60 Adorable Braid Hairstyles For Your Kids
French Braid
The French Braid is a classic haircut for kids. It works for any length and texture. All you will need is a hair tie and a comb. You can always adorn and accessorize the braid with bows, beads, and pins.
To get this cute haircut, you should brush your hair to eliminate any knots and divide the hair on the top into three sections first. Then, gradually start adding hair to each section, one section at a time. Repeat the same process for as long as you wish, and then secure it all with a hair tie.
Fishtail Braid
A fishtail braid is an effortless and pretty haircut for kids. You can embellish it with ribbons and flowers.
It’s an effortless braid; all you have to do is divide the hair into two sections. Then take a thin strand of hair from each section and tuck it into the other. Keep repeating this process and tightening the braid as you proceed.
Braid Crown
We all have to admit it; braid crowns are the cutest and prettiest braid hairstyles. Kids look adorable in these. They are not even exaggerating!
Knotted Braids
A knotted braid acts as a protective hairstyle and a whole damn look. There can be a zillion variations to this hairstyle with buns, doubles, ribbons, beads, scrunchies, etc. When accessorized right, these braids work their magic differently!
Braid Buns
Braid buns are made at the end of literally any braid. You need to braid the hair in the way you want and secure it with bobby pins and hair ties at the end, creating a bun. This look can get as straightforward or as complex as you wish it to be.
Pull-through braid
A pull-through braid is an excellent way to spice up a regular ponytail. It’s such a glamorous way to keep all that hair off your little one’s face. You might need many thin elastic bands, a rat tail comb, and some bobby pins.
Upside Braided Bows
Words can’t define how cute this hairstyle is! Effortless, pretty, and adorable. You need to decide the hair into two sections, do a braid starting from the nape on one side, from down to up, secure it with a hair tie, and make a simple bow out of the rest of the hair. Repeat on the other side.
Rope Braid
The rope braid is one of the easiest, quickest, yet gorgeous of all the braids. It doesn’t demand much time and effort.

At last, secure it with a hair tie.
Slide-up Braids
This look is so much easier than it appears to be. For this look, you have to do a middle parting, divide it into four equal, work from right to left, and leave to right with all the respective four strands.
