As to your question about hairstyles for preteen girls, there are more styles for them than probably any other age group. So, you can put their hair in one braid, two braids, in one french braid, or two french braids. They can wear ponytails or pigtails. They can wear their hair partially up in a clip or all the way up in a clip and a bun. You can braid their hair and then wind the braid around into a circle and secure it with bobbie pins. Preteen girls can also wear headbands to hold their hair off of their face. My one daughter likes to wear a braid or ponytail with a headband on her head as well. You can straighten their hair with an electric hair straightener or you can curl it with a curling iron.

You can also combine styles by putting their hair up in a ponytail and then curling the ponytail into ringlets and adding a bow or flower to it. You can even do some interesting styles like putting hair up in one ponytail on one side of her head. They now make may hair accessories that you can have fun playing with as well. These include bows, barrettes, flowers, and so on.
