Little Girl's Hairstyles - Side Puffy Braid with Twist Braid 10-15 min

So You Think You Can Dance Little Girl Hairdo

Puffy Braid and Twist Braid


I saw this style on "So You Think You Can Dance" last season, and have been filing it away. This is a great one for your girls who have short hair, since you can modify the twist braid on the side into just another ponytail. Puffy braids are always super for short hair, especially since there's so much variety when doing them. (This also works great for long hair too!)
I started with a side part in the front to the crown, and then combed back the rest of her hair and clipped it off so it wouldn't get pulled in to any of the puffy braids. And of course, her hair is damp!
On the larger side of the part, I made two small ponytails, about an inch wide and deep.
The next section down, I made three ponytail sections, splitting the first two in half and joining them in the middle.
On the next row, I did two ponytails again, making the same size as the first row, and split the middle ponytail again and joined them.
Once I got to this point, I resprayed the hair remaining, prepping it for a twist braid. This is where you can rejoin the two ponytails into just one, if you have shorter hair to work with, or leave it. Do whatever you think looks best according to the hair you have left.
I decided to do a twist braid with the two remaining sections.
I round brushed the back of her hair.
We love this little girl hairdo!
 Be sure to check back tomorrow! It's my day to be SITS!!! Hurray!!

Eran - The Quarterlife Quest said...

Super cute! I don't have kids yet of my own, but I wonder how hard it would be to give it a go on my own hair :) Sure wish my mom had step-by-step instructions like this when I was a kid!

Melissa Mashburn said...

How Awesome are those hair styles!

My daughter is 13 now and she has her own style and way of doing her hair. I wish I had known how to do those styles when she was little. She has the perfect hair to work with. Slightly wavy/curly, thick, beautiful red hair.

Allison @ House of Hepworths said...

Congrats on your SITS day!! Your hairstyles are adorable, and your daughter is too!!!

Leiah said...

Congratulations on your SITS day! When I was in high school on the drill team we all had to wear our hair french-braided for each game. There were 85 girls and 5 of us who could braid. I haven't braided hair again in a very long time...lol!
Enjoy your day!

Mom of the Twinkies and Tot! said...

OMG! I'm sooo glad I found you through SITS! I have 7 month old twin daughters and cannot wait until I can do this to their hair one day!!!

I just hope they'll be great little models like your daughter is and are patient while I do their hair each morning! She is adorable and has beautiful hair!!!

Lisa Petrarca said...

Awesome...wish I had girls to fix hair like that, sigh. Boys don't want you to mess with their hair.

Ive always wanted to learn how to french braid. For some reason I just cant get it. These are fantastic dos.

WOW. I wish my girls would let me mess with their hair----or LEAVE the hair tie in that I put their hair up in.

Any suggestions on that?

Happy SITS day. Beautiful do's.

Thanks!

hellfrozenrain said...

Oh, how ADORABLE! *flails!* When I was a kid, my mom used to LOVE to play with my hair, and I remember having a hairdo similar to this (although I was all about the loop-braid ponytails :D)... I hope I have a daughter some day so I can toy with her hair... <3

Your model is quite adorable as well. :)

Oh, and HAPPY SITS DAY! :D

Holyoke Home said...

As a little girl, I was often chastised by my teachers for playing with my classmates hair, "This is not a beauty salon," they said.

These darling hair styles are great!

Cute ides for hair. I always had a time with my girls' hair since it was curly and tangled so often. I will have to pass on your blog to my daughter for my granddaughter.

What a work of art!

Stephanie Faris said...

SO cool! I love styling hair. When I was a kid my sister had one of those Barbie heads and I'd sit and do various hairstyles for hours.

Oh, and happy SITS day!

Angela Friend said...

Your blog is so great! You have such a talent for all these hair do's! So many times, things I try on my girls turn into a hair don't instead of a hair do! I can't wait to show my daughter your blog when she gets home from school! Have a great SITS day!

Jamee said...

Happy SITS day! Love the cute hairstyles! I can't wait until my little girl is big enough to style her hair!

Holly Ann said...

Stopping by from SITS... Happy FB Day to you!!!

I spent about 20 minutes looking at all the hairstyles... WOW is all i can say!!!! You have the PERFECT little model now don't ya? She is just adorable...

I don't have a little girl anymore, mine is now 16... don't think she is gonna let me try these out on her at this point and i am a little sad about that... she would look so cute... :-)

I am sure your little girl is the envy of many... Enjoy your day!

chasity said...

Mrsblogalot said...

Happy SITS day!!! Love those hair styles!

