The hairstyles for little girls had to be simple. Who would want to go through all that hard work fussing with a little girl's hair just to have it get messed up fast? In the Ivan of Hollywood book, they gave 2 hairstyles to choose from. I personally like the second one better since practically any age could wear this style. Generally it was most common among children.

Above all, little girl hairstyles should be natural looking and easy to take care of. The top hair used for bangs features a "V" part in combination with a part that is slightly off center. The bangs are rounded because curved bangs are always more becoming that straight bangs. As in all professional haircuts, the hair is shortest near the face and longest in the center back. |

| <-- The short hair used for bangs is made into about four large curls. Since the hair is short, bobby pins are used in preference to hairpins. |
 |
Comb the hair back from the face and set the curls in the order numbered. The left side is set the same way. |
| When combing bangs, lift the comb away from the forehead so the hair will fall casually. Comb the sides back away from the face and then forward over the ears. Notice that the top layers are shorter and for this reason produce a dull, fluffy effect. When hair is all the same length, the weight of the hair will cause the curls to drop out quickly. Many times excessive hair length and weight will make the permanent wave appear as though it did not take.) |

A bow is used in this style for two reasons. It is suitable to her age, and at the same time it covers the bobby pins used to "anchor" the sides up. |

| Set the top hair into a ridge or half-wave, and turn the ends into one large flat curl. | Both the right and left sides are set the same. Simply comb the hair up, push into a half-wave, and make a large flat curl. | The back hair is combed down and set in curls in the order and direction indicated. |
| Comb the top hair first and secure with bobby pins just back of the half-wave. Comb the sides up over the top hair and insert bobby pins. Place bow on top. Comb the back hair down and forward over the ears. if the back hair is shaped properly it will fall into a casual fluff. |
