Original Post Images That Show the Style Best
What You Need Before You Start
This hairstyle does not need much. A few basics are enough to build clean little pigtails and help the tiny buns stay put.
- Parting comb or fine-tooth comb
- Small elastics for each pigtail
- Bobby pins if the buns need extra support
- Light finishing spray
- A little smoothing cream or leave-in if flyaways are a problem
How to Create Pigtails and Messy Buns
The original page says the style is pigtails with a messy bun finish. This rewritten version keeps that exact direction and breaks it into easy steps parents can follow at home.
- 1Brush and divide the hairStart with smooth hair and create a clean center part. A neat part line makes even a very simple style look more polished.
- 2Make two balanced pigtailsGather one section on each side and secure with small elastics. Place them high enough to be seen clearly but not so high that they pull.
- 3Twist each pigtail looselyTake each small ponytail and twist it just enough to guide it into a bun shape without making it too tight.
- 4Wrap into tiny bunsRoll the pigtails around themselves so each side becomes a little messy bun. The goal is soft and playful, not perfect and stiff.
- 5Secure each sideUse the original elastic, a second elastic, or one or two pins if needed. Fine toddler hair often needs just a little extra hold.
- 6Finish with light softnessGently pull a little fullness into the buns and use a small amount of spray. You want them to hold without looking crunchy.
Easy Ways to Change the Look
Once the base shape is in place, this hairstyle can lean more casual or more dressed up depending on how you finish it.
How to Help the Style Last Longer
| Problem | Best fix | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Flyaways at the part | Use a tiny bit of smoothing cream | Keeps the top cleaner without making the hair heavy or greasy. |
| Buns falling loose | Add one pin or second elastic | Small buns do not need much, but an extra anchor can make a big difference. |
| Pigtails look uneven | Check the part before tying | Most of the finished look depends on getting the sections balanced first. |
| Hair slips out fast | Tighten the base slightly | The pigtail base needs to hold before the bun shape can stay secure. |
