Now that our Swiss and UK friends (and pretty much everyone else) have also started school, I’ll share some more of my school hair ideas.
First, a 5-strand braid with micro braids. Warning: five strand braids always require some finger flexibility. This is nice and fairly quick if you’ve practiced it a few times, but don’t attempt it for the first time when you’re in a rush in the morning.
This is also easy to do in your own hair. Here’s a link to a tutorial by Bebexo: 5-strand with micro braids . And once you’ve practised it a bit, you can try a french version (on the right), but that’s a bit advanced.
If that’s all too much for you, here is one that is much easier: criss-cross pigtails.
The hardest part about this is making the partings: you need to divide the hair into six sections. Then make two pigtails at the top, cross them over, make two pigtails in the middle and include the crossed over pigtails as well, cross them over, and make two pigtails with the rest of the hair. I’ve twisted the hair a bit, to hide fly-aways.
Finally, a quick and pretty hairstyle: milkmaid braids.
The model here is my youngest daughter, who is not in school yet, but so often we have no time to photograph the older ones!
Here is a link to a tutorial by Cute Girls Hairstyles: Milkmaid braids.
This is also perfect for thinner hair. I tried it on my oldest, and it looked awful as her hair is so thick that the sides were very bulky, and it was too heavy to pin up securely enough to last a whole school day. But on the two younger sisters this style stays in quite well.
These hairstyles and a couple of ponytail days should take you through another school week!
