Kid’s hairstyles may seem like a task to mommies out there especially if their little ones have really long hair. To ease that task, we present you with some braids hairstyles that will ensure that the hair is protected, but in style.
Braids are one of the most simplest and fashionable hairstyles, but yet a single or even a double braid may seem too basic sometimes, given its wide popularity. That is why we have made this unique list of unique braids hairstyles that look very versatile.
So, it’s time to get creative with your child’s hair and start exploring the different braids hairstyles we have listed below.
1. Braided Ponytail
A very common hairstyle, these pigtail braids save you a lot of time as you wouldn’t need more than 6-8 minutes to style your girl’s hair in this manner instantly. The hair has been done in a sectioned style and the upper-middle section has been done in the style of normal fishtail braids.
The rest of the hair on both sides of this section is then pulled back along with the middle section to be tied up into a high ponytail.
2. Crochet Braids Style
An amazing hairstyle that will make your little girl look like a princess. While the upper middle section of the hair has been styled as large, thick, and chunky braids, the hair on either side of it is further done in tiny crochet braids style.
The crochet braids are then bought together to be tied into a single thicker braid. And the hair below the chunky section is simply done into a low-lying ponytail. What an elegant hairstyle, we have to say.
3. Minimal Inverted Braids
For a quick fix to the hair, try out this simple hairstyle where the braids have been done in an inverted manner and then tied up at the ends. While it may be a basic style, the braids help to ensure that the hair stays in place.

A different version of this hairstyle may also be easily tried out by dividing the hair into two sections and then similarly braiding the hair to create a double effect.
4. Sectioned Braids
The hair is divided into three large sections. And the hair in each of these sections is braided up starting from the base itself. After braiding at least a few strands of hair to make almost a dozen braided strands, all the hair has then been tied up together into a really high ponytail.
A cute little bow accessory is placed and it will do a great job of making your princess look absolutely adorable. The strands taken to braid the hair are thin enough so they create more space for hair in such a wide section to be neatly braided up.
5. Two-Sided French Braids
