My go-to is a messy bun because it takes two seconds. I occasionally do pig tails or braids but not as often as I would like. I would love some new ideas of easy styles, she has so much hair it almost always has to be up one way or another.
How do you typically style your LO's hair?

Her hair is always in her eyes, so I always put a bow with no slip grip or a clip to keep it out of her face. The only other style I do is whale spout. I need to try to do pigtails but her patience is low these days! She's 21 months.

Whale spout. She has enough hair that it gets in her eyes but not enough to do much else with. She's 13 months.

I'm lucky if I brush it and put in a clip. We both have a lot of wavy hair. She been growing it out since birth and I'm still not used to her actually having some!

Cornrows, box braids, French braids, mini twists, and the standby is her Afro with a headband.

Today she had a half pony to the side with a braid.
I regularly do ponytails, pigtails, half up, half up pigtails, high bun, French braids, Minnie ears (two high buns), bunny tail (looped pony at the back of her neck). she's usually pretty willing to let me play with her hair.

She has long hair and likes it down. I usually put her hair in a sideswept braid which consists of her long bangs braided off to the side of her face. Her part is off center so I only need one. If not that it'll be a sideswept pony with a bow. If she is willing we also do Anna braids or pigtails. Her hair is too fine for much.

@mrsjazz: Sigh. Please come do my LO's hair.
5-6 days per week it's a ponytail puff. I hate myself for it because she gets breakage but it's just easy.
About once per week, usually after wash day, she'll wear it "down" with something to keep it out of her eyes. We've had success with a little side ponytail in the front lately.
Every now and then we will do pigtail puffs.

IF I had it my way, she would wear a messy bun, ponytail, braids, piggy, Anything. but instead she insist on wearing "crazy hair" which means down, in her eyes, with no elastic in it. It's a battle daily.

@oliviaoblivia: we do all of the same (though I never knew some of the names, like Minnie ears and bunny tail!). LO requests a style each morning, I try to oblige,

@yoursilverlining: they were named by DD. Took me a while to figure out what she wanted when she was begging for a bunny tail.

Side swept french braid, half up ponytail, or a side ponytail are our favorites. I wish she would let me do pigtails, but she doesn't like them

Her hair is always up somehow. Often it's in a ponytail or two pigtails. I'm also fond of doing a front braid (no bangs on her and she's constantly battling new growth). Today is a front braid into a pony tail. I'll do braids (french or dutch) and twisted knots. I haven't perfected the bun and messy buns seem to just fall quickly.

DD1 gets a ponytail because that's the extent of my knowledge of toddler hairstyles 
DD2 gets a clip because that's all she'll let me do to her hair.

Her go to hairstyle is a ponytail or high bun. I sometimes add a clip for her bangs but these days she doesn't like it.
Once in a while I do a french braid (she likes), or pig tails (she doesn't care for). She now refuses hair bands!

@daniellemybelle: Hahaha. Move closer and I will But YouTube is your friend. There are so many great tutorials. I wish my LO had enough hair for a ponytail puff--that's my go-to hairstyle

Usually a messy bun for DD1. Sometimes French braid, ponytail, half up or down with a headband.
Dd2... Nothing yet. Her hair is like a treasure troll!
