Father in need of simple hairstyles for 4 year old girl.

[IrateMastermind]

My wife had to leave in a hurry about a week ago. She didnt have time to teach me to do her hair. I have 5 more weeks before she comes back.
Everything is cool except for the hair

Both of her grandmothers are in a different state. Can anyone recommend some easy hairstyles that are appropriate for a 4 year old AA girl? My braiding needs work but I can do it. It just takes a long... very long time. I can do two french braids in about 20 mintues to give you an idea.

I've been pulling her hair back in a ponytail or if i'm feeling adventurous, I'll do two afro puffs.

All I've been able to find with google searches are braids.
I pride myself on being able to learn anything and this past week my daughter has been looking . I can't have that. Any help would be appreciated. Unbraided hairstyles would be best but i'm willing to practice braiding.

I have some quick styles but I'm trying to find pics since I suck at describing. If all else fails, take her to a salon. Get a simple braided style with no hair added and that should last you for at least 2 weeks. Pay no more than $25.

If your daughter is natural use these (banana clips).

For a ponytail.

Just wet hair and spread Shea or cocoa butter to lay down fly aways.

No shade, but you have to assume his daughter has that much hair. She's 4. I know my bald head little baby didn't at that age. She had no hang time on her cornrows at all.

How about wash and go?

Just use Aphogee Curlific 2-steps (cleanser and leave-in).

I think you just answered my next question. Flyaways are the loose hairs that don't start down I assume. Near her forehead mostly.

Thanks for all the help. I feel like I have something to work with. Google searches lead to nothing.

Im in the same boat bro. Father of a 4 year old, I can't braid and she won't sit still long enough for me to even try. Naturally curly hair so usually i do the moisturize and go. Google sucks. I would use Curlynikki. That website has been a huge help for me.

Thanks. I don't know why it's so hard to find good websites for black hair. You can search for and find anything no matter how obscure but black hair websites are still a mystery to search engines.
