Ready for baby girl hairstyles that are simple, gentle, and actually doable?
These styles are perfect for everyday wear, photos, outings, or just keeping little wisps out of her eyes while she plays. From tiny ponytails to simple clips and bows, these ideas prove that a little effort goes a long way when it comes to baby girl hair.
Let’s dive in!
1. Double Mini Top Pony With a Center Part
This style is a go-to when you want something polished but still playful. It works especially well for fine hair and looks adorable from every angle.
Create a soft center part, then take a small section of hair on each side of the part, near the crown of the head. Keep the sections small so they’re easy to secure.
Use soft, snag-free baby elastics to make two tiny ponytails. Don’t pull too tight. This keeps it comfortable and gentle on baby hair. Place a small bow or flower clip just above or next to each ponytail for decoration and extra hold.
2. Mini Space Buns
This is one of those styles that instantly makes babies look extra fun and expressive. Mini space buns are perfect when there’s just enough hair to twist and secure, and they keep hair fully out of the face. Bonus: they stay put surprisingly well for busy little movers.
3. Side Sweep
Sometimes the simplest styles are the cutest. A side sweep works beautifully for babies with wispy or uneven hair growth and takes seconds to do. Add a tiny clip if needed, or leave it natural for that effortless baby look.
4. Criss-Cross Mini Pony Style With Two Low Twisted Pigtails
This style looks more detailed than it actually is, which makes it perfect for special occasions or photos. It keeps hair secure while still feeling soft and baby-appropriate.
Create two small top ponytails, and criss-cross the ponytails. Gather each crossed strand together with hair from the lower section on that same side and secure into two low ponytails near the nape. Twist each low ponytail into a small bun and finish with bows or clips.
5. Clipped Bangs
Use a snap clip or bow clip to hold back a few strands on each side of baby’s head.
Clipped bangs are great for babies whose hair is starting to fall into their eyes. It’s an easy way to tidy things up while still keeping that soft baby look.
6. Space Bun Hearts
If you’re feeling a little extra, this heart-shaped version of space buns is such a sweet option. It’s especially cute for holidays, Valentine’s Day, or milestone photos when you want something memorable but still gentle on baby hair.
7. Single Braided Top Ponytail
This is a great beginner braid style and works well once baby has just a bit more length to play with.
The hair is gathered into one small ponytail at the crown of the head, then braided straight down from the elastic. The braid is secured into a second tiny ponytail at the base, keeping everything neat and contained. It’s a simple style that adds interest and texture without needing a lot of hair or length.
8. Bow Accent Look
When in doubt, add a bow. This look works with any amount of hair and instantly elevates even the simplest outfit.
9. Four Sprouts
This playful style is perfect for babies with hair growing in all directions. The four little “sprouts” add instant personality and are super quick to do with elastics, making them ideal for everyday wear.
10. Single Bun
A single bun is simple, classic, and surprisingly versatile. Placing it near the back keeps it comfy for car seats and strollers while still looking neat and put together.
11. Head Band
Headbands are a lifesaver during the early hair stages. They add instant style without pulling or fussing, and they’re easy to swap out to match any outfit.
12. Mini Pigtails
Mini pigtails are a classic baby hairstyle for a reason. They’re cute, practical, and work even when there’s barely enough hair for elastics.
13. Tiny Top Ponytail
This is often the very first ponytail babies get. It’s quick, gentle, and perfect for keeping hair out of her face without needing much length at all.
14. Soft Headband Style
This style keeps things simple while still looking styled. Soft fabric headbands are comfortable for all-day wear and work beautifully with natural baby hair texture.
15. Side Part With Clips
Create a soft part for a slightly styled but effortless look. This style adds just enough structure without feeling too “done.” It’s perfect for outings, photos, or anytime you want a polished but relaxed vibe.
Wrapping Up
No matter how much (or how little) hair your little one has, there’s a style here that will work for this stage. The key is keeping things gentle, comfortable, and fun. Save your favorites, mix them into your routine, and remember that baby girl hairstyles don’t need to be perfect to be adorable. 💕
