5 Low-Maintenance Hairstyles Your Kids Will Love

Parents, managing your little one's hair doesn’t have to be a hassle. From playful ponies to sharp styles, we have you covered with low-maintenance looks to help your kid feel confident. Getting your kid’s hair trimmed at your local Great Clips salon makes styling a breeze! Read on to see our top 5 fun and easy hairstyles for any occasion.

1. Half Up Half Down

When you can’t decide between styling your kid’s hair up or down, why not do both? Whether your little one has long layers or a short bob, the half up style works for any hair type and is easy to achieve. Simply divide your kid’s hair horizontally from ear to ear and pull the top section into a ponytail or bun. And just like that, your little one’s new favorite look is complete! Personalize it with cute clips or a bow to keep their look in place for the whole day.

2. Effortless Combover

Your little one will be all smiles for this classic look! A combover is a great choice if you're looking for a quick and easy style for busier days. All you need to do is get your kid's hair wet and part it to the side with a comb. We recommend using the Solutions Wacky Gel to ensure their combover stays in place throughout their entire day!

3. Accessorized Braid

Let your kid’s personality shine through with a braid! From French braids to fishtails, this look comes in a variety of forms, allowing you to get creative with your little one's hair. To create a standard braid, divide the hair into three equal sections and alternate crossing the outer sections over the middle one. Keep repeating this pattern until you reach the end of your kid’s hair, then secure it with a cute accessory like a bow or ribbon. The perfect touch!

4. Messy Texture

Creating a new look for your kiddo is as easy as adding texture to their hair! This style is ideal for short or fine hair types, and you can start by working a small amount of styling product into damp hair. The Designing Taffy is perfect for defining shorter styles and boosting texture. Once applied, run your fingers through their hair to tousle and lift, giving it that effortlessly messy, voluminous finish.

5. Simple Pigtails

Nothing beats an adorable hairstyle that both you and your kids will love. Pigtails are a playful yet practical choice that instantly adds fun to your little one’s signature look – braid it or leave it loose! Simply separate the hair vertically to create two sections, securing each one with an elastic. Changing the position of the elastic can create both high and low pigtails, making this look more customizable! We recommend adding the Solutions Afraid Knot Detangler to prevent your kid’s hair from getting knotty.
