Hairstyles for Preschoolers

Preschoolers are active and lively, and as such, they need a hairstyle that suits the amount of playing and running around that they will do in school and at home. A good hairstyle for a preschooler should be one that is easy to maintain, one that will keep the hair out of her face and one that won't be distracting to her or other students.

  1. Ponytail

    • A ponytail is a style that can be used for a little girl or a little boy with long hair. A hair elastic is used to gather the hair close to the scalp and the loose hair may be left as is or braided. This style can be a lovely way to show off long hair, but many parents choose to braid the tail because it will result in fewer tangles.

    Pigtails

    • Pigtails is a style that is usually associated with little girls, and it consists of two or more ponytails. Like the standard ponytail, pigtails might be left loose or braided. Many parents adore the look of two pigtails set high on their child's head. With short, fine hair, this causes small tufts of hair that stick straight up. Not only is this style cute, it can be a good way to get your child's hair out of her face.

    Pixie Cut

    • A pixie cut involves hair that is cut fairly short in the back, but with long bangs left in the front. Once mostly seen on girls, it is a cut that is gaining a great deal of fashion among boys. It is a short cut and very easy to care for on a day-to-day basis, though regular trims are necessary to maintain it.

    Buzz Cut

    • Buzz cuts are seen almost universally on boys, and they involve cutting all the hair on the head down to roughly 1/4 inch. This hair style is easy to maintain, and especially in young children, it grows out fast if your child decides that he does not like it. Maintaining a buzz cut and keeping it neat do take some effort on the part of the barber, but many parents handle this task at home with a pair of of clippers.

    Multiple Braids

    • Multiple small braids can be a great option for preschoolers who have a lot of hair and who like having beads or barrettes on their braids. Section off your child's hair and simply start the braid close to the scalp.

    Cornrows

    • Cornrows are braids that are plaited very closely to the scalp all the way down their length. This hairstyle is most popular among children of African descent, and it can be a great way to avoid tangles. However, it is important to remember that this style should be done loosely on younger children.
