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.

Tie One On

If you love the way barrettes and bows look on your little one, but don’t like how they slip out when she's running around playing at school, snag a twist-tie fabric headband (or make your own), like mom blogger Roopika Malhotra did over the summer. They're not only sweet and retro, but super-practical since they can be adjusted as she grows.

What You’ll Need:
Fabric
Scissors
Wire cutters
Thread
Sewing machine or needle
Framing or floral wire

How to:
Step 1: Measure your kids head and cut out two (2-3 inch wide) pieces of fabric that are longer than the circumference.

Step 2: Put the pieces of fabric together (inside out) and sew all of the edges together, except for the end.

Step 3: Pull the fabric through so that it is right side out.

Step 4: Cut out wire and round the ends, so that they don’t poke your little ones scalp.

Step 5. Pull the fabric through and sew the end shut.
