Whether your child is getting ready for a birthday party, school sports carnival, dance concert or school holidays, colourful braids are the most requested look in our Melbourne chairs! At the StarKids Hair Braiding Bar, we stock a rainbow wall of hypoallergenic braiding hair and sparkle tinsel across Point Cook, Keysborough and Melton.
1. Most Popular Kids Braiding Styles at StarKids
- Double Dutch & Boxer Braids (with or without Extensions): Neat, sporty and long-lasting—perfect for active kids, gymnastics and weekend events.
- Festival Feed-In Braids & Mermaid Braids: Add pastel pink, lilac, mermaid blue or neon rainbow extensions braided seamlessly into your child’s natural hair without any glue or heat.
- Kids Box Braids & Cornrows: Protective, low-maintenance braided styles that keep hair tangle-free for weeks.
- Bubble Braids & Sparkle Hair Tinsel: Lightweight fairy hair tinsel tied onto individual strands for instant shimmer that withstands brushing and washing.
2. How to Prepare Your Child’s Hair Before a Braiding Appointment
To get the neatest partings and longest hold, please arrive with clean, dry and thoroughly detangled hair. Avoid applying heavy oils or thick leave-in conditioners right before braiding, as slippery hair makes extensions slide out faster.
3. How to Make Kids Hair Braids Last Longer at Home
- Sleep on a Smooth Pillowcase or Bonnet: Wrapping braids or sleeping on satin reduces overnight frizz.
- Keep Flyaways Neat: Smooth a tiny drop of organic kids styling gel or curl cream along the part lines, and finish with cute bows, clips or scrunchies.
- Detangle Gently After Removal: When taking braids out, mist generously with detangling spray and brush from the ends upward using a flexible detangling hair brush.
