It’s time to get your kids prepped and polished for school. As much as they try to convince you that their pool hair is perfectly fine for the classroom, you know otherwise. From braids to buns and curls to wisps, click through the gallery for 10 DIY Fall hairstyles to kick off your school year in style.

Made in the Braid

Ponytails and braids are a schoolgirl's staple. Take the look to a whole new level with these Heidi Braids from Cup of Jo.

What You’ll Need:
Rattail comb
Bobby pins
2 small hair elastics
Long piece of ribbon

How to:
Step1: Part the hair down the middle--or on the side--into two sections.

Step 2: Take the first
section, and split it into three equal parts.

Step 3: Place the center of the ribbon against the back of the head, and add the ribbon into the center parting; braid (with the ribbon included) and secure the end with an elastic.

Step 4: Repeat on the other side.

Step 5: Gently pull each braid up to the top of the head, tucking the tails underneath each other and pinning in place with bobby pins.

Step 6: Tie the ribbon into a bow, and give your little princess some room for a curtsy.
