Okay, so back to school season is almost here! I remember feeling that mix of excitement and nerves every single year. Picking out new school supplies was always fun, but deciding what to do with my hair? That felt like a whole separate project! I’d spend ages in front of the mirror, trying to figure out a style that was cute, stayed put through classes and after-school activities, and didn’t take forever to do in the morning rush.

22 Back to School Hair Ideas
All right, let’s get into the fun part! I’ve rounded up a list of 22 fantastic hairstyles perfect for heading back to school. We’ve got everything from super simple to a little more intricate. No matter your hair type or how much time you have, you’ll find something here. Starting with a true classic that never fails!
22. Simple Ponytail
You really can’t go wrong with a simple ponytail. It’s the go-to for a reason! It keeps hair out of your face all day long. It works for just about everyone, from the little ones to high schoolers. Want to make it feel fresh? Just add a fun scrunchie that matches your outfit!
21. Half-Up Half-Down
This style gives you the best of both worlds. It keeps the hair away from your face so you can focus in class. But you still get to have some hair down, which feels nice. It works on short hair, long hair, and everything in between. Try adding a couple of small braids or simple twists to the half-up part to make it extra cute.
20. Space Buns
Okay, these are just plain fun! Space buns are playful and look adorable. They’re super popular with younger students, but really, anyone can rock them. You can make them neat or a little messy. For a pop of sparkle, add some hair glitter or use bright, colorful hair ties.
