9 silly hair day ideas for kids

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

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.

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.

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! 

Come and light your fire! Imperfection is definitely key with this one.

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?

Go over the rainbow with this hairdo. Try inserting a lightweight wire to arch your braid. You can practise your skills with this tutorial.
