Using a braiding technique to add interest to the hair is one way to emphasize its natural beauty. Starting with tiny sections of hair and braiding in a heart shape this takes a good deal of practice and skill but the results really do have the wow factor.

If hair needs to be held back from the face then clips or slides or hair bands could be used.

One top choice when you are looking for cute haircuts for little girls is a simple bob with bangs.

37. Sweet with Barrettes
Sweet shorter hair can easily fall in the face of a toddler girl, but not when it is contained with little barrettes. These barrettes can be the favorite color of the young girl or can even match her outfit, depending on the occasion.
This is a great short haircut for little girls who have thin hair and haven’t been able to grow it very long yet.
38. Centered Top Pony
A top pony is a fun and fresh take on the traditional ponytail, and centering it on the top of the head makes it even more special. Girls need to have really long hair for this style to easily work and for the ponytail to have movement and motion rather than just sticking straight up from the top of the head.
39. Pigtails with Long Bangs
Regular high pigtails look great on their own but are really special when they are paired with long bangs that are swept to the side. These bangs are a fun way to add a little volume to the little girl hairdo and to prevent the pigtails from being the main focus.
40. French Braided Pigtails with Bangs
Reverse French braids always look great, but they look especially fun and unique when they are done as pigtails.
This is perfect for girls who have thicker hair, as the French braids will really pop off of the head when there is plenty of hair to gather and to use. Shorter bangs can be left alone and don’t have to be pulled back into the braids.
41. Upside Down Braided Buns
High braided buns are a lot of fun, especially when they are a little looser and have volume, but they really look great when the hair is braided up the back of the head to them.
Doing so adds some more interest to the style and is a great way to capture any stray short hairs on the back of the head that may otherwise fall out of the pigtail buns.
42. Wavy Short Hair
Girls who have wavy hair can still enjoy a shorter cut, especially when they opt for one like this that will allow the natural movement of the hair to shine.
This little girl haircut is also a great way to style short hair for fancy events and looks attractive with clips or flowers pinned into the hair.
43. Bubbled Pigtails
Pigtails are a fun style anyway, but adding bumps and bubbles to them by using rubber bands to do so makes this style even more exciting.
The bright colors of the elastics really pop against darker hair, and most girls will love choosing the colors that they are going to wear in their hair, which makes this style even more exciting to plan and wear.
44. Long Braids in a Ponytail
Long braids look great when they are pulled into a top knot and then allowed to hang freely down the side or the back.
Using one braid to wrap around the top knot adds some volume to this hairstyle and helps to ensure that the hair will lift high above the head before it cascades down and around the shoulders.
45. Little Black Girl With Twists with Beads
Really skinny twists are perfectly finished when there are brightly colored beads added not only along their length but also at their ends.

47. Front Braided Crown
A braided crown across the front of the head is a wonderful way to gather up and hold short bangs tight and out of the way. The rest of the hair can be left hanging loose around the face and shoulders, allowing the braid to really shine and the full length of the hair to be enjoyed.
48. Afro Pigtail Updos
Full pigtail updos for black little girls that allow the hair to really pop from the head are fun and look great on any girl.

49. Circular French Braid to Bun
For little girls who have long hair, a circular French braid that circles the back of the head and ends up in a braided bun is an impressive look. This style is involved but is a wonderful updo that keeps hair contained and will be a showstopper for any fancy event.
50. Gorgeous Dreads
Long dreads look amazing, especially when they are accented with beads. Gold beads and gold wire wrapping around the dreads show their thickness and adds touches of bright color to the style.
Pulling the hair back from the face and into a half-up, half-down ponytail really showcases the design.
51. Cute Pigtails
When the hair is long and the regular high pony becomes a boring hair choice, the option of two ponys is quite a popular version among the girls. Just separate the hair in the middle and wrap it up in a pony. It is as simple as that!
52. Front Side Braids
The unfinished braids that blend into the letdown hair start at the very front. They are divided by a middle part and the braiding is done more to the side. The look is very fresh and elegant.
53. All Natural
For the girls who love wearing their hair long and let down, maintaining the natural look is not hard at all. It is important to do some layering so that the hair will fall nicely and fir the shape of the face.
54. Half Braids Wrapped in A Pony
This interesting hairstyle starts by separating the hair in a few parts. The top part should contain more hair, while the side part should have less hair. Each of the parts is braided in a suitable French braid. All of them, together, are unfinished and wrapped up in a long messy pony.
55. Short Bob with Side Bangs
This hairstyle is a very short version of an asymmetrical bob. The longest parts do not go over the ears and the entire hair is layered. The side part is dividing the hair and directing the flow of the hair as well as the bangs.
56. Spirally Locks
The long spirals might look boring for the little girl, so add a small braid on the front. Part the hair to the side, a braid only the front strands in the tiny braid. It should end hidden under the spirals.
57. Two French Braids
Instead on the regular one French braid, the combination of two is much more interesting and cute option for the little girls. For them to look identical and equal, part the hair exactly to the middle, with a clean and sharp part that goes from top to bottom. The braids come to parallel on each side of the part.
58. Thin Crown and A Bun
This sleek look involves two different hairstyles. First comes the thin braided crown that is not done immediately on the front, but a bit deeper on the head. The hair is pulled back in a bun. With one strand of the bun, create a braid and wrap it around the bun. For greater accent, add some flowers in the bun.
59. Reversed Crown
The beauty of this look is seen in its complexity. The reversed crown is done in a different way than the regular crown, and the skills of the one making it are put on quite a test. With this look, your little girl will be a center of attention.
60. Multi Braiding
Braiding the entire hair in non-equal parts is what defines this look. The braids on the top and around the center are bigger and thicker. Those on the sides are smaller and thinner.
61. Creative Side Pony
The new take on the side pony hairstyle is to involve some braids. So, to achieve this look, part the hair on the side in three equal parts. From each part make a long braid which will later come in the side pony. Comb the rest of the hair to the side, smoothly, and add the braids. Just above the ear, wrap up a pony.
62. Half Ponys
Separate the hair in for parts. Each part should cover an equal amount of hair and they should be positioned parallel. Wrap up a ponytail from each part. Take the end of each one, and fasten it in the hair band from the under. This will create a look of four loose half ponys.
63. Messy Top Pony
This is a regular and very common hairstyle that requires absolutely nothing more than a hairband. Pull up the hair in a high pony, without paying too much attention of the smoothness on the front. The messier it looks the better.
64. Twist Braided
When a twist and a braid come together in one hairstyle, the look can be nothing but captivating and interesting. The hair is parted in an upper and lower part. The upper part, as it falls down, makes a bow that together with the lower part continues in a twist.
65. Color and Creativity
Instead of doing two French braids, a more interesting look can be achieved with adding a colorful band on the long pony. With the finger make the space between each pony wider. The sides are braided in tiny braids that continue together with the ponytails.
There are a lot of choices for cute haircuts for little girls, and any of these styles and cuts are sure to make your little girl feel and look her best.