Very cute. I have a son and I don't think he'd appreciate me trying this on him (nor would my husband), but when I have a girl...she's in so much trouble! Hahaha!

Happy SITS Day!

Happy SITS day! What a beautiful girl and her hair is also beautiful!!

Happy SITS Day!

Maggi said...

Congrats on being the FB! I can't wait till Toot has enough hair to do cute styles with! Enjoy your day!

Aging Mommy said...

Happy SITS day! Your site is wonderful, something different and the styles are lovely. I wish I was as creative, my daughter has curly, wispy hair that gets all tangled and knotted but won't let me touch it so the best we usually manage is some hair clips and I wish I could find some inexpensive but nice ones.

Have a wonderful day and enjoy being Queen of SITS!

ham1299 said...

WOW! You are talented! I WISH I could do this with my girls! I might have to give it a try. Happy SITS day!

Kara @ His, Hers and Ours said...

So precious! I can't wait for my daughter's hair to grow out, so I can try these with her!! Hopefully she will be as cooperative as your girls!!

Happy SITS day!!

el vigilante said...

Awww. Unfortunately, I had two boys and never got to play with a daughter's hair. What a cutie there. And I love your hair styles. So cool. Happy SITS day!

Alianna said...

This is completely awesome!! Now I have a few ideas to do with my newly shortened hair. Thanks!

Happy SITS Day!

Jenny said...

Happy SITS day. Wow. These hairstyles are incredible. I'm sending this link to my daughter-in-law. I can barely master a side part with bangs. My daughters are probably still traumatized by my attempts at pigtales!

Karin said...

Happy SITS Day! These hairstyles are beautiful! It makes me sad that I only have a boy, you can't create those 'dos on short hair!

Emma said...

Wow. I'm impressed! I loved having my mom braid my hair when I was little. I look forward to attempting to do the same for my girl(s) someday!

Nicole Renee said...

Love your hairstyles, happy sits day to you!

Jamie~ said...

Yay! I'm so, so, so happy I found you (through SITS, of course).

I have two girls who both love have their hair done, most of the time. The oldest one feels like she's getting a little too old for all the hairbows and froo-froos, so maybe I do this instead. Thankfully, the little one still wants to be a princess as much as possible.

I'm a follower now and happy SITS day!

jeanne @ Inspiring Ideas said...

Now, if only my daughter hadn't inherited my thin, slow-growing fly-away blond locks maybe I could be doing some of these darling doo's of yours! :-)

thatgirlblogs said...

happy SITS -- I love the twist braid...

Sonora said...

I'm visiting from SITS and am thrilled I found your site. I have two girls and I am forever trying to figure out how to fix their hair. This is great!

Carla said...

Happy Sits-day!! What a pretty model:) I'll be passing this blog on to a couple of friends of mine, with pretty models of their own:)

Kris said...

Happy Sits Day!

Love your hair ideas.

how do you get her to hold still for you to do it though? My daughters act like the mere act of brushing/combing their hair is torture.

Heidi Walker said...

Happy SITS day.

You make it look so easy!

Now I need a little girl to do her hair. I think I know just the one too.

Thanks!!

Jenny said...

Happy SITS Day! Very creative hairstyle!

Love your blog!

Romy said...

How Fun and Girly! Happy SITS Day!

Date Girl said...

Cute hairstyle! I could never be that patient, your little one is amazing for sitting still for so long! Maybe when I have a little girl she will be that patient. If it were me, I'd be getting fussy. ;-)

Happy Sits day!

mrs. parker said...

so cute! And it looks like something i could actually do !! I'm getting some of those little elastics on my next trip to Walmart!!

Kim said...

This is so cute. I feel silly for never having thought of a twist braid before.

Allison's Randomness said...

reminds me of my childhood! i was my moms model for her hair creations. cant wait to hve one of my own one day...i love all the fun styles you have!

Krystal said...

This is so cute! I used to do something very similar to my little sister's hair, going back instead of to the side. I can't wait to have little girls (my little boy just wouldn't appreciate styles like this lol).

Lita C. Malicdem said...

Awesome creation! I miss my daughters' childhood days. I loved their long hairs but I just did simple pig tails on them. Ribbons, yes! Happy SITS Day!

Lisa said...

They both have such a beautiful hair! I love all of the fun hairstyles you have for them :-)

porcelaine said...

Wow, these are amazing. I could never encourage my daughter to cooperate when she was younger. But I'm so glad you've had better luck. Keep up the good work!

Aisyah Helga said...

Just to let you know that I've linked this tutorial to my blog. Thanks!
