Toddler Braids and Twists

Finding a cute, stylish hairdo for your toddler girl can be challenging, and is by far the most popular on my blog. So I thought I would post some new styles, featuring toddler's fine, wispy hair pulled back into adorable twists and braids. The trick is to start with wet hair, and have lots of hair gel (not spray gel) on hand. 

If your little girl has a hard time sitting still, like mine, I would gather snacks and put on a movie or favorite tv show to distract her and help her hold still. These styles are nice because they don't involve any heat, like curling irons or flat irons. 

Styles tend to look cleaner if you take the time to get parts very straight, which is also much easier with wet hair and gel or pomade. Note: If using pomade, a tiny bit goes a very long way!

Disneyland Hairstyles for Toddlers to Tweens

Since we bought annual passes to Disneyland in 2012, my daughter has gotten nearly every hairstyle offered by Downtown Disney's Studio 365 Hair Salon, and a couple of our favorites from Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, which is inside Disneyland, they also have bibbidi bobbidi boutique locations at Disney World and on Disney Cruise Line's Fantasy Ship.

Disney 365 offers more Rock Star hairstyles, if your daughter is more of a diva than a princess and wants a gorgeous hairdo while you are at Disneyland and California Adventure. In fact, they use so much gel that the hairstyles often stay for several days, even through sleeping and swimming. 

I love how they let the girls choose colored hair extensions. 

This first style is 'Take a Bow', and the girls can choose one color of extension as part of the package.

Spring 2014 Hairstyles for Toddlers

Moms of Toddlers always seem to be searching for new, creative hairstyles for their little girls so here are some new ideas for the spring season!

Toddler Hair Tutorial

1. First part hair into 4 sections. Starting from top of your head dow to each ear. This makes the two front sections.

2. Split the back of the hair into two parts. This does not need to be precise. Now, I like to put a little product on my hands. Just a little bit to help your hands stick to their hair and give you more control. Nothing wet or sticky, just a little tacky.

Here are some ideas of products that work well:  bumble and bumble grooming creme or Paul Mitchell Shaping Creme

3 & 4.  Then you want to tie the back two pieces into a knot. Nice and low.

5.  Continue  to tie knots until you run out of hair. Do this as tight as you can. It will loosen up on it’s own.

6, 7 & 8. Then finish with a rubber band and tuck end under and secure with a bobby pin.

9. Take one of the side peices and wrap it over the top of the knot and then around and under it and secure it with a bobby pin. Repeat with other side. This will cover up the space ubove the knot. It is easier with longer hair. If you are doing this with shorter hair, and it wont wrap all the way around and under, you can pin it into the knot.

10. It is ok if it is loose. That is kind of the look. It doesn’t need to be perfect. Just try and hide all your bobby pins. You can pin up more of the front peices if you like.

11. I like using shorter bobby pins for little ones. I cannot find a link for them but you can get them at Sally’s Beauty Supply. One brand is Strictly Professional. If you prefer the regular size ones these are the best. They stay closed  really well and are great bang for your buck.

now here it is on longer hair. ruby is four. her hair is long and pretty thick for her age.

For a how-to on doing this style on older girls and thicker, longer hair, visit thebluecloset.com.
