5 Cutest Kid Hairstyles for First Day of School

Going back to school can be intimidating for kids, especially if they are starting back in a new grade with new classmates and new professors. There are many ways you can help your child build confidence for the first day back to school, but one of them is making sure they are always feeling confident in how they look. As most of us know, feeling our best usually starts with our hair!


5 Cutest Kid Hairstyles for First Day of School

If you want to send your little girl back to school looking and feeling her best, then one of these five kid hairstyles for school will do the trick!

3/4 French Braid
Whether your child has short or long hair, French braids are the perfect hairstyle for the first day of school. Not only are French braids (of any sort) perfect for getting hair out of the face which can help with concentration, but they are constantly in style.

For kids with short hair, a three-quarter French braid is an easy way to put a unique spin on the traditional French braid. Leave out 1/4 of the hair to create a half-secured hairstyle that will last all day.

Frozen Fishtail
What child wouldn’t want to wear a beautiful Disney princess hairstyle? Make your child feel like a princess herself with this easy back-to-school hairstyle for kids. Best for girls with long hair, a pulled-out fishtail hairstyle is a quick way to secure your child’s hair in the most stylish way possible.


Make a low fishtail and tie at the end. Pull out hair gently on both sides to give the fishtail extra volume. Ideal for kids who love Frozen!

Twisted Waterfall
If you don’t have the time to do a intricate hairdo in the morning before school, then a simple twisted waterfall braid will help ya out. This hairstyle only takes a few minutes and few twists before your child’s ready to hop on the bus.

Simply weave around the head as you drop braided sections of hair. The end result is a half crown waterfall hairstyle that’s perfect for school!

Double Braided Buns
Create the perfect back-to-school kid hairstyle with a cute and simple double bun. To make, separate hair into two sections and tie in two pony tails. Wrap each section around each ponytail and secure using strong hair bows.
If you have an extra minute, you can braid each ponytail before wrapping around into buns to create a whole new look that lasts all day.

Teased Pony
A teased ponytail can give messy, lifeless hair the “oomph” it needs for a first day back to school. All this hairstyle requires is a comb and a little hairspray (and a hair tie to finish the knot). A teased pony is both easy and trendy!


These five cutest kid hairstyles for school are your ticket to easy, hassle-free mornings with your kids! Whether your child chooses a classic French braid or switches it up with a Frozen-style fishtail, she will be feeling confident about herself and her fresh hairstyle.
