Braids are a great hairstyle to keep hair out of kids’ faces while at school. What makes it even better is that you can customise the braids according to what your little one is comfortable with. Create two fishtail braids, French braids, or some simple 3-strand braids — this school hairstyle is far from basic!

Sometimes all you need to turn basic into fab are a few accessories, having a few cute headbands at home will make life easier. Get them in some school-colours and pop them on your little one to keep their hair neat and away from their face.

For a school hairstyle with a ‘twist’, we definitely think these flat twists are textbook perfect. They’re fun, neat and won’t get in your little one’s way while running on the playground. Plus…they’re fun enough to be rocked after school or on the weekend!
