2. High Pigtails
High pigtails are youthful and fun! Part your hair down the middle and make two high ponytails. This look is playful and perfect for younger ages or anyone who loves a cute style. Add bows or bright colorful elastics for extra cuteness.
1. The Crown Braid
Okay, the crown braid is my top pick! It looks so elegant and intricate, but it can be pretty simple to do. You braid your hair around your head, like a crown. You can do one big braid or two smaller ones that meet in the back. I love it because it keeps your hair completely secure and out of the way all day. It works on lots of different hair types and ages. Use bobby pins to tuck in any loose ends and secure the braid. Gently pulling the edges can make the braid look thicker and more like a real crown.
Frequently Asked Questions
I get asked lots of questions about keeping hairstyles looking good, especially for busy school days. Here are some common ones I hear.
How can I make my back to school hairstyle last all day?
To keep your style looking fresh, start with clean, dry hair. Use a little texturizing spray if you need grip. Hairspray is your best friend for hold, especially around your hairline. Don’t be afraid to use bobby pins to secure braids or buns tightly. A quick touch-up during a break helps too.
Which hairstyles are best for short hair for back to school?
Short hair has great options! Headbands are super easy and cute. You can use fun clips or barrettes to pull back front sections. A half-up style still works on shorter lengths. Adding texture with some waves or even a mini braid can also look amazing.
What are some quick back to school hairstyles for busy mornings?
When you’re rushing, simple is best. A high ponytail takes seconds. A messy bun is also super fast. Grabbing a headband and just smoothing your hair down is another quick win. Practice makes perfect, so try out some styles the day before!
Feeling Confident This School Year
Choosing a great hairstyle for the first day of school is more than just looking good. It’s about feeling ready and confident to take on anything! I hope this list gives you lots of ideas to try. Experiment with different looks and find what makes you feel your best. When you feel good about your hair, it really shows and helps you feel ready for a fantastic school year!
