Hair We Go! 10 Hip Fall Styles to Rock Back to School

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.

French Braid Fab

Girls can wear this faux headband style (which is one of the top requested looks at Cozy’s Cuts for Kids) with their hair hanging down in back, or up in a ponytail. To add some extra pizzazz, add a fun clip to finish.

What You’ll Need:
Wide-tooth comb
Fine-tooth comb
Ponytail holders
Jaw clip
Decorative bobby pins

How to:
Step 1: Start with damp hair (either towel-dried or misted) and use a wide-tooth comb to detangle the hair.

Step 2: Use a fine-tooth comb to draw a horizontal line across the crown from the top of one ear to the top of the other ear. From the line, comb the hair forward to the face. Pull the hair in back of the line into a ponytail holder or jaw clip so it stays out of your way.

Step 3: Choose which ear you want the braid to start from. Tilt the head so the ear you’ve chosen is facing up toward the ceiling. With her ear tilted up, begin making the braided headband using the hair in front of the part.

Step 4: Once you’ve reached the other ear, secure the braid with a ponytail holder. If you like, tuck it behind the ear and pin it in place with a few bobby pins. Remove the holder from the rest of your hair and let her go…conquer the day.
