As the days get warmer and the sun stays out longer, little girls are spending more time outdoors—running, jumping, laughing, and soaking up the sunshine. But with all that playtime under the sun comes the challenge of keeping them cool, especially when long hair starts to cling to the neck and forehead. Sweat and discomfort can easily turn fun outings into cranky moments.
The solution? Simple, breezy hairstyles that not only keep hair out of the way but also complement every twirl of her tutu dress. Whether she's dressed up for a garden party in a girls tutu dress or just heading to the park in her favorite summer outfit, the right hairstyle can make all the difference. You can complete the look with adorable hair accessories that add charm and personality to every style.

At age 3, many girls are full of energy and ready to explore the outdoors. That’s why lightweight hairstyles that reduce sweating are a must. Small braids are perfect for this age—they're not only adorable but also practical.
A great option is creating two or three small braids and gathering them into a ponytail. Another idea? A simple braid wrapped into a top knot. It keeps hair off the neck and adds a playful flair that matches any pastel-colored tutu dress.
Don't forget the accessories—Mini Celebrities' bows and sparkly clips can add a pop of color and whimsy to any braided style.
🌼 4-Year-Old Girl Summer Hairstyles
By age 4, your little one probably wants to spend even more time outdoors—playing in parks, having playdates, or joining birthday parties in her favorite tutu dresses.
For this age, braided hairstyles are a game-changer. A loose ponytail braid or side braid keeps her cool while giving her a picture-perfect look. Fishtail braids are another beautiful option, especially when adorned with soft ribbons or glittery clips that reflect her unique style.
🎀 5-Year-Old Girl Hairstyles for Summer
Five-year-olds are beginning school and forming their own sense of style. They want to feel confident, comfortable, and yes—stylish. Braids continue to be a favorite here, especially when combined with ponytails or top knots.
One idea: start with a ponytail, braid a small section, and wrap it around the base like a hair tie. This easy trick adds a polished look and keeps the hair secure even during active play.
Another popular choice is the braided crown—a go-to for moms who want to keep hair out of their daughter’s face while still showing off length and volume. It pairs beautifully with a tutu dress, especially for birthday celebrations, photoshoots, or school events.
💇♀️ Short Hair Styles for Summer
Short hair can be a real relief in the summer heat, but it still needs thoughtful styling to avoid sweat and stickiness. The good news? There are so many cute ways to style short hair, especially when your little one wants to feel just as fancy as her longer-haired friends.
A messy bun or mini top knot is a fun way to pull short strands away from the face. You can also try playful pigtails or side twists using colorful clips and bows.
Short hair also allows you to change up her style often. Think two little braids, side parts, or even tiny space buns. Pair any of these looks with a twirl-worthy girls tutu dress from Mini Celebrities, and you've got the perfect summer look from head to toe.
