40 Easy Back-To-School Hairstyles For Girls That Any Parent Can Recreate
Between hustling to make breakfast, convincing your kids to brush their teeth and everything else that comes with a busy morning before school, your kid's hairstyle often falls by the wayside. However, these hairstyles for girls can come together with even the tiniest bit of effort. After all, no one wants a boring 'do. Take inspiration from the red carpet and recreate these quick and easy back-to-school hairstyles, including braids, buns, and more.
1.Pixie With Headband
If she's been complaining about her long hair, consider getting a chop similar to Rowan Blanchard's longer pixie cut. And no matter what length she has, tying a ribbon adds flair to any hairstyle.
2.Double Dutch Braids
Nothing says "I'm ready for school!" quite like these adorable braids. Double Dutch Braids are also known as the reverse French braid. You can braid hair all the way down, or copy Skai Jackson and secure the style at the nape of the neck.
3.Mini Braids
Looking for a new way to give your hair some oomph? Take a note from This Is Us's Mackenzie Hancsicsak and part your daughter's hair down the middle. Then, pull the front pieces out and braid them.
4.Half-up With a Ribbon
Even princesses need to get to class! Princess Charlotte's go-to hairstyle isn't complete without a delicate navy ribbon.
5.Side-Parted Low Pony
Keep it simple and sophisticated like Mackenzie Foy. All you need is a little lift in the front and a deep side part to make a style that will take her from class to soccer practice.
6.Braided Low Ponytail
There isn't a hair out of place in Zendaya's low-key updo. To create it, grab a brush and gel, and start braiding. Within seconds, you'll have a school-ready style.
7.Silver Accents
You might not allow her to get her cartilage pierced, but you can add small silver clips or hoops to her low bun. This is probably the easiest way to quickly adorn her hair, while also making a big statement.
8.Top Knot
If she's dying to copy your go-to hairstyles, throw her hair into this polished (and slightly messy) topknot. She looks a little more sophisticated, and her updo will keep her hair out of her face so she can focus on her schoolwork.
9.Bantu Knots
We love Storm Reid's edgy style that's both unique and chic. It looks pretty complicated, but you can make her feel like royalty in minutes with this easy tutorial.
10.Wrapped Pigtails
Take your pigtails to the next level with this super sleek pair, just like Brooklynn Prince. For even more style, wrap one piece around the elastic.
11.Buns and Bows
Double the buns, double the fun. Add a feminine touch to this trendy style with satin ribbons in coordinating colors á la Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things.
12.Sparkly Clips
This no-fuss hairstyle is perfect for little ones who won't sit still for more than ten seconds. Take some inspiration from This Is Us star Faithe Herman by pulling back your daughter's stray hairs with adorable bows.
13.Statement Bow
Now this is how you make an entrance. Copy JoJo Siwa's trademark style by finishing off her ponytail with a massive — key word: massive — bow.
14.Long Braids
Pigtails are the hairstyle of choice for lazy days but what about braids? Well, they're just as easy but instantly look more refined. Up the ante by using gold hair elastics like Eris Baker.
15.Half-up Braid
Because sometimes you don't have the energy to fully commit. We get it. Braid two pieces of hair on both sides of her part and secure them together. Easy, breezy, and oh so sweet (just like Chilling Adventures of Sabrina's Kiernan Shipka!).
16.Center Detail
Some girls want to wear a ponytaileverrrrrryday. If that sounds strangely familiar, then try out Nickelodeon star Madisyn Shipman's look by adding fun — and edgy — flair to the classic style by twisting wire — silver, gold, copper, and more — around 1-inch of hair.
17.Slicked Edges
The right hair gel will do wonders — just ask Grown-ish's Yara Shahidi. Instead of slicking baby hairs back, bring them forward and shape them to her liking.
18.Milkmaid Braids
Give your daughter this princess-worthy hairstyle by dividing her hair into two sections, braiding, and then wrapping around her head until it forms a halo. To keep it from looking too regal for school (if that is such a thing), pull out a few front hair strands.
