More reasons why I will be discussing Nigerian children hairstyles is because the states of our children’s hair can sometimes explain how well the woman of the house does her job.
It is important to make the beautiful gifts God has given us happy, and one of the best ways to do that is by making them look good and more beautiful.
But how can children look good if proper attention is not given to their hair?
You don’t need to stress yourself before getting an idea on something stylish and trendy for your girl child as I will be taking you through series of beautiful hairstyles to style your baby girl.
Nigerian Children Hairstyles Pictures
So, let’s talk about Nigerian babies hairstyles.
Styling of hair is as important as other aspects of caring for our body. Talk about fashion styles in Nigeria, and you’ll agree with me that children hairstyles can’t be left out.
No matter how much you care for the body, you will still look unkempt or shabby if you neglect the hair.
This emphasizes the importance, hair styling is not just for adults but also for children. Nigerian children hairstyles does not have to be complex to be beautiful.
Sometimes the style could be dependent on your choice or your child’s patience, but simple hairstyles can also bring out the elegance in your girl child.
This could be in form of well arranged corn rows, use of wool, thread or even simple braids with or without extensions as you can see in our list of trending Nigerian hairstyles.
Children sometimes don’t really care about their hairdo until when they see it on their friends especially when it is well beaded.
Even at that, some still don’t care. Just that most mothers put in all effort to make their baby’s hair more beautiful even when they are not cooperating.
Some men even take it personal with the stylist or the mother when they see a baby cry and cry during the process of making the hair, but come see them when the hair is done.
They fling their head here and there just to make a show off of their new hairdo.
Childrens Hairstyles for School In Nigeria
Weekly, most schools call hairstyles so students can strike balance and not adapt to public trends of hairstyle.
All thanks to this standard, at least our cultural heritage with respect to hair is conserved.
Some of these hairstyles include:
Koroba Hairstyle
Koroba is usually called a basket style in English as the hair is weaved downwards from the middle, giving the shape of a basket turned downwards.
Koroba from time is a unique hairstyle and it brings to mind the age long tradition. This hair style clearly shows the scalp and it allows free access to air.

Why?
Because it is fast and easy to make. It can also be made as a zig zag.
Two Steps
This is another nice Nigerian children hairstyle as all the hair is weaved into two layers meaning one layer will be above the other.
All that needs to be done here is for the whole hair to be divided into two in the middle with each section weaved as all back or as shuku.
This can be preferable to all back because it elevate the hair rather than the all round smooth interface of the all back.
Patewo

I’m sure the picture below describes it better.
