While hair trends often focus on adult women, it’s just as important to consider the style needs of young girls. As fashionistas-in-the-making, they deserve their own unique looks that can be featured in fashion magazines, blogs, and websites – including this one. In recent years, braided styles have gained immense popularity, making them a perfect subject for our blog post today.

This versatile hairstyle seamlessly combines three different styling elements. The side braid provides a sleek and polished frame for her face, while the tiny pigtails nestled behind it add a playful touch. Meanwhile, the wavy ringlets that follow create a charming, effortless vibe. If you’re inspired to replicate this look, remember to gently remove any rubber bands or hair ties before bed to prevent long-term damage and breakage.
“Double Dutch” braid
The Double Dutch braid gets its name from the clever combination of two braids – one large, one small. To achieve this unique look, a key step is to pull out a section of hair before starting the first braid. This chunk of hair is then woven into a smaller braid, with strands from the larger braid skillfully incorporated along the way.
