    While the act of braiding a toddler's hair is not unsafe, many of the accessories used to secure the braids can pose a choking hazard. If your child is under the age of 3, consider using simple snag-free hair elastics on the ends of each braid.

    On the Other: Fashion Meets Function

    Toddlers are actively engaged in the world around them, using their developing gross motor skills to explore and learn. Braids are an effective way to keep their hair out of their little faces and eyes, while maintaining a put-together look.

    Bottom Line

    The care of your toddler's hair is an important part of keeping them healthy and happy. Braids help reduce tangling in long hair and can be applied to nearly every hair type. As long as care is taken to select an appropriate accessory for the child's age, and the sections of hair are not pulled to taut against the scalp, braiding is a safe practice.
