Not all hairstyles can work on toddlers thanks to their fine hair, and lack of hair! I can’t tell you how many times I tried elaborate hairstyles, only to watch my daughter rip out all of my hard work in an instant! If you’ve ever relented to just letting your toddler go out with bed head, this article is for you!
Toddler Hair is Challenging
This is the statement you need to repeat over and over! Toddler hair is challenging, but not impossible! Here’s the good news, we don’t expect anyone to become a beautician overnight and know how to create elaborate hairstyles! Toddler hair is harder simply due to how little hair you have to work with. Braids are adorable, but not all toddlers have enough hair to do a braid. So what can you do? Here are some of our favorites toddler hairstyles to try out:

Hats and Beanies
Alright, there are days when you just can’t get that toddler hair to do what you want. If you’ve spent a ton of time making cute braids, but your toddler has been screaming the entire time, you’re probably wondering if it’s even worth doing their hair! Hey, we have all been there! That’s why hats and beanies are always a great fashion choice for toddlers. Winter months make it easy to pair up hats to keep them warmer, but have a cool stylish edge.
