4 Easy Headband Hairstyles For School In 5 Minutes
Cute, no-heat headband hairstyles for every day wear!
Hey guys! We are always looking for simple and quick hairstyles for school mornings and thought these headband styles from our YouTube channel would be perfect for back to school season. These "5 minute hairstyles" are all super easy but still look fashionable, even though they take very little effort! The headbands add a stylish finishing touch and of course can be changed up and matched to your outfit of the day.
4 Simple Headband Hairstyles Video Tutorials:

Hair tutorial #1 features a classic twist on each side of her head, finishing in a low fishtail braid.
Hairstyle #2 is a trendy half up hairstyle with extra micro braids wrapping around the headband. We used a silver braided headband and placed it high on her forehead.
Hairstyle #3 is the easiest of all! A fancy side ponytail with a twist wrapping around the back.
Hairstyle #4 features a pretty beaded headband placed between 2 small braids. We created no heat waves by sleeping in braids overnight to complete this look.
All four of these hairstyles can be done with straight hair, wavy hair, or curly hair. Medium length hair or long hair will work best.

3 Back To School Hairstyles 2019
It's back to school season and we are excited to share 3 of our favorite quick and easy DIY hairstyles that would be perfect for busy school mornings!
These are all "no heat" hairstyles and could work for elementary through high school students.
The first hairstyle in our 2019 compilation series is called "gathered braids." This simple hairstyle consists of 3 regular braids banded together to form a cute half up hairstyle. Just a little something extra instead of the same old one braid half up!
Our next hairstyle is called the "palm tree bubble braid." This fun style looks a lot more difficult than it actually is. All that is required are a few mini elastics and the ability to make some regular 3 strand braids! My daughter wears this style quite often as a half up (as shown) and also utilized with a full ponytail.
The 3rd hairstyle in our video tutorial today is the "interlocking floating bubble braid." This technique can be used to create so many amazing hairstyles and just looks so cool. Definitely an attention grabber!
Supplies needed to recreate these easy hairstyles:
- Small hair elastics. (The amount will depend on the hairstyle you are creating as well as the length of hair you are working with.
- Hairspray, gel, wax, or other hair product to help prevent flyaways.
- The ability to make a basic 3 strand braid. (For all 3 styles.)
- Medium length or long hair.
2 Adorable Hairstyles Using The Bow Tie Braid
For today's hair tutorial we are sharing 2 of our favorite hairstyle ideas using the "bow tie braid."
If you are a long time subscriber, you may remember seeing these styles on our blog in the past! We thought they were too cute not to surface them again.
2 Bow Tie Braid Hairstyles, Video Tutorials: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
The bow tie braid is so pretty and unique and could be used to create so many different hairstyles and looks! You could use this basic idea to accent updos, half ups, down hairstyles, ponytails, and more. Depending on how you use this braid, it could work for formal events or every day occasions.... from prom, to work, or school.
Tips and tricks:
- Using the same number of strands on each side of the braid as you gather them into the elastic and take them back out will help to keep things looking symmetrical.
- I would also recommend using hair product on each individual strand to help control flyaways.
- Taking small sections as you create your lace braids on each side of the bows will make things look neater and better.
Spiral Twist Fishtail Braid Hair Tutorial
Our hair tutorial today shows how to create a pretty "spiral twist fishtail braid" ponytail hairstyle.
This braid is very simple to create, but will leave people wondering how you did it! We love that this braid gives sort of a 3D illusion. It is hard to tell where the braid starts and where it ends... with a fishtail running along the top, as well as twisting along each side of the braid, and crossing over the front. So fun!Spiral Twist Fishtail Braid Video Tutorial (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
As shown in our video above, strategic stretching along the edges of the braid really makes this style pop. Also, it is optional but placing a few bobby pins to hold the braids together as we did will help create the illusion of it being one braid instead of 2.
This ponytail style will work best with long and medium length hair. Big, loose, messy, and disheveled braids are trending right now. So feel free to stretch, fluff, loosen and twist to your hearts content!
Supplies needed to recreate this hairstyle:
- 1 medium size hair tie for the top of the ponytail
- 2 temporary hair ties or clips for the ends of the braids
- 1 medium size hair elastic for the end of the braid
- Several bobby pins (optional)
- Hair product to help prevent flyaways

Prom Hair Tutorial, Dress and Shoes!
GRWM Prom! Come join us as she gets ready for her first Prom.
Hey guys! A few weeks ago my daughter went to the Prom at her High School. We filmed as she got her Prom hairstyle done, showing step by step how to recreate it in a tutorial for you. She chose to wear a pretty updo with braids and twists and a sparkly headband as an accessory.

(Click here to watch the tutorial directly on YouTube.)
This updo is great for long hair, but would also work for shorter hair. The buns could be easily adjusted for the length of hair you are working with. We love this updo because it looks fancy and gorgeous but is fairly quick and easy, and requires no heat or pre curling of her hair (except for the optional pieces we left out framing her face.)
She went with a natural makeup look (which her aunt helped her with) a statement necklace, and minimal earrings. As you can see in our video, her dress was a modest vintage style and very princess like! We made a video a few weeks ago showing how to lace up this dress, which is a lovely corset back.
The dress was long enough that no one could see her shoes anyway, so she decided to go with the trend of Converse comfort! Best decision ever for the dance and for fun.
Hope you enjoyed a peek at her first Jr Prom!
Braided Edge Banded Fishtail (Part 2)
Today we are showing a variation of a fun new braid that we posted last week. If we have to choose, we actually like this version the most. ;) We love the way the fishtail strands are intricately stacked on this braid. And although this braid looks like it could be difficult, it is actually quite easy to create!
Braided Edge Banded Fishtail Video Tutorial (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
As mentioned in our hair tutorial (above) the only difference between this and last week's braid is the way that the fishtail strands are brought in. Last time we pulled the strands up through the ponytail, which made a reverse fishtail braid. This time the strands were taken down through the ponytail, creating a standard fishtail braid in each section.
Bow Tie Braid Ponytail Hair Tutorial
This bow tie braid ponytail is so cute and unique, it's sure to bring you compliments!
You may remember the "bow tie braid hairstyle" we posted last year? This bow tie ponytail is a fun variation of that hairstyle. We are loving this ponytail method as it is easier and quicker than the original (since no french braids or dutch braiding is required.)
Bow Tie Ponytail Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
The day my daughter wore this hairstyle, she had so many people ask her how to do it. It is definitely an eye catcher! We think the bows running down the ponytail are absolutely adorable. This hairstyle is quickly becoming one of our all time favorites!
This style will work best with long or medium length hair. As mentioned in our video, you can adjust the number of bows you make (as well as the number of strands forming the bows) to the length and thickness of your own hair.
We used clear elastics for the center of our hair bows. Colored elastics could also be used for a fun twist. I think jewels or other hair bling would be so pretty placed in the center of the bows or over the elastics as well. And of course, if you want to hide the hair tie at the top of the ponytail, you could wrap it with hair before you start braiding.
The best trick we can offer for creating this style is the use of hair product. We used pomade on each strand before making the bows to keep the flyaways down and to help keep the overall look smooth and sleek.
This hairstyle would be great for school, church, or special occasions. Hope you enjoyed!
