- Braids are everywhere in Hollywood: on the red carpet, in movies and television, and even on celebrity children. You can braid your daughter's hair in the traditional way, straight down the back, or into braided pigtails. You can also add smaller braids into a normal half-up hairstyle or ponytail. Does your daughter have a few pieces of hair that are growing out and constantly falling in her face? Braid those and secure them with a bobby pin for a cute and convenient style.
- Ponytails are often an easy style for girls because they keep hair out of the way when they are playing. A cute, sassy take on this style is to pile the girl's hair on top of her head in a high ponytail or bun. You can curl the ends of the ponytail slightly, and even wrap a stand of hair around the base of the ponytail to hide the hair elastic and add something different to the look. If her hair is curly, create a loose bun with curly wisps falling out. Add sparkly pins and flowers around the base of the bun for an added effect.
- Another simple, elegant kid's hairstyle is to leave her hair down, only pulling back a small section of her hair with bobby pins. Allow her hair to hang down in loose waves, and then pull the sides of her hair or her bangs back with sparkly pins or hair clips. If your child's hair doesn't curl, you can leave her hair straight and simply blow dry or curl the ends under to make it look more polished.
- Children's bobs are popular because the style is short enough to stay out of her eyes, but it still looks chic and elegant. Ask the salon to cut it in the same fashion as Katie Holmes or her daughter, Suri Cruise, who have made the style fashionable. You can ask the stylist to cut wispy bangs, or leave the hair around her face as long as the sides. Place a little bow on the side of her hair, or use a headband for special occasions to dress up the style.
- Although there are fewer hairstyles for boys to choose from, you can still get creative with your son's hair. Boy styles that are shaggy and a little longer are becoming popular, and you will often see this style with some shorter, bang pieces on the forehead. Another popular look, if you are bold, is to cut your son's hair into a Mohawk, or the less extreme version, the "faux-hawk," leaving the hair long towards the middle of the hair so you can use gel to make it stand up like a Mohawk. You can also gel his hair and spike it a little bit for a more modern look that doesn't require a special haircut.
