Fix Little Girls' Hair for Pageants

Beauty pageants for little girls often include cash prizes, scholarships and other awards your child can use now or in the future. The contests cover a wide range of activities, including a talent portion and a question and answer session. Judges expect the girls to look their best, wear the best clothing and have an appropriate hairstyle. When you're styling hair for a little girls' pageant, opt for an updo style. This classic style works for girls with fine hair, as well as those with coarse or thick hair.

Instructions

1. Wash the girl's hair with hydrating shampoo, running your fingers through her hair and then rinsing it out with fresh water. Apply a matching conditioner and let it sit in her hair for three to five minutes. Rinse out her hair with fresh water and squeeze out the excess water.

2. Rub a dime size dollop of detangling product to her hair and rub it through her hair with your hands. Use a wide-tooth comb to evenly disperse the product through her hair, from the roots to the ends. Apply a dime size dollop of mousse to her hair, using your hands to work it through her hair. Comb through her hair and let it air dry.

3. Comb her hair back into a ponytail, holding the hair in one hand. Coil the hair slightly in your hand and then twist it to one side. Wrap the hair around in a knot, twisting the ends of the hair behind the top of the hair. Secure the updo in place with bobby pins.

4. Use the comb to gently separate a few tendrils or locks of hair from the front of her head. Set the curling iron on a low setting and gently curl those locks of hair into small curls. Apply a thin misting of hairspray all over the head, including on the curled areas.

5. Add a small ribbon to the hair, pushing it through the updo. Pull on the ribbon until both sides are even. Twist the ribbon around with your fingers, to give it a little curl and add more decoration to the pageant hairstyle. Add multiple pieces of ribbon, if you want more decoration.
