If you’re a parent, you know that going back to school can be stressful. You want your child to look their best and feel confident, but there are so many different styles and cuts available! That is why we have compiled a list of the best frolicious kids’ hairstyles for back to school, as well as back to school natural hairstyles for black kids.
Overview
Picking the right hairstyle for your child is important, not just for style and comfort but also for their health. The style of hair you choose will determine how much effort it takes to keep it clean and healthy. If your child has long hair, they can wear a ponytail or braid as an alternative to braiding their strands into a bun. If they have short hair, they may choose side braids or pigtails instead of putting up their entire head in one piece. This allows them to have more freedom in terms of the type of look they want while still giving them access to all parts of their head at once.
Back to School Best Hairstyles
Back-to-school season is a time for new beginnings, and the perfect hairstyle can help you embrace this exciting new chapter in your life. Whether you’re on the hunt for a simple updo or a more elaborate updo with bobby pins. There are plenty of options available to transform your kid’s look! Here are my top tips for creating the perfect back-to-school style:
#1. Dutch-and-Fishtail Braid Combo
This is a great style for long hair, and it’s easy to pull off.
First, let’s talk about the Dutch braid: It’s a three-strand braid, with each strand going down one side of your head and then back up on the other side of your head. Leave enough room at the top so that when you start braiding again after each section, you can easily bring all three strands into position without gaps or knots.
#2. Loose Curly Updo
To create the loose curly updo, start by applying neutral-colored hair oil to your damp curls. If you live in a humid location or frizz easily, avoid this brand. Consider dry shampoo instead.
Once your hair is styled, make sure it’s secured with bobby pins—you’ll need them later when styling your bangs. Then apply hairspray from root to tip so that it holds all of those gorgeous curls together without being too stiff or sticky on the top layers. This technique will also help prevent flyaways from escaping around earlobes during class time.
Finally, remember to always leave a layer beneath one side eyebrow for pulling hilarious faces over lunchtime food during class.
#3. Braided Ponytail
Leave the ends out of your braid. Pull the braid through the ponytail holder and secure it with an elastic band. Spray your hair with a texturizing spray before you take it down so that it’s easier to comb through and style once you’re done.
#4. Twisted Ballerina Bun
The twisted ballerina bun is a low-maintenance hairstyle that is simple to do while still looking stylish. If you’re new to buns or looking for a new spin on a familiar favorite. You should try a twisted ballerina bun.
To get started:
Apply hairspray to damp hair and twist it into a large bun at the base of your neck. Then secure it with pins or jewelry clips as needed (I used two pairs).
Next, take out some small sections from underneath your twists so that they hang down in front of the face instead of behind it—and don’t forget about those bangs! This will help give them more volume while still keeping things conservative enough for school-age kids (or anyone else).
#6. Half Up Half Down Messy Bun
You can make this bun look messy with any kind of hair. If you have curly or wavy hair, then you will need to create some volume in your hair and put in some gel.
The best technique to achieve this is to make curls on top of your head and then draw them down underneath your hair so it looks like gravity is holding them in place. This will give off an elegant vibe while still being trendy enough for school. Thus, if you want something different than what we just showed above, try doing a half-down messy bun instead! Making these buns is varied: some want them tighter, some longer, and some looser.

What’s the Best Hairstyle for Girls?
There are many different types of hairstyles for girls, but here are some of the best ones.
- Short hair: This is a great option for those who want to keep their hair short and easy to manage. It can be done in several ways, including straight or curly, with bangs or without them. If you have long hair that’s not quite shoulder length but want to look like it is (and feels more sophisticated), consider getting your locks cut into an ethnic style called “Bantu knots.” This will add dimension and interest while still maintaining the overall look of being natural looking on top of your head.
- Longer hair: If you’re looking at growing out your current hairstyle by growing out some bangs or braids then this may be just what you need! Longer styles usually take longer to get used to because they require more upkeep than shorter styles do – but if done right then nothing beats having beautiful long locks flowing down over one shoulder when walking downstairs together as friends after school ends each day together every day forever.
