8. The Giggling Braids
These aren’t your average braids! Giggling Braids are all about fun, chunky braids that are slightly messy and full of life. Imagine Dutch braids that are pulled apart to look bigger and softer. You can add colorful yarn or ribbons woven into the braids. This style is great for active kids. It keeps hair tidy but still looks festive. To make them extra giggly, try braiding in some small, colorful beads. They add a delightful jingle with every bounce!
7. The Clown Prince’s Pompadour
This is a showstopper! The Clown Prince’s Pompadour combines a classic retro hairstyle with a playful, exaggerated twist. Think a voluminous, swept-up front section that reaches for the sky. You can add contrasting colors to the sides or back. This style demands attention! It’s perfect for older kids or adults wanting a dramatic entrance. A good styling comb and a strong pomade or hairspray are essential to achieve that gravity-defying height. It’s a true statement piece!
6. The Sparkle Spritz
Let your hair shine like a disco ball! The Sparkle Spritz is all about glitter and shimmer. Start with any base style, like a ponytail or braids, and then liberally apply hair glitter spray. You can also use glitter hair gel for more concentrated sparkle. Consider adding fine iridescent glitter for a magical effect. This is an instant mood-booster! It’s perfect for parties or any occasion that calls for a little extra dazzle. Just be prepared for glitter to go everywhere!
5. The Rainbow Swirl
This style is a vibrant masterpiece. The Rainbow Swirl involves creating sections of hair and applying different bright, rainbow colors. Think vivid reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, and purples. You can achieve this with temporary hair colors or even colored hair chalk. Once the color is applied, you can style it into braids, buns, or a wild, free-flowing look. It’s a bold and beautiful way to embrace the spirit of the circus. Remember to protect clothing when applying color.
4. The Polka Dot Puff
This fun style is inspired by classic clown costumes. The Polka Dot Puff involves creating small, rounded sections of hair, almost like little pom-poms, all over the head. You can secure these with colorful elastics or tiny bows. For an extra touch, try coloring alternating “dots” in different bright shades. This is a super cute and manageable style for kids. It’s playful and adds a whimsical touch without being too overwhelming. It’s charming and easy to create!
3. The Zigzag Zest
Add some sharp style to your clown look! The Zigzag Zest uses precise zigzag parts to divide the hair into sections. These parts can be highlighted with contrasting colors or left natural. You can then style the sections into braids, ponytails, or leave them down. This adds a graphic, modern edge to any clown persona. It requires a steady hand and a good comb for those sharp lines. It’s a surprisingly simple way to elevate a hairstyle. This works great for both kids and adults.
2. The Big Top Bun
This is a classic for a reason! The Big Top Bun is a large, often brightly colored bun placed strategically on the head. Think of the iconic Marge Simpson style, but with a clown twist. You can create a single, massive bun on top or two smaller ones on the sides. Use hair padding or teasing to achieve that impressive volume. Wrap the bun with a colorful scarf or ribbons for extra flair. It’s a bold, fun, and relatively easy style to manage.
1. The Whimsical Wiggle
Topping our list is the Whimsical Wiggle! This style is all about playful, bouncy curls and waves. Imagine hair that looks like it’s alive with joyful movement. You can achieve this with curling irons, rollers, or even by braiding damp hair. Add some bright, oversized accessories like flowers or pom-poms. This look is incredibly versatile and suits all ages. It’s the epitome of fun and carefree clown energy. A flexible hold spray will keep those wiggles bouncing!
