Toddler Sides Up

I have not done too many toddler styles lately because well let me just be honest my toddler has a mind of her own and hates getting her hair done.  I used to think that kids with a sensitive head was because the parents never did their hair. Wow was I wrong, my toddler has such a sensitive head that it hurts just to pull her sides up.  With that said I did manage to get pictures of this fun simple style.

First I took a small amount of the front of her hair and pulled it to the side and secured it with an elastic.

Then I pulled both the sides back into a single ponytail securing it with an elastic. 

A short explanation on the hair accessory.  In our schools the new fad for girls is to take embroidery floss and mixing 2 colors together, and putting it together on a bobbie pin.  I will post a link to instructions on how to make your own hair accessories.

If this fad hasn't hit your daughters school then you can be the first. 

Toddler Braids and Ribbons

First start by pulling a small piece of hair across the front of her head and secure it on the side with an elastic. 

Then make a 2nd part and french braid this hair.  Pulling the first ponytail into the braid then secure with an elastic. 

Make a parallel 2nd french braid secure it with an elastic.

Take a piece of ribbon and start at the top weaving it in and out of the braid crossing the ribbon in the center of the 2 braids.

I wrapped the ends of the ribbon around both ponytails and tied the ribbon in a bow.

Braid to Ponytail

This is the same style done on both of my girls.  I just wanted to show how different one style looks from different types of hair.

This first set of pictures is of my Toddler's hair.  I made a simple french braid of top of her head I angled it to the left just a little bit.

Then I pulled all the hair including the braid into a ponytail. 

The last step was making ringlets in her ponytail.

My older daughter is next I did the same french braid along the top of her head.

Then I pulled all the hair except the french braid into a ponytail. 

I wrapped the french braided hair around her ponytail and secured with a clear elastic. 

I also put ringlets in her hair to finish off the ponytail. 



Toddler Roll to Side Pony

My little one asked me a little while ago for a side ponytail.  With her hair being so short and thin, I wasn't sure how I was going to pull this off.  I have done this style on my oldest all the time but had never thought it would work in my toddlers hair.  But lucky or us it turned out and she loves it.

We started with wet hair then we rolled adding new hair with each roll until it was rolled to the opposite side of her head then we secured it with an elastic.

She likes flowers so we added a flower. 

Simple Toddler French Braids

I know this style seems simple which it is but this is a huge style for my toddler who has such thin and short hair.  She was so excited when we could finally french braid.

All you do is make a center part and then french braid each side down to the ends. 

1 Pigtail 1 Braid

To give a little history of this hair style you must understand that I would have never created a style that is one braid one pigtail.  This style is all designed by the 4 year old who has wore this style for about 2 weeks straight.  I finally decided I had better share this with everyone.  Some of you moms out there might just understand what its like to have a spunky daughter like mine.

I first made a small center poof.  I used the bobbie pin that you can see below to give her thin hair an actual poof look.  Then we split the poof hair and made 2 pigtails.

She always picked which side was the braid and which one was the ponytail.   

I finished off the ponytail by putting ringlets. 



Toddler Fancy Hair

As I have mentioned so many times my daughters hair is so fine and difficult to work with that when I start a hairstyle I always hope that it turns out cute.

We started by making a small poof in the front of her head.

Because of how short and thin her hair is we took the bottom half of her hair and secured it upwards with an elastic. 

Then all the hair gets pulling into a high ponytail.  I put ringlets in her hair using the flat iron.

Once the ringlets were done I used bobbie pins to lay them in place. 

Below is the top back view of her head.

This last picture is to show everyone how much fun we have doing her hair.  As you can see she is full of it and always a moving target for hairstyles. 

Toddler Poof and Braids

On my oldest daughter I would say this style is really easy but with my youngest this can be a trick.  Not only because her hair is so thin but she is also a moving target while trying to braid. 

First make a small poof in the front of her hair.

Then start above her ear on one side and french braid her sides up until you reach the center of her head.  Do this on both sides of her head.

Add the hair from the poof and both braids and combine into an elastic as shown below.

I finished this style by making ringlets in her hair and she wanted a bow added.

Toddler Rolls to Sides Up

Start by making a part I always use the far lateral part and I made 4 small rolls across the front of her head as shown below.

Then take the remaning hair on both sides and pull towards the middle of her head.  **Note** Include the hair from the 4 small rolls.

Below is the top view

Last we added ringlets with a flat iron.

Toddler Roll Headband

This is one of the fast and easy hairstyles.  Take her hair from one ear we started on the right side and rolled across the top of her head and secured the end with an elastic.

Then I made ringlets with the flat iron and added a flower for accessories.

Toddler Valentines

This is not really a Valentines style but this was the hair and outfit my toddler picked out for school today. 

Today is their Valentines Party.  I was shocked when she said we could do pigtails.  She doesn't know that she has 4 elastics in.  She told me I could do 2.

Her hair was  put into small elastics holding up the bottom of her hair up.  Then those were pulled into pigtails. 

We also put in Valentines Bows to top off the style. 

As you can see from the pictures she is all attitude.
