Easy hairstyle tutorials for school girls that are perfect for time poor parents, or mums wanting to learn how to do tidy ponytails, interesting braids or adorable piggy tails!

If you have daughters, you will understand the work that can be involved in styling their hair for school each day. I have two daughters and in the beginning it was a fun novelty, however as time rolled on I quickly realised I didn’t’ have hours to spend creating elaborate hairstyles each morning. This is why I wanted to share a few of my favourite easy-to-do hairstyle tutorials that are perfect for school aged girls – and time poor parents too!

These easy (but still very gorgeous!) hair tutorials are great for keeping your daughter’s hair tidy and back out of her face whilst at school, which is also a good way to prevent her catching nits from other students.

BUT FIRST: CREATE A BOX OF HAIRSTYLING SUPPLIES

Before you get into all these pretty and inspiring hair-dos though, it’s worth taking the time to create a box of all your hairstyling tools and supplies – it will make your school mornings run even smoother! This can include brushes, combs, clips, hairspray, a homemade hair detangler, as well as all your pretty bows and accessories. Creating a hairstyling caddy also means that everything can be easily carried from one room to another, which is especially great if you have multiple daughters or like to do their hair in front of the telly.

French Braid

Learning to braid is really easy, and is a skill that you get quicker and quicker at doing! You can even do a tight braid at night before the kids go to sleep, and it’s often still good to go the next morning (depending on your child’s hair and how much they wriggle in their sleep). This will help save you heaps of time in the morning too!

Dutch Braid

Once you’ve learnt the basics of braiding, you can start to have some fun. I love a big chunky Dutch braid, and this hair tutorial will show you that it’s not any harder than a normal French braid.
