a4_ava
Such hairdos can appear complicated, but that doesn’t mean they have to be complicated. When dealing with long, thick hair, go the braided route and try two tight French braids that extend all the way down the back. This will keep your daughter’s hair out of her face and keep her looking adorable at the same time.

Some babies love to get glam at an early age. Indulge your little diva by creating big, beautiful curls that will make her feel like a beauty queen. The texture in her hair will hold the curl well, so all you need to do is spritz it with a bit of hair spray and you’re good to go!
@mcredibleehair
Buns are a great way to keep hair in check and look stylish. Little ones with beautiful, natural hair can totally rock bun updos like pros. Try the trendy half-up bun style on your daughter and watch her become the new “It Model” on the playground.
@thosereeds
Your favorite ‘do can also be your inspiration for your baby’s coif. For instance, kinky flat twists can end up as a side bun that looks just as good on your toddler as it does on you. So, why should you have all the fun? Try the glam on your daughter and see if she doesn’t love it as much as you do.
@returning2natural
Black girl hairstyles don’t need to be confined to French-braided pigtails or fishtailed ponytails. You can experiment and have some fun by creating small, weaving cornrows that run along the hairline and circle around two adorable pigtails. The look is unexpected and your baby will definitely be the unique one at preschool.
@modernsalon
As a parent, you certainly want her to look her best and have a well put-together appearance. Your baby, however, often just wants to break free from the hairbrush and hit the playground. Well, when it comes to easy updos, this one could be your saving grace. A high, curly pony takes under a minute to style and has some serious payoff in the cuteness department.
@american_salon
You’re not the only one who appreciates a good hair accessory. Your little one probably loves to get a little fancy, too! Indulge her feminine side and get her two bright bows. She’ll love you for making her look as pretty as a princess.
@meccamilli0n
Embrace her naturally wild, rebellious hair by allowing it to roam free. In fact, you can get away with doing absolutely nothing at all with your toddler’s hair if you just add a headband to the mix.
@liamar_king
This carefree, side-swept look can easily inspire hairdos for adults! When topped off with a floral headband, the glam makes us want to take a mental note and rock it at our next summer music festival.

@returning2natural
Who doesn’t love a little diva with pigtails? The style is about as classic as they come and, as they say, “If ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Adopt this old tried-and-true ‘do by creating two pigtail ponies.
@redlilmissy
There is nothing cuter than a little model with her hair styled in neat pigtail twists! When topped off with decorative hair ties, this look is off the charts on the adorable meter.
@a4_ava
You’re never too young to embrace big hair. Start them at an early age by testing out a high, voluminous half-up bun with chunky box braids. The look is beautiful and simple enough to throw together in a few minutes. This is perfect for a formal affair or a fancy event.
@modernsalon
A braided bun is one of the easiest – and prettiest – looks in the book but that doesn’t mean it needs to be boring. Add some sass in the form of a bright pink bow and place it behind the bun. It’s like an instant upgrade!
@american_salon
While a simple bun or pony might be an obvious and easy go-to option, there are times that call for a little more effort. Give your toddler a stylish braided black girls’ hairstyle by creating a headband braid that runs across the front of her hair. It looks complicated but it’s actually quite easy to put together!
@thehairqueen
If you’ve got a baby that can hold still for longer than 10 minutes, take advantage by decking out their hair in a beautiful, side-swept style. Start your cornrows at the side of the head and finish them with kinky twists. You can pull the loose ends into a bun or let them hang free. Either way, the style is gorgeous and really fun.
@rareessenceacademy
It’s natural to miss dressing up your hair in bows and whimsical accessories, but you can make up for it styling your daughter’s locks. Throw a pretty pink headband on her head when you’re feeling nostalgic for that simpler time.
@modernsalon
They don’t call it the “terrible twos” for nothing. Toddlers at this age tend to get themselves into trouble and messy situations without even trying. So, that’s why their hairdos need to be able to withstand any catastrophe your little one might find herself in. Tie up your little princess’s hair in a stylish messy bun so you can avoid at least one hair-raising mess.
@tiffanyyyy_j
Maybe one day she’ll sport a Mohawk, but for now, she can look lovely with a sweeter coif. Not sure where to start? Visit a braider who can braid her hair quickly, professionally, and affordably.
@american_salon
Flowers really sweeten up any hairdo, whether she is sporting a short bob or a long, curly style. A bright, bold flower clip looks beautiful against dark hair and skin, so give it a try on your next vacation or even for a play date.
@rafaellaleonarda
Youngsters often have strong opinions regarding their hair, opting to go with a natural style. However, for those willing, an intricately braided style the hair can be plaited in a variety of ways – some of them are so complicated that you’ll want to leave them in for weeks!
@american_salon
Healthy, well-taken-care-of hair is already cute but you can add some embellishment to those lovely curls when you want to really accentuate their beauty. Add in a flower, a bow, or other hair decoration for a sweet look.
@thetemplekids
Natural hair doesn’t have to be long or covered with flowers to look amazing. A short haircut once in a while gives her head a rest! Natural hair is so cute and carefree, you might abandon rigid coifs forever.
@american_salon
A medium hair length is ideal, as it remains manageable while still being pretty and fun. Work in some layers so that the curl pattern shines through.
@___kendralee
Incorporate a variety of black girls’ hairstyles into one with this ‘do that involves tight, angled braids and curly ends. Medium hair, whether it’s natural or extended, works best for a multi styled look.
@modernsalon
Sleek and straight hair can be accomplished on even the youngest ladies, and going for a pretty formal look is always a special treat. This high bun is adult-like and classic, ideal for a wedding, school dance, or recital.
@foreveryoungbeautybar
Things can just be kept simple to come off beautiful. A blunt cut with a deep side part brings out the eyes and leaves little room for error. A straight lob is casual, sweet, and perfect for school, church, or vacation.
@foreveryoungbeautybar
Let your little lady sport some adorable bouncy curls the next time you have a special event or some spare time on the weekend. She’ll feel glamorous and almost adult.
@foreveryoungbeautybar
This fabulous style combines natural curls and sleek cornrows. The neatly braided sides create a striking contrast with the voluminous, puffy top. Your little one will love to flaunt her creative, edgy side!
@american_salon
Did you know that Mohawks can actually be formal? Enjoy the luxury of the special day updos with a full-bodied pile of braids. This fancy take on a typical Mohawk is fun to wear and even cuter to look at!
@modernsalon
Twin up with a best friend and rock a Dutch braid style. If you have straight hair, this pretty glam will be quick and simple to pull off. If your hair is very long, it will look even better – and it will keep you cool through the warm summer months.
@american_salon
If your little lady wears free-flowing curls, you may upgrade her casual ‘do with some inspiration from the islands, like a chunky flower crown that’s beautiful and fun for summer.
@rafaellaleonarda
Sleek, taut ponytails are so cute on youngsters! Go for a neat center part to play off the slickness of the coif. Leave hair natural or curl/straighten it for a finished look.
@american_salon
Simple looks can be as cute and fun as complicated ones – check out the easy updo on this photo. Pair it with some bold and bright hair extensions just for fun!
@tena_79
Pair a bob haircut with straightened hair for a whole new look. It’s like a mini makeover for a little model who deserves to feel like a princess every day of the year. Some strategically placed layers can really enhance a fluid, sleek style.
@foreveryoungbeautybar
