13 Cool Kid Hairdos That Are Absolute #goals
We leave no stone unturned when it comes to finding the next source for hair inspo. Whether it’s the runway, the red carpet or the street, we search high and low for creative ideas that will take our strands from simple to stunning. The latest and greatest hair looks this season, however, have come from a surprising source — children. That’s right — little humans are killing the hair game. #kidswithcoolhair is a hashtag the Internet has gifted us that keeps on giving. These pint-size influencers are rocking rainbow locks and complex braids that are absolute goals. Not only are they fun and stylish, but they also make us wish our parents had let us rock these awesome looks back in the day. Want to see what the kids are wearing nowadays? Here are 13 child hairstyles that will inspire your own.
1. Pompadour Pouf: This fashionista is flaunting what her mama gave in the form of this stylish pompadour pouf and pony. Add a fur vest and a bold lip and you can recreate this style for your next brunch with the girls.

10. Green Tips: If you don’t want to dye *all* of your hair, just color the ends for a cool-girl-meets-grunge-goddess look that feels so RN. Better yet, create an ombre effect via balayage for a more subtle feel that will satisfy HR.

11. Half-Up Curls: Curly hair, don’t care — especially when it’s paired with next-level color combos and omg-worthy ombre. The only thing more amazing than this mini model’s style is the fact that her locks totally match her dress.

12. Undercut: Introducing the most badass kid to ever walk the planet. Follow this cool girl’s lead and embrace your inner wild child with an undercut to end all undercuts. Between the dye job and the sunburst detail, this kid has the world beat — and her age is probably still in the single digits.
