There are basically two types of parents when it comes to styling children's hair. There are those parents that are really serious about their child's hairstyle and know exactly how they want the haircut to go down to the very last strand and then there are those who want it short and simple. Luckily the latter is usually more in number because most parents understand that kids need simple hairstyles.

When it comes to your kids' hairstyle you should really consider getting a simple, but stylish one. They need simple, easy-to-manage hairstyles for a couple of reasons. Most busy moms don’t have time for high maintenance young girls' hairstyles, but still want their children to look neat and presentable. Kids younger than 12 years old usually do not need very stylish, complicated hairstyles, they're are more socially aware of trends and want to become more integrated after that age. Also, young girls are active, hairstyles that are kept simple and easy to manage are the best choice since they'll will get their hair dirty and all tangled up.

For little girls who don’t mind cutting their hair, shorter hairstyles can be chic and practical. These are the best choice for very active girls because it is less likely to get tangled up and is easier to clean and manage. Since this is a short hairstyle it is easy to maintain and works as an instant result for girls with fine hair.

Kids need simple hairstyles for a couple of reasons. First, they are children and they are not at an age where outer appearance has as much effect and when it does come to that point, trust me parents, you will have lost any say in how they dress or style their hair. Second, because most kids are really active, hairstyles that are simple are easy to style and manage are a better choice since most kids will ruin their hairstyles anyways. Kids also get their hair dirty or tangled up, so keeping their hairstyle simple will really allow them to be naturally playful without worries. Did I mention less work for you as well, parents.

Now what kind of simple hairstyles are there for your children? Well, for boys there are a couple of easy to manage hairstyles that are clean cut and still produce excellent looking young men. For ladies, it is more complicated because most moms desire long hair for their young girls to allow for cute looks but do not want to manage it frequently. There are a few options here as well for cute, simple looks.

For young boys, the best haircuts are the short ones and the comb downs. Short hairstyles like spikes and crew cuts are great for young boys who like to run head first into everything. The haircut is short and simple allowing them to be active without any mess. Comb downs are also a good hairstyle for young boys. The look provides a different style from shorter cuts yet is still easy to style and manage. For young boys not as active the latter is probably a better choice.

As for young girls the best simple hairstyles include the medium length cut that goes slightly above the shoulders. This look provides a cute look that still can be tied back or up for different looks. The hair is short enough as to not tangle or get caught in things as often. The hair is shorter and easy to clean and produce cute stylish looks. A prime example is young starlet Dakota Fanning who has this particular hairstyle on several occasions.
