Go through this catalog. You’ll definitely find the perfect coiffure for your little girl here. You can either use a hair extension such as attachments, Brazilian wool, baby wool, etc.,  or stick with her natural hair. Whichever way, these styles will always look great on your daughter.

Here they are:

1. Butterfly Braids

Don’t think this style suits adult women alone. It also suits younger women. So, don’t hesitate to try it on your little girl.

To achieve it, your child’s hairstylist will have to pull a part of her extension as they braid her hair. This will result in small curves around each braid.

3. Ponytail

When I was a child, we used to call this packing gel when I was a child. I remember how my mom would take a pack of this extension we called telephone wire to the hairstylist. Then she would style my hair into an updo, make it lie flat with black gel, and attach the extension to it.

The style has evolved though. You can use any extension to achieve it ranging from attachment to straight weaves and Afro weaves. In addition, if your daughter’s forehead is well pronounced, this style will promote it.

Writing has always been a part of me. From writing stories as a young child to studying Communication Arts in the university, it has always been more than a medium of expression to me.

And then one day, I found myself toeing the path of an entrepreneur and becoming a fashion enthusiast. This made me develop an interest in content marketing and copywriting which I've been chasing alongside my fashion career.

That aside, when I'm not sharing style articles, selling with stories, or creating fashion-forward pieces for Ria Kosher, you'll find me telling wild stories that always come with a twist.
