7. Two Strand Twists

Two strand twists are very popular hairstyles amongst adults black women but also look great for kids and little girls. Two strands twists are very easy to do, take care of and can last as long as 2-4 weeks if taken good care of. We don’t recommend keeping two-strand twists for longer than 4 weeks because your child’s hair will start to tangle and lock. If you would like to add some style to two strand twists, consider adding flat twists in the front. You may twist the hair while damp or dry.

How To Do Kids Braids

The ‘how to do braids for kids‘ video below provides step-by-step instructions on how to braid girls / kids hair. Most little girls have enough natural hair to do braids without using hair extensions. However, if your girl has short hair you may use kids braiding hair extensions.

What types of braiding hair to use for kids braids? I would recommend the child’s natural hair to do the hair braiding. However, you her hair is too short and you’re absolutely have to use hair extensions, only use real human hair for your kids hair braiding.
