12 Cute Pigtail Hairstyles for Little Girls
By Elizabeth Tosanwunmi · Published March 20, 2024

One of the very popular hairstyles that ruled our childhood days as little girlies was the good ol’ pigtails. Hair vertically parted into two, each part well oiled, brushed, and packed with rubber bands …. and we were ready to take on the world! Oh, the excitement and sheer joy from having your hair done as a kid.

The beautiful thing about the hair community is that many hairstyles from our childhood don’t die off; they continue to remain trendy for generations on end. As an adult who may now have a girl child in your care, it’s time to bring back the nostalgia and create this hairstyle for her.

To do this hairstyle, you’ll most definitely need out-of-this-world rubber bands like the GOSICUKA Black Hair Ties, hair moisturizer like The Mane Choice Sweet Strawberry Fruit Medley KIDS Moisturizer, a hairbrush to sleek down the hair, and hair accessories for adornment.

Now, without further ado, let’s dig into 12 cute pigtail hairstyles that your little girl will love:

1. TWO-STRAND TWISTS PIGTAILS

The other middle to lower part of the hair is divided into two parts, and each part is woven in two-strand twists and tied together with the front part of the hair with pink hair bobbles.

2. CORNROW PIGTAILS WITH HAIR BEADS
