Crazy Pipe Cleaners
Ok mamas, this is easy peasy. Grab some pipe cleaners at your local craft store (we found these uber cool multi-color "fuzzy sticks" at Walmart), twist around a pencil, then stick in whatever style you want! For this look, we opted for double buns with a few extra bobby pins and they lasted an entire dance class.
Big-Eyed Monster
A little colored hair spray and two big googly eyes is all you need to catch this look. A quick trip to your local party store can knock both of these items off your list!
Colored Shampoo
If you're a parent that thinks ahead, this fun hair color from Rock the Lock's is a kid-friendly way to add a pop of color! Lasting five to 15 shampoos you can use again and again and rest easy in this vegan and phthalates, sulfates and parabens free formula.

Cupcakes
One of the easiest crazy hair options, all you need are two cupcake liners for this sweet look. Make two buns, then cut slits in the bottom of the liners before slipping over the bun.
Octopus
You can finally use all those pipe cleaners you've had lying around! Grab those plus a puffy ball and googly eyes, then add to a bun for a cute look that works for any crazy hair day. Head to One Creative Mommy for all the details.
Surfs Up!
Make waves with this adorable 'do for boys. Make that hair stand tall, add some blue and don't forget a few LEGO minifigs.

Master braiders will love this fun hairstyle that incorporates Ariel! Braid your fave mermaid into the braid, then top it off with a little green hair spray to give that authentic "tail" look.
