You can never go wrong with a ponytail
If You are not the best at hairstyling, a ponytail is always a great option. It is when You pull the hair back into a ponytail, it is pretty self-explanatory. You just have to gather the hair that You want to be gathered in a ponytail, brush the hair through so that it looks neat and slicked back and You use a hair tie to tie it all together.
A ponytail is the best and the easiest hairstyle to make on a toddler girl.
Although this is a pretty simple hairstyle, there are plenty of variations to it. For example, You can leave out a strand of hair and then tie it around the hair tie and tuck it into the ponytail. This creates the illusion that the hair is tied by itself when in fact there is a hair tie hiding under the strand of hair. You just need to make sure that You secure the strand with a pin or another see-through plastic hair tie.
This is very simple hairstyling for toddler girls but still very effective, creative, and nice. You can match this hairstyle to different outfits and styles for various important events as it is pretty universal. It will also keep the hair away from the face making this a perfect hairstyle for children’s birthday parties.
Spice it up
You can spice this simple hairstyle up by simply either straightening or curling your toddler’s hair. When doing such a thing, You have to make sure that You use heat-protection hair products before You apply heat to Your toddler’s hair. The heat can damage the hair since it is very light and thin most of the time. If applying heat, make sure that the temperature is set to low. You don’t need a lot of heat to create curls or straighten hair that is thin. You might end up damaging it a lot which can result in having to cut your toddler’s hair.
Take care of Your toddler’s hair no matter which hairstyle You are making.
You don’t even need to apply heat if You want to curl Your toddler’s hair. Use a sock, shirt, or any fabric. You just need to wrap a couple of strands o hair around a sock or any piece of fabric and tie it in place. Leave it overnight. When You take out the fabric from the hair it will leave behind a beautiful curl.
Just make sure You tie them all in the same direction so that the hair looks much nicer. Randomly wrapping the strands won’t give you the desired effect.

Experiment