Back to School Natural Hairstyles for Black Kids
Kids have a lot going on, and they’re often more comfortable with something familiar. If your kid has natural hair, you know how difficult it is to find the right hairstyles for them at school. We’ve gathered a list of five simple styles that will keep your child looking their best while also making them feel like themselves.
#1. Kids Lemonade Braids
This hairstyle is perfect for school, play, sleepovers, or any other occasion where you want to look cute but still be comfortable. You can also do this style with natural hair or relaxed hair and long or short hair. It’s easy to do, so you’ll never have an excuse not to look your best.
- Step 1: Begin by sectioning off the top of your child’s head with small sections of hair from each side and the back. Make sure they are even on both sides. Then comb through each section with a wide tooth comb.
- Step 2: Take three extra pieces of hair from around the front and tie them into a loose ponytail at the top of their shoulders (or just above where their ears would be). This will help keep everything secure throughout the process so as not to irritate anyone involved (not just yours but theirs as well).
#2. Mickey Mouse Puffs
To get the look, start by parting your hair to the side and pulling it into a low ponytail. Then, twist the top half of your hair around itself until you reach the ends. Repeat this step on the bottom half of your hair, adding more twists as needed. Set aside and secure with clips or bobby pins if necessary.
In front of both ears, twirl each section outwardly until they are separated from each other. Once again, secure these pieces with clips or bobby pins so that they stay out of your face while you work next to them. Take the long tail left over from earlier and wrap it around itself once or twice before securing it to either side of your head using bobby pins or barrettes (this will make sure no stray hairs peek out).
#3. Double Braided Buns
To get a double-braided bun, first, separate your hair into two ponytails. These buns should be as small and tight as possible. If they’re too big, they won’t hold the style as well or look very neat. Next, take one of these braids and split it in half to create two smaller braids that are still attached at the top of your head. Then secure each of these braids with a hair elastic band.
If you don’t have rubber bands, use a piece of string to tie another segment of hair from each side of your part at the nape of your neck, two huge buns on either side! If you need to, you can use more elastics and wrap them around both buns until they stay in place. This is essential if they’re made from thick strands because they may fall out otherwise owing to gravity when worn over lengthy periods.
#4. Shuku (Nigerian Name for the Back Hairstyle) With Twists
This style is perfect for school—and beyond. It’s a variation of the traditional shuku hairstyle, and it will give your kid that preppy look. To get this look, you need to start with freshly washed hair that is not wet. If your child has a short haircut, you can take her hair out of her head by pulling it down at the sideburns and back toward the neck in a ponytail holder.
You can then twist her hair into two sections and braid them together until they reach the ends of each section before separating them again with one twist at each end (like braids). Secure these twists with rubber bands so they don’t loosen during school time or while playing outside in the sun.
#5. Tension-Free Kinky Twists
When it comes to styling kinky hair, the tension-free twist is a classic that never goes out of style. The twists are done with a strand of natural hair against a sectioned ponytail holder or hair tie and the resulting look is super clean and neat!
How-To:
- Divide your sections into three parts, this will make 10 sections in total (three on each side and five on the back).
- Pick up one section from either side using an elastic band or hair tie which should be close to the scalp. Then gather all the rest of your hair together into a ponytail at least 6 inches below where you want it finished off when completed so that there’s enough room for twists later on down below once they’re finished being created.
Why Do Schools Care About Hair?
A school is a place where students are supposed to be safe. So schools need to keep them from being distracted by their hair. Hair can be a distraction, safety hazard, and health hazard. Students who don’t pay attention in class may find themselves injured by other students or get into fights with them over something as silly as their hair. Hair also makes it difficult for teachers to see what’s happening around them when they’re trying to teach their classes because the strands obstruct their view—which leads us back to why we care so much about keeping your kid’s head clean and neat.
How Do You Do a Simple Hairstyle for School?
The simplest way to do a simple hairstyle for school is to braid your hair. This can be done in different ways, but the most popular method is braiding it into two sections and then tying them together at one end. You can also use an elastic band or clip if you don’t have time for the long braid look.
Another great option for getting ready in the morning is having your hair pulled up into a ponytail (sometimes called an “upside-down” ponytail). If you want more of an elaborate look, try adding some accessories like barrettes or ribbons before pulling it into place on top of your head.
