Silly hair day ideas for kids

Would you like a cupcake?

We’re normally not into hair in our food, but this checks out. A small topknot tucked into a cupcake liner is pretty clever.

Dude!

Surf’s up! All you need is some blue hair dye (there are lots of great wash-out varieties at the drug store), a figurine and plenty of hair gel.

Don’t fidget

You’ve got a fidget spinner on your finger, why not your head, too? To create, cut out a spinner shape with holes large enough to facilitate three buns (use this easy donut bun tutorial). Add some coloured hairspray to take your design over the top.

Tropical vibes

This is a clever and really simple one. Spritz green hairspray or add a temp dye and put hair in a high pony. Pull ponytail through a paper towel roll and add elastics to create texture. Aloha, baby!

Fore!

This one scores extra points for glitter. A high sock bun is the foundation for this hole-in-one.

Neigh, girl, neigh! This fantastical hair can double for a Halloween costume as well. Grab that pink hairspray and get going.

Coloured hairsprays and temp dyes are an easy way to create an impact. How cute is this mohawk-turned-iguana?
