I am working with Eva NYC on this beauty series but all thoughts and photography are my own.

Girl Hairstyles 3 Ways- As a mom, having a little girl means you get to dress her up, play with her hair and paint her nails, right? Our daughter is a very independent little woman who likes to do things her way, including her hair. For five years she has had her hair cut right above her shoulders but in the past few months has wanted to grow out her blunt bangs. She typically chooses to wear her hair down straight with a bow to pin back her bangs but I’ve convinced her that I can do some pretty quick and painless hairstyles. Quick being the key term.

3 Easy Girl Hairstyles

For my daughter’s hair, because it is thick but fine, I like to have her hair clean when I style it. We typically wash her hair every other day. I’ll wash it, spray a little Eva NYC Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer before brushing and blow-drying.

Waterfall Half Up

The first hairstyle is her favorite because she loves having some of her hair down and having her hair be asymmetrical. She’s always asking for me to do something to one side but not the other.

Pull back half of one side and clip it while you do a fake braid (waterfall braid) on the other side. Pull together with an elastic.

Braided Pigtails

This style is my favorite on her. It stays together best throughout the day despite lots of twirling and floor work during dancing. Part hair down the middle in two sections as you would for pigtails. Do a dutch french braid down to the nape of her neck and do a loop with the pigtail. The EVA NYC 10-1 Primer is so helpful with this one because it helps with the tangles.

When I first started this hairstyle my daughter would get frustrated with me pulling her hair while trying to braid, even once I’d already brushed it. Now it’s much easier to work with. Infused with Argan Oil and Sunflower Seed Oil to give her hair its daily dose of vitamins and nutrients, this multitasking formula does it all: detangles, reduces frizz, strengthens, softens, cuts drying time, adds shine, nourishes, smooths, and protects against thermal and UV damage. The reason I feel it’s safe to use on my daughter’s hair as well as my own is that it’s free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, sodium chloride, and artificial colors. EVA NYC never tests on animals either.

3 Topsy

The 3 Topsy is the easiest and stays super secure throughout the day as well. This one is nice because it takes virtually no skill! Take a small section of hair from the front and tie it in an elastic. Topsy-tail the small ponytail and continue in a row twice more.

Our other favorite way to finish off her hairstyle is to spray a little EVA NYC Kween Glitter Spray. It is the perfect amount of tiny glitter to really make her feel special and get lots of compliments when we go out. It doesn’t make her hair feel stiff and it washes out super easy. She likes to wear it best with crimpy hair after sleeping in braids overnight or in a ballerina bun. Feel free to shoot me any questions on how to do these hairstyles or the products I use on our daughter’s hair.
