For those of you with sons be grateful that a quick brush of the hair is all you need to do to get your kids looking in-line and ready for school. For parent’s of daughters the whole “What to do with that mess of hair every day?” question can be a bit more daunting. I can’t stand to see my girls running around the playground or classroom with hair falling in their face so most times I draw a hard line with hair-dos during the school year. On the weekend all bets are off and I let the girls go au naturel which is always their preference. Here are a few simple and pretty ways to keep them fresh faced and ready for all school activities!

Always always always brush before you get started. Taking out tangles is key to a long-lasting hairdo.
Braid Crown
Grab a portion of hair from the side part to the ear.
Divide section in three parts and braid – finishing off with a clear hair tie.
Repeat on other side.
Pull braids together and use one hair tie to create a connected braid crown.
Clip a bow to the tail of the two braids for a more polished look.

Braided Pony Tail
Sweep hair from side part to just above the hair into one section and braid.
Finish braid off with a clear plastic hair tie and sweep braid and remaining hair into a pony tail.
Side Petite Pony Tail
Sweep hair from side part to just above the ear into one section. (Clearly Emma was starting to get bored…)
Finish with a hair tie and bow.
This one always keeps the hair out of their eyes!
French Braid
Gather center portion of hair from crown of head.
Begin to braid and gather a small section of hair from the side of the crown and add it to the section crossing over each time.
Finish braid with a clear plastic hair tie.
The most important tools – a Wet Brush and Goody clear plastic elastics.
