Four popular braided hairstyles for kids:
Cornrows
Cornrows are a well-known protective style ideal for kids with African hair textures. The name ‘cornrows’ originates from the braids’ resemblance to rows of corn on the cob. This style involves three-strand braids, closely woven to the scalp using an underhand, upward motion to create a continuous, raised row.
Micro braids
Micro braids add a touch of sophistication to kids’ hairstyles. As a smaller version of box braids, micro braids are a protective hairstyle that can last up to eight weeks. They come in various styles, including ponytails, buns, and curls, and are also known as tiny braids or small braids.
Braided buns
A braided bun is a chic hairstyle suitable for kids with medium to long hair. To create this look:
– Separate the hair into three vertical sections.
– Tie each section near the nape of the neck with a ponytail holder.
– Loosely braid each section in a classic three-strand braid.
Beaded braids
Beaded braids are perfect for special occasions or cultural events. This stylish look features braids adorned with beads or cowry shells, adding a beautiful, eye-catching touch to kids’ hairstyles.
