We all want our girls to look polished for the holidays. But between the shopping and the cooking, the last thing we need is a struggle in front of the mirror.
I have always believed that a great hairstyle can be the “secret sauce” that makes a simple holiday outfit look complete. You do not need to be a professional stylist to achieve a look that sings.
Today I am sharing some ideas to help you style their hair with less effort and more confidence. Here are 50 pretty Christmas hairstyles for girls that look effortlessly chic.
1. Simple Rope Braids with Green Accent
I love how this look incorporates the green accent right into the rope braid itself. It creates such a seamless and unbeatable vibe.
The added colored ribbon is just the perfect finishing touch to signal that holiday spirit.
2. Cute French Braids for Kids
You can never go wrong with a classic French braid combo. This is such a fool proof choice for girls with brown or blonde hair because it is so easy to pull together.
If you are looking for a style that fits a tight budget and schedule, this is the one.
3. Bubble Braid and Scrunchie
We all know the struggle of needing a quick fix when we are pressed for time. This bubble braid is a total lifesaver for those busy mornings.
I think it looks absolutely fantastic on brown hair when paired with those green elastics and a scrunchie.
