The Reindeer Runway Braid is a sophisticated French braid that runs along the side of the head, ideal for children who prefer a more refined look. Enhance this style by weaving in a golden thread or adding miniature reindeer clips along the braid.
Practical Tip: To keep the braid tight and neat, apply a bit of L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray before starting the braid and after finishing it.
Gingerbread House Twists
Gingerbread House Twists are adorable, twisty buns placed on either side of the head, reminiscent of the puffy smoke coming out of a gingerbread house’s chimney. This cute style is best for young kids with hair that can be easily sectioned and twisted.
Practical Tip: Secure each twist with small, clear elastics and adorn the base of each bun with brown and white ribbons to enhance the gingerbread theme.

Mistletoe Magic Curls are vibrant ringlets that fall beautifully around the face and shoulders, paired with green mistletoe-inspired hair pins scattered throughout.
