Pageant Hairstyles for Little Girls

To win a beauty pageant, a little girl needs to look the part from head to toe. Choose hairstyles that are pretty and feminine but still age-appropriate, to give a girl a leg up in any beauty competition.

Features

You want your little girl to have a hairstyle that's pretty and eye-catching but still attractive and age-appropriate. Many little girls will wear curls, whether natural or styled with rollers or curling irons.

Types

A little girl might wear an updo hairstyle, a partial updo or a style that hangs loose. You'll usually see longer hairstyles on pageant contestants.

Time Frame

A girl might need to sleep with rollers in her hair to get a long-lasting curl for the next day. Parents can curl hair with curling irons. Give yourself plenty of time for hairstyling. It can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 hour to style hair.

Considerations

Think before adding hair extensions for volume and length. Even clip-on extensions can be heavy and might be uncomfortable for young girls to wear.

Effects

Overall, a pageant hairstyle shouldn't make a girl look too mature for her age. It should be a pretty style, whether straight, wavy or curly, that's fancier than her everyday hairstyle.
