Your back-to-school outfit is ready, your usual makeup combo is also prepared, and when it comes to your hairstyle, you’ve come to the right place because we’ve got all the inspo you need!
Should you stick with your usual style (perhaps a messy bun or a ponytail?), or should you try something more unique, such as braided space buns?
If you want to make your back-to-school day truly memorable, I suggest not sticking to your usual style but spicing things up a little bit. These cute and easy back-to-school hairstyles will surely help you with that.
1. Half-Up Braids With A Bow
Brace yourselves because half-up braids with a bow are the cutest and coolest back-to-school style! Textured Dutch braids are always a good choice, especially when you want to achieve a naturally fuller hair effect.
2. Half-Up Half-Down Quick Weave
Half-up half-down quick weave is a practical solution that saves tons of your time when it comes to styling your hair (especially if you’re dealing with curls that refuse to be tamed).
Sleek, curly, or wavy? Or maybe a little bit of all three? The choice is yours.
3. Messy Chignon Bun
Classic chignon buns are a timeless updo for many ladies who want to achieve a professional, yet elegant style.
Lucky you, because a chignon is so versatile, meaning you can wear it on your first day of school. You can create a messier and effortless version of a chignon, preferably spiced up with frontal micro braids.
4. Sleek Half-Up Ponytail
Many people think that sleek styles are reserved only for special occasions, but times have changed.
A sleek half-up ponytail and any other slicked-back hairstyle are great options for a school hairstyle when you want to come back in style.
5. Messy Bun With Bubble Braids
A messy bun with bubble braids on top is a charming style everyone will want to copy. Are you ready to become a trendsetter? I bet you are, and I totally believe in your styling skills.
Reminder: bobby pins will help you a lot when it comes to shaping your bun and creating that messy look.
6. Waterfall Braid For Short Hair
Waterfall braids work on any hair length from short to long, and they create a feminine, soft look that accentuates the texture of your natural hair.
I’d suggest adding a stylish hair pin (or two) for a more personalized and cool look.
7. Two Barbie Ponytails
Since the Barbie movie, I’m pretty sure that Barbie styles have become even more popular. This impressive style features two Barbie ponytails in a sleek version.
It’s neat, cute, charming, and keeps your hair protected. If you have short to mid-length hair, go with low Barbie ponytails.
8. Side Fishtail Braid
When you get seriously bored with French and Dutch braids, you know it’s time to experiment with other braiding styles, such as fishtail braid.
This braid has texture, charm, and it’s best for achieving that messy braid look as if you didn’t try. At all.
9. Voluminous Claw Clip Bun
I have a confession to make: claw clips are my go-to style when I don’t have time to wash or style my hair, or when I want to add some volume without excessive styling.
Now, you don’t need to be too lazy to style or wash your hair to be an eligible candidate for a voluminous claw clip bun. It’s a perfect style for every occasion.
10. Sleek Ponytail With A Bow
Sleek ponytails come in many variations, and perhaps this one will become your favorite. You can substitute the decorative bobby pins with hair clips of your choice.
Golden tip: Just be creative and don’t be afraid of experimenting with bold baddie hairstyles.
11. Half-Up Half-Down Cute Back-To-School Hairstyle
A half-up half-down hairstyle with braids, bows, and waves offers a unique look that makes a big statement. Therefore, this style is one of the hottest school hairstyles you can’t miss this year.
12. Cute School Hairstyle With A Headband
Headbands are the greatest thing since sliced bread. They keep your hair away from your face, look stylish, and certainly help express your personality.
Little help: Silk and satin headbands are the most stylish options!
13. Dutch-Braided Pigtails With Pearls
Dutch-braided pigtails with pearls are the style that says: I’m wearing this unique hairstyle with utmost confidence, and I don’t care about what other people think.
Pearls on the first day of school? Yes, darling. So much yes.
14. Half-Up Half-Down Lace Front Wig Hairstyle
You’d be surprised how many variations of lace wig styles there are. If you’re looking for a style that complements your natural curls, go with sleek Bantu knots and get ready to receive plenty of compliments.
15. Twisted Bubble Braid
A long bubble braid with a twist is everything you need to become the it girl this year.
This adorable hairstyle is ten times more stylish than a ponytail, and it’s also easy to style. All you need are elastics and a few minutes of your time.
16. Upside Down Braided Space Buns
Upside down braided space buns are ready to conquer the classic space buns and perhaps you’ll be the first one to start this trade. If you have long, thick hair then you’re 100% ready for this impressive look.
17. Wavy Twisted Half-Up Half-Down Style
Wavy twisted half-up half-down hairstyle is not only reserved for weddings, birthdays, or other special occasions. The confident girls know that this is a must-try back-to-school hairstyle that makes a lasting impression.
18. Boho Cute Hairstyle For School
What essential “ingredients” do you need to create an impressive boho hairstyle for the first day of school? You need twists, micro braids, a bubble braid, and soft waves.
My humble conclusion: This half-up half-down hairstyle deserves a medal for being the coolest back-to-school style ever.
19. Low Sleek Bun
Do you have naturally curly, coily, or wavy hair? Then, a low sleek bun is a perfect hairstyle for you primarily because you never (or seldom) wear your hair sleek. And sleek is the new hot. Did you know?
20. Cute First Day Of School Hairstyle
French-braided pigtails are simple, cute, and don’t take much time to style.
After all, you probably have so many things on your mind before school, so simple and stylish hairstyles like these turn out to be real life saviors.
Who knows? Perhaps this look will become your favorite cute summer style as well.
21. Dutch-Braided Pigtails With Synthetic Hair
Dutch braided pigtails with synthetic hair in the color of your choice will ensure you become the coolest gal in your school.
If you have dark hair, choose lighter synthetic hair like pink, blonde, and other trending shades, and vice versa.
Best Of Luck!
Now you’re ready. Let me rephrase the first sentence: Your back-to-school outfit is ready, your usual makeup combo is also prepared, and when it comes to your hairstyle…you’ve finally found the right one!
