It's that time of year again! Time to unleash your and your child’s imaginations and create some absolutely amazing hairstyles for school. Many schools like to have a day where kids can wear their hair crazy and show some school spirit! It's a fun way to get creative and let your kid have some fun!
This hairstyle is simple, speedy, and looks amazing on any hair length or texture. Pull it high for a more bouncy look or lower at the nape of the neck if desired.
For long hair, a low-slung, over-the-shoulder ponytail is an easy way to mix it up. Add a headband, like this flower crown-inspired one, for a colorful touch.
We love this playful front side ponytail for a quick and easy everyday hairstyle. Starting at the part, brush hair out of the face and make a ponytail on one side. Add a bow or ribbon if desired.
If she prefers to keep her hair down, give her a little flair by pulling the top half up and securing with a bow. She'll be happier when it comes time to do crafts or play outside.

Put hair in a ponytail high on the head, then twist the hair around into a bun. Secure with an extra hair elastic at the base or bobby pins, if needed.
A headband (with or without a bow) is an easy way to keep hair from falling into the face. Bonus: It adds a pop of color!
The addition of barrettes elevates the fun factor in this already cheerful hairstyle for kids and tweens. Clip a single barrette or a pair on bangs to keep hair pulled out the face and to add color and personality. This application works when hair is down or up, as shown here.
Two braids are better than one! Divide hair into two equal sections and tightly braid hair on each side. Contrasting hair ties or ribbons provide an opportunity to have a little fun with color.
This looks more complicated than it is! Simply part the hair down the middle, and braid each half. Then, for a fun twist, secure the two ends together with a hair tie. Use barrettes to keep any unruly strands in place and out of her eyes.

Give her cornrows a fun twist with a high side pony or bun. Let her express her fashion sense with colorful bows or barrettes.
There's a reason a simple French braid is so popular. The classic hairstyle works for just about every hair type and can be dressed up or down.
Take double buns to the next level by starting with braids. Twist around and secure with hairpins as you go. A straight part down the back and a sleeker style makes for a cleaner look than messy buns.
Dot double braids with sweet daisies for a party or special day out. Secure to hair with bobby pins.
All it takes is a handful of colorful hair ties to pull off this rainbow bright look. Graphic and colorful, this simple girls' hairstyle works from toddler to tween. Start by pulling medium- to long-length hair into high pigtails. Add another hair tie a couple inches down, repeating until you reach the bottom of each pigtail.

Tinsel hair, sometimes called fairy hair, will make her feel oh so special. Clip in a strand here and there in one color or more, depending on her mood. It's a great solution to permanent or semi-permanent hair coloring!
When in doubt, put a bow on it! Tie a ribbon to a braid or ponytail for a fun addition to any hairstyle. We love a bold color or pattern, but she might prefer something pastel, depending on her outfit.
Make these twisty buns your go-to when you're running behind before school. Divide hair equally and pull into pigtails. Twist hair tightly and wrap into buns. Secure with hair ties or pins as needed.
Not all little girls want to sit still to have their hair done, but they can still have a fun, simple style. Just pull her hair into two high ponytails, flip each over to make a messy bun, and secure with elastics.
Little girls and grown women are loving bangs these days. Let her try the hairstyle and see if it suits her. Just keep in mind she'll need regular trims to keep them out of her eyes.
Many schools (sometimes as part of Red Ribbon Week or Spirit Week) like to have a day where the kids can wear their hair crazy and show some school spirit! Crazy Hair Day has also been referred to as Wacky Hair Day!
The first annual Crazy Hair Day celebration took place in San Diego on Wednesday, March 10, 2004. Jennifer Case Nevarez and author Barney Saltzberg met at the annual Society of Children’s Book Writer’s and Illustrators in Los Angeles. Jennifer suggested the crazy idea based on the book Crazy Hair Day by Barney Saltzberg. They teamed up with the Children’s Museum and Starbucks to launch a city-wide reading campaign in San Diego to promote the joy of reading and build community .
More than 500 BOOKS were donated by Starbucks Coffee Company. More than 500 VOLUNTEERS and celebrity readers read to more than 8,000 children and adults in more than 120 LOCATIONS in San Diego.
While some of these fun hair styles wouldn’t be considered easy, they are all fun and wacky! I love how creative people can be! It was fun to see all the great ideas out there. But I know that sometimes you just need something quick and easy…because you are running late or totally forgot about crazy hair day! Which one is your favorite? There are so many fun hair ideas to choose from! For some reason these ones are my favorite! I love how creative they are! Does your kid have a favorite food? I love animals and this is a fun way to get clever with your hair.
