Colorful and fashionable: 5 children's hairstyles for June parties

In the month dedicated to June festivities, hair also comes into play as a fundamental part of styling. Between plaid dresses, bows, flags, colorful makeup, the arraiá atmosphere also calls for special hairstyles that are no longer just a detail and play an important role in the look.

From classics that cross generations to more modern versions that go viral on social media, there is room to play with creativity, using ribbons, braids, buns, elastics and different finishes.

The big secret is balancing aesthetics with practicality. To keep up with the gang and all the games, the hairstyle needs to be beautiful and, of course, comfortable, safe and easy to maintain. That's why the inspirations update traditional São João references with lighter, functional solutions for school events and family celebrations.

"It's one of the best occasions to bring creativity to children's hair. Braids remain a classic, but they can have colored ribbons, elastics, different divisions and more modern finishes. The important thing is to create a beautiful, comfortable and safe hairstyle that will accompany the child throughout the celebration", says Van Jesus, TRUSS Expert.

Check out five children's hairstyles below to make the party even more charming:

- Maria Chiquinha with colorful ribbons

The pigtail is one of the most traditional hairstyles for the June festival, but it can look much more current when combined with colorful ribbons. Instead of just opting for hair parted in the middle and tied on both sides, the idea is to finish with bows, satin ribbons or plaid details.

The result is playful, delicate and with that classic touch that immediately resonates with the Arraiá climate. "It's a hairstyle that works very well because it holds the strands, enhances the June look and also allows you to play with colors. The ribbons can follow the palette of the outfit or create a more fun contrast", explains Van.

- Double coconuts with a cool country mood

Double coconuts are perfect for those who want a fun, modern and attitude-filled look. They can appear on top of the head, well marked, or in a looser, more natural version, with a few free strands to make the finish lighter.

To bring the June touch, it's worth including checkered ribbons, colorful barrettes, mini bows or vibrant elastics around the buns. The hairstyle has a fashionable, almost festival-like aesthetic, but it adapts perfectly to the June festival when it receives typical accessories. Furthermore, it is a practical option for keeping your hair tied up without losing its grace.

"Double coconuts have a more current and fun language. They deviate a little from the traditional, but still go well with the colorful and cheerful proposal of the party", comments the hairstylist.

- Braid with bow and shine

The braid is that hairstyle that never loses its charm. For the June festival, it gains strength when it appears with a bow, a colored ribbon or some fabric detail tied to decorate the hairstyle. The production is delicate, photogenic and easy to adapt to different hair lengths and textures.

It can be made in a traditional, built-in or looser version, depending on the desired effect. For curly and frizzy hair, a beautiful option is to braid just one side and leave the rest of the strands with natural volume, creating a balance between typical and contemporary.

"The secret is not to try to change the hair texture, but to work with it. The side braid can enhance straight, wavy, curly and frizzy strands, always respecting the natural movement", says the expert.

- Geometric distributions with colored elastics

For a more creative children's outfit with visual impact, the hairstyle with geometric parts is a sure bet. The proposal is to divide the top of the head into well-marked sections, creating designs with the threads, and secure each part with colored elastics. The effect is fun, modern and perfect for those who want hair that is also the protagonist of the look.

In the June version, colored ribbons are a special detail, bringing movement and reinforcing the festive atmosphere. Neon elastics, small barrettes and even a touch of glitter can make the look even more cheerful, as long as they are used lightly and without weighing down the hair.

"This hairstyle has a very current aesthetic and works really well for June festivals because it allows you to work with color, texture and creativity. It's a different option, which attracts attention and leaves children's outfits with a fashionable look, but still very playful", explains Van.

- Side bubble braid with colorful ribbons

Finally, the side bubble braid is one of the coolest versions to update your June party hair. The hairstyle creates sections along one side of the hair, forming a "bubble" effect, while the rest of the strands can be left loose, with natural waves or free texture. To get into the Arraiá atmosphere, the colorful ribbons can be applied next to the elastics or braided into thin strands.

The result is modern, fun and full of personality. It's a perfect alternative for those who want to get away from the traditional braid, but still maintain a typical celebration reference. Furthermore, the hairstyle creates a strong visual effect in photos and goes very well with plaid looks, colorful dresses and June accessories.

"The cool thing about the bubble braid is that it has a simple construction, but a super stylish result. With colorful ribbons, it becomes even more connected to the June festival and gains that current touch that children love", comments the hairstylist.

Regardless of the hairstyle chosen, preparing the strands is essential to guarantee a beautiful and comfortable result. Before tying up, the ideal is to untangle carefully, apply a light finisher and avoid any excessive traction on the scalp. To control frizz and add shine, soft-touch products help to make the finish more beautiful without weighing it down.

"When we talk about children's hair, beauty and comfort need to go hand in hand. The hairstyle has to be safe, cannot be too tight and needs to allow the child to enjoy the party. With creativity, the right accessories and adequate finishing, you can create a beautiful, current and healthy look", concludes the expert.
