Braids for Short Hair

Unfortunately, when you have short hair, it seems as though there aren’t many options to go to when you want to rock a braided style for everyday use.

Lucky for you, we’ve compiled a list of 50 of the cutest braided hairstyles for short hair:

1. Short Braided Ponytail

If your hair is shoulder-length, you can still rock a cute braided ponytail. To make it appear longer, secure it lower down and with a neutral-colored hair tie for professionalism.

2. Short French Braid

Whether it’s one or two French braids you style with your short hair, both will look beautiful. For formal events, smooth fly-aways and frizz with hairspray or, on casual days, focus less on neatness.

3. Short Pigtail Braids

Two braids that begin at the temples stop just an inch or two before ends. This style is imperfectly put together but looks gorgeous nonetheless.

4. Short Braided Updo

This soft, romantic updo can be created with one or two braids. Simply wrap it over the head next to the hairline, securing with brown or black pins. You can accessorize with flowers to dress it up.

5. Braids for Little Girl with Short Hair

One of the best things about having a little girl or a niece is doing their hair! Spoil your favorite little one with two cute Dutch braids that will keep hair out of her face for those busy days on the playground.
