For the girls who read us we have a series of proposals of hairstyles for girls that you will love, both for all the days of school, as for more formal events such as birthdays of friends and classmates, communions, among others.
One of the hair modalities that are most attractive for girls are braids. Thanks to their variety and versatility, hairstyles with braids for girls become the best options for mothers with a hectic schedule or for more independent little ones.
these types of arrangements work for all styles and occasions.
Braids
Hairstyles with braids in general, can be done with short or long hair. The great variety of hairstyles made with braids gives us the possibility of combining them with any outfit, giving a feminine touch to our look.
Hairstyles with braids for girls are arrangements that never go out of style, daily they are reinvented and adapted to new trends and renewed styles. In addition, they are usually very comfortable hairstyles to wear, especially when the hair is not as clean as it should be.
Before introducing you to the different hairstyles for girls designed with braids, it is necessary that you know the types of braid that exist and how to make them. Once you have mastered the execution of these variants, it will be easier for you to build hairstyles that contain up to three different types of braids.
Types of braids
French braid (normal)
This is the typical braid that we learned as the first, in which we divide the hair into three strands and we braid them, taking the strands from the outside in.
Inverted French braid
The mechanism used is the same as the previous one, although instead of carrying the strands inwards, it combs upside down, the strands go from the inside out.
Dutch braid
It is a thicker braid, which protrudes more in the hair, in which you can perform the processes explained above, but adding more hair every time we braid any of the strands. It can be done anywhere on the head and is very beautiful on the side and on the top in the form of a headband.
This last option is extremely comfortable for girls who wear short hair, since they can add more hair in each braid, achieving a beautiful collection.
Herringbone braid
This is one of the most modern and is usually used to achieve a fresh and youthful look. Even though some of us are afraid of it because it may seem complicated, it really is easy to do once we acquire the practice for it.
We only divide the hair or the section of hair where we are going to do it in two partitions. Then we take a strand from the outside of one of the partitions, to the inside of the other partition. We perform the same process with the other partition and so on.
The following types of braids have certain levels of complexity to be made by the little ones with their own hands, so they will surely need the help of their mothers or older sisters.
Waterfall braid:
It is one of the braids that visually look more harmonious. They are made following the same mechanism of a normal French braid, although leaving one of the strands loose, it is almost always the interior.
A variant of this hairstyle is the ladder braid, which is obtained when you make two waterfall braids, placing one on top of the other. Visually it gives the feeling of having a ladder in your hair. In the second braid you must use the loose strands that you left in the other and in that way the union with the first is built.
Carousel braid
In itself, this hairstyle is not just a braid, but it is a ponytail surrounded by a braid. The first step to perform this hairstyle is to make the ponytail, high or low, as you like.
Then, select a strand of the same tail and throw it little by little around the ponytail, adding hair from the ends of it.
Snake braid
For this hairstyle you simply have to make a normal French braid and at the end it is necessary to pull some of the partitions, in this way the rest of the braid is collected taking a shape similar to that of a snake.
Here are some of the types of braid you can use to build more elaborate but equally easy hairstyles for girls. They have the option of wearing some of these proposals or combining them with each other, elaborating hairstyles with much more complex braids.
Combing the little ones at ease
To comb the smallest of the house, it is necessary to take into account their tastes and interests, notice the comments when watching a television series or a magazine, in relation to the types of hairstyles. Likewise, hair-related care must be taken into account from an early age, since this guarantees healthy hair and care in the future.
With the aim of providing some hairstyle options for girls both for school or special occasions or more formal events, we present a series of proposals that fit all tastes, regardless of the length of the hair.
Picked with braids for girls
Braided bun
First of all you must make a high or low ponytail, depending on where you want to place the bun. Then you braid the tail in the way you like, using the tips we offer in this article depending on the type of braid. Finally we collect it in the form of a donut and secure it to the scalp with forks.
This hairstyle is perhaps the easiest and most classic of those collected, to which I recommend you give it a modern and youthful twist, because if it can not stay too sophisticated for someone so small. Although all this depends on the personal tastes of the girl and the characteristics of the place or event to which you must go.
To give that modern twist to the hairstyle: Before making the ponytail, we make a diadem braid. Then we perform the whole procedure explained in relation to the braided bun and voilà!, we have a very chic hairstyle, ideal for a baptism or a formal event of the school.
Diadema Braid
This option of the Diadema braid, can be combined with countless hairstyles, even some build them with handkerchiefs that are extremely beautiful if we combine them with the colors that our outfit has. It can be done from the combination of two separate braids or only one that starts from one of the sides of the hair.
These buns also look very feminine if before making the ponytail, we make a Dutch braid on one of the sides of the hair and add it to the bun. It also looks nice, although simpler and less sophisticated to leave the ponytail loose without doing anything else. It then becomes a hairstyle for school days.
Low bun with braids
First divide the hair into two partitions and make a normal French braid on each of these. Then you knot the two braids using a normal basic knot, which if you have long hair, you may have to make more than one knot. Finally we hold the bun with forks.
Another variant of this hairstyle is, instead of making a bun, to hold both braids with forks in a horizontal position, parallel or one on top of the other. This is a more classic hairstyle, for those more traditional girls in their way of behaving, as well as in dress.
Semi-collected with braids for girls
With the ideas of the previous hairstyles we could build semi-collected looser, with greater mobility for the hair and that usually give a more natural and youthful look, ideal for the smallest of the house.
Crest braid
First we divide the hair into three partitions. In the portion of hair that we left in the center we are going to make a Dutch braid or the one we like the most, although this is the one that best holds to the root of the hair. In this way visually there is a hairstyle with braid that imitates a crest, an ideal look for the most rocking girls.
Braid to the side
Only with a side braid, of any kind, and the rest of the loose hair, we have a very feminine and natural look, which can be done in both long and short hair. Remember to hold the end of the braid with a hairpin, trying to cover it with the rest of the hair.
This simple hairstyle looks extremely simple and natural, even looking like an accessory in the hair.
The waterfall braids look very beautiful as semi-collected, especially for longer hair, since visually they look more arranged.
Crown braid
Visually the finish of this hairstyle is similar to the headband type, although this is necessarily done with two braids. In a simple way we join the two braids with a rubber or several forks.
Although in itself, the proposals of hairstyles for girls with braids that we present in this article are quite simple. We also want to recommend a series of tips or tricks that you can use to comb your girls or teach them more easily the art of braids.
Tricks to perform hairstyles with braids:
- First of all and not only for hairstyles with braid, but also for all hairstyles or even to wear loose hair, do not forget to detangle your hair and brush it daily.
- Although for girls who have wavy or frizzy hair, experts in the world of hairdressing do not recommend brushing, as this usually increases the volume of the hair. In case they have a straighter hair, you can use a dry shampoo or a special spray that gives it body and texture. In this way the elaboration of hairstyles with braids is done more easily.
- In addition, using the right products, both for washing and general care of the hair, facilitates that at the time of combing it, the hair is more docile and fits the way you like it.
- It is important to divide the hair well in each of the braids, especially if you are going to make more than one, in such a way that they do not mix with each other and that visually it is properly arranged.
- You can use transparent rubbers or the well-known mini gummies so that they can be concealed more easily. You can apply a dry shampoo for the hairpins so that they do not slip on your hair.
- Use a hair-fixing spray at the end of each hairstyle, with the aim of achieving the longest duration of the arrangement.
