5 Cute Princess Hairstyles

Author and illustrator Sharee Miller’s self-affirming picture book celebrates all shapes, textures, and styles of black hair while showing how dyeing it only alters the aesthetics of one’s look.

L for Princess chose a timeless yet glamorous princess style: half-up hair that was both romantic and delicate, which can easily be tailored to fit the occasion.

Half-Up Ponytail

Half-up ponytails are an elegant way to show off a length while adding romantic details in the back. Barrettes or ribbons can create an eye-catching traditional look, or simply adding in curls will help make your hair appear fuller and denser.

Use face-framing braids to unleash your inner Princess by adding them to a ponytail. This style makes a perfect statement at formal events and dances; add extra drama with glitter or some glam spray for added effect!

Emory Cooler will undoubtedly turn heads at any school dance or special occasion with her adorable look, and she is sure to turn heads at any USA National Jr. Princess competitions she attends and competes in. Emory always looks radiant in her gowns and accessories!

This adorable ponytail style is quick and simple to achieve! Gather the top section of your hair into a tiny pony, secure it with bobby pins, and top off the look with a pretty bow for an adorable finish.

Pin Curl Set

Snow White’s timeless pin curl set is one of the most iconic princess styles. This hairdo was worn by everyday women in the ’20s and ’30s and can easily be recreated using clip-in extensions on natural hair.

Start with freshly cleansed and dried hair (preferred), saturate each strand with a curl setting lotion or heat protectant such as Lottabody Refine Me Curl Defining Mousse and use a fine tooth comb to divide into 14-1″ sections for separation (more giant cells will produce softer curls).

Next, hold each section by the tip of your index finger and wrap it around it, rolling inward toward your scalp, and secure with a double-prong clip (double-prong clips are recommended as they hold more hair). Repeat this process on all your strands until you achieve an even pin curl set. Let the curls air naturally or sit under a hood dryer with a diffuser attachment to speed up drying time before spraying with hairspray to complete your look.

Crown Braid

Crown braids are an adorable princess hairstyle that will show everyone who’s boss. Wear this look for any formal event or a casual brunch date with friends!

For this look, texture spray is essential – giving hair some hold and grip while giving braids some volume and hiding any visible bobby pins. Pancake braids to give more importance or disguise any that might show.

To achieve this look, begin with a slanted side parting and weave your top section of hair into a French or regular three-strand braid. Divide any remaining hair into three separate sections – two sides and a front-to-crown section that you will weave into a Dutch fishtail braid for crown formation at the back of your head.

Clip the crown braids securely with hair pins for an updo look. Pull out some loose tendrils from behind your face for an irresistibly romantic vibe, and finish off this romantic ensemble.

Bohemian Braid

Princesses who prefer natural, sun-kissed looks will adore this bohemian braid hairstyle. It is ideal for women with medium to thick textured locks and any face shape, and it works for weddings or brunch gatherings.

Maintaining fresh and tame bohemian braids requires using a leave-in conditioner or regular detangling spray to keep strands moisturized, preventing tangles, knots, build-up, and itchy scalps.

Heavy products may sometimes weigh down your braids, leaving them limp and greasy. Instead, opt for lightweight water-based products explicitly designed for braids; bohemian braids make an eye-catching statement, and you can find many choices at beauty stores and online.
