If you're planning on attending a wedding or your child is the guest of honor at a formal occasion (such as a talent show, first communion or baptism), you may be looking for ideas on ways to do her hair to reflect the formality of the occasion. Formal hairdos can be a bit difficult with children as they can often get restless during the process. If you keep it easy and fun, however, the hairstyles can be done quite easily.
Half-up and Half-down
Part her hair to one side (or simply gather it all back) and secure the front sides at the back of head with a clip or rubber band. You can opt to braid the hanging piece, twist it into a bun or simply leave it the way it is. With a curling iron, curl several sections of her hair (or you can opt to do this the night before by having her sleep on foam curlers). Spritz some hairspray on her hair to make sure the curls hold. If she is in a wedding, you may want to add a flower crown to her hair. You can also spruce up her hair with a headband or other headpieces.
Up with Curls
For an easy hair style to execute, place your child's hair into a high ponytail, securing it with a rubber band. Take a small section and braid it, then twist it around the rubber band, securing it with a bobby pin. Curl the hair in the ponytail with a curling iron. If she is extra wiggly, try and curl the hair with foam curlers the night before and have her sleep on them. When you take them out in the morning, her hair will be curly and ready to go.
French Braid
If your child loves braids, she may want you to put her hair in one or two French braids. Her braids can be embellished with small pieces of Baby's Breath (suitable for a wedding) or hair jewels (available at almost any beauty supply store). French braiding can be a bit challenging, however, so you may want to practice on an adult or a doll before trying it on your daughter. Use the tutorial found in Resources 1 for information on execute the French braid.
