10 Fun and Easy Kids Hairdos That Make Every Day a Good Hair Day
At Snip-its, we know kids haircuts are more than just trims—they’re magical experiences! From silly songs to surprise prizes, every visit is filled with fun. But what about the in-between days? Whether your little one is headed to school, a birthday party, or a weekend outing, we’ve got you covered with 10 fun and easy kids hairdos that keep the smiles going long after their Snip-its visit.
- The Classic Ponytail with a Twist
A go-to for busy mornings, the classic ponytail becomes something special with a colorful twist. Add a scrunchie in their favorite color or wrap a small braid around the base for a polished finish.
Perfect For:
- School days
- Sports practice
- Quick morning routines
Snip-its Tip: Ask your stylist about tangle-free detangling spray during your next visit to make styling at home even easier.
- Mini Braided Crown
Braided crowns are sweet and stylish but don’t worry; you don’t need to be a pro! Create two small braids from each side of your child’s head and pin them at the back to form a mini crown.
Perfect For:
- Birthday parties
- Picture day
- Playdates with a little flair
Pro Parent Tip: Use soft, snag-free elastics to avoid tangles and tears.
- Top Knot with Character Clips
The top knot is not just for grown-ups! A high bun can be made even more fun with Snip-its character clips or themed barrettes your child picks themselves.
Perfect For:
- Weekend outings
- Dance class
- Playing dress-up at home
Bonus: Let your child choose their own accessories to help them feel confident and creative.
- Sporty Side Part (Great for Boys!)
A sharp side part with a little gel keeps hair tidy and cool. It’s a favorite of Curly Comb from The Snip-its Gang—perfect for active kids on the go.
Perfect For:
- School pictures
- Sports events
- Family dinners
Snip-its Tip: Try a soft, alcohol-free styling gel that keeps hair in place without making it stiff.
- Loose Waves with a Pop of Color
Loose, beachy waves can be created in minutes with a kid-safe heatless curling method (like soft braiding overnight). Add a clip-in color strand for extra fun—just like Jean Luc Le Spritz would recommend!
Perfect For:
- Special outings
- Creative school projects
- Family photos
Snip-its Style Secret: Ask about temporary hair color or clip-in strands at your next visit.
- Pigtail Braids
Simple and timeless, pigtail braids keep hair out of your child’s face and stay secure during a busy day of play.
Perfect For:
- School recess
- Park playdates
- Sleepovers
Styling Hack: Add colorful beads or ties at the ends for extra fun flair!
- Mohawk Fade or Fauxhawk
This trendy kid’s haircut can be styled up with a little product for a bold fauxhawk—or left down for a classic cut. Snips himself would totally approve!
Perfect For:
- Confident kiddos
- Creative expression
- School spirit days
Snip-its Tip: Our kid-focused stylists can recommend the right cut and styling method for your child’s hair texture.
- Space Buns
This playful style uses two top buns, either tight or fluffy, to add a little fun to your child’s look. It’s an intergalactic favorite and super cute for kids with longer hair.
Perfect For:
- Dress-up days
- Storytime at the library
- A day at Snip-its!
Quick Fix: Add glitter spray or star clips for a galactic glam finish.
- Slicked-Back Mini Pompadour
For kids who want to feel extra sharp, a mini pompadour adds personality without being too fussy. Flyer Joe Dryer would definitely wear this on his next adventure!
Perfect For:
- Formal events
- School concerts
- Dinner out with the family
Style Tip: Use a light pomade and a comb to keep the look neat—but not stiff.
- Headband Hero
When you’re in a rush, let accessories do the work. A colorful or themed headband pulls hair back while adding instant style.
Perfect For:
- Busy school mornings
- Travel days
- Easy at-home glam