19.Messy Fishtail Braid
Upgrade your daughter's braid game with this mermaid-inspired style. Follow the tutorial to learn how to master this chic (but effortless) look that actress Joey King sports from time to time.
20.Bobby Pin Details
Proof that bobby pins can be just as beautiful as butterfly clips and glittery bows. Seriously, how chic does Marsai Martin look?!
21.Double French Braids
All dancers know that French braids are just as effective as ballet buns, including Sia's sidekick Maddie Ziegler. To copy this style, part her hair down the center and tightly French braid.
22.Messy Bun
But sometimes it's about quality not quantity, right? Actress Caitlin Carmichael adds a messy bun into this simple half-up half-down hairstyle.
23.Wide Headband
If you're struggling to master the French braid but want your daughter to have a little somethin' special, add a headband. It's simple. It's also very Blair Waldorf (or in this case, Sadie Sink).
24.Subtle Clips
Sometimes subtly speaks volumes. Singer-songwriter Grace VanderWaal brings the glitz to this classic curly style with four rhinestone clips. And if rhinestones aren't her thing, you can go for rainbow or glitter clips.
25.Crown Braids
During the warmer months, long, heavy braids just make it hotter. Instead, twist braids into a makeshift crown similar to Skai Jackson's. Cool, right?
26.Clipped-Back Bob
Adorable on shorter hair in the growing-out phase, chin-to-shoulder-length styles of all textures look lovely clipped behind the ear.
27.Bandana Accent
Keep her flyaways under control with the help of a bandana. If Riverdale's Lili Reinhert is wearing one, that obviously means bandanas are here to stay. Thanks, Lili!
28.Triple Twists
Pair this twisted hairstyle with a headband to guarantee that stray hairs stay in place all day long. Yep, even after gym class. To copy Peyton Elizabeth Lee's hairstyle, tightly twist three sections of hair and secure with a clip or bobby pins before adding the headband.
29.Simple Headband
Does your kid want to be a Disney Channelstar? Well, this insanely easy hairstyle will make her Selena Gomez's twin, and that's basically the same thing.
30.Accent Braid
Dress up plain hair with an easy braided headband like McKenna Grace's. Seriously, all you need is a bobby pin and some novice braiding skills.
31.Teased Double Buns
Here's one way to give your little one some height. Break out the teasing brush to replicate actress Jenna Ortega's larger-than-life space buns.
32.Hidden Detail
Olivia Holt's gorgeous hairstyle is a must-try for any kid who hates having their hair in their face (so, everyone?). Sure, this looks subtle, but the deep side part really brings the drama.
33.High Wrapped Pony
There are so many fun elements to McKenna Grace's perky hairstyle. In addition to how high it's placed on her head, the wrapped base continues the smooth look of the slightly curled ponytail. Bangs swept in the opposite direction help keep the look balanced.
34.Ballet Bun
You don't have to be a ballerina to sport this classic hairstyle. But you do have to love roses to wear China Anne McClain's precious bun flower crown. Because who doesn't want to wear a flower crown to school?!
35.Slicked Back Ponytail
This insanely easy look will never go out of style. Just ask The Hunger Games actress Willow Shields. Or ya know, anyone else who dons a ponytail regularly.
36.Classic Crown Braid
She'll feel like a queen when she walks through the hallways wearing this timeless braided updo, especially if you throw in a few cute clips, as seen on Marsai Martin of Black-ish.
37.Half-up With Mini Pompadour
This classic style, seen here on Modern Family's Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, works on all different hair lengths and textures, and it's as pretty as it is practical, keeping hair off the face.
38.Half-up Bun
There's no need for hairspray, gel, or other goopy products here. If your daughter has thick hair, ditch a heavy top knot for this half-up half-down hairstyle.
39.Wispy Side Buns
For a more relaxed vibe, try actress/singer/dancer/fashionista Vanessa Hudgen's loose side buns. To replicate, make two space buns and pull out strands of hair until it achieves the desired "I tried but not that hard" style.
40.Braid and Ponytail Combo
Yes, you can really have the best of both worlds. Actress Kylie Rogers' easy-to-replicate hairstyle is all the proof we need.
