Easy crazy hair day hair - Arts, Crafts and DIY

28 Comments

A seriously quick and easy crazy hair day do for when you a) forgot b) are running late for school c) lack the motivation to make cupcakes out of your daughter’s hair.

Material

4 elastics
2 long ribbons
brush and comb

Method

Brush hair then with a comb, part in the middle.
Put hair in piggy tails. Then tie a ribbon around each elastic. Begin to plait the hair and catch in the ribbon in one of the three strands of the plait.
Plait until the end of the hair and secure with another elastic. Repeat on the other side.
If you like, you can put a ribbon at the bottom of each crazy plait.

Great idea. I did something similar and use multicolour pipe cleaners in my daughters hair and she loved it. They stayed in all day too

Wow, I love this idea. I’m not great at doing hairstyles, but I can manage a simple plait with no problem and adding a ribbon will work great. Thanks!

Wooohooo so glad I came across this, my kids take after me with platinum blonde hair and I don’t like putting colour in it. YAY.

You could got really crazy and add a different colour ribbon to each piece of hair. You could also have a go at adding bits and pieces to the ribbons

You could also mix it up by having two different coloured ribbons.
