I used to do school hair on the night before, and will probably get back to that when the mornings get darker and getting up gets harder, but at the moment I’m trying to send the girls to school with good looking braids. There was an article about me and my braiding in Nyt.fi (national news paper’s web site), which said ”Jenni’s daughters have always got a good hairday”, so I’m trying to live up to my reputation now 🙂

We’ve been trying to get into the rhythm of school mornings for nearly two weeks now. Last week, we did 5-minute braids in the morning, but had no time for photos. This week we’ve done a bit better, and managed to squeeze in extra 2 minutes for braid photos! So, now I can share some of my quick school morning braids:

First, the arrowhead braid by Hair 4 My Princess. Such an easy and quick style, but looks a bit different. Find a video tutorial here. This one stayed quite well, but I think it’s only because her hair is so long!

Another quick, but impressive braid is the carousel braid. Find a tutorial by Cute Girls Hairstyles for this one here.

This was perfect for my 5-year-old, as she’s been asking to have ”normal braids” for school… so a ponytail is fairly normal…

The next one looks more complicated than it is. The hairstyles, where you don’t need to make partings or have it symmetrical, are generally quicker. This honestly took me 5 minutes. It is just a combination of lace braids and french braids, which I made up as I went.

And finally, this morning I did another complicated looking braid, which is fairly OK to make, as it doesn’t require partings or symmetry. This one is a combination of feather braid and french braid, and took me just over 5 minutes, but I have to admit, you need some practice for this one!
