4 Easy Headband Hairstyles For School In 5 Minutes

Cute, no-heat headband hairstyles for every day wear! 




4 back to school hairstyles using headbands.


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.

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 #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.

Bandables Twisty Braids Headband Review and Tutorial

Bandables twisty braids headband review and tutorial

Today we are testing the "bandables twisty braids headband" by Localoc.  We saw this at our local Walmart and thought it looked cute and fun to try.

We are always looking for easy hairstyles for school mornings and thought it would be perfect for those days when you need a 5 minute hairstyle. (Which is pretty much every school morning at our house!) 


This would also be a great accessory for 2nd or 3rd day hair, to help disguise when it's looking slightly greasy. For those of you who are growing out your bangs, this would be fabulous as well!

Review and Tutorial Video: (Click here to watch this hairstyle video directly on YouTube.)



We liked that the little hair elastics on this headband held her hair back quite tightly without pulling or clamping her hair.  We've tried similar options in the past (with barrettes or clips attached to the headband) and it seems like you need exactly the right amount of hair to make those work. We've had trouble with the hair being too thick to clip the barrettes shut, or the hair being too thin and sliding right out.  So, the elastics are a great option that will accommodate all different hair textures and thickness.

There are many different hairstyles that can be created using this headband.  We have shown just a few basic ideas in this video: 


A half up twist.

 A ponytail.

If you play sports, I think this would be a nice option for keeping your hair out of your face.  You could add a ponytail, bun, or braid and be ready to go.

I think this would look really cute with curled, wavy, or crimped hair as well as straight.  This would also be perfect for short hair, as well as long. So fun!

We unfortunately were not able to find this available to purchase online yet... I think it is too new.  Here are some similar headbands on Amazon, but none with the elastics yet:

Headband 1, Headband 2, Headband 3. You might have better luck finding this at your local drugstore or retailer.

 These are all "no heat" hairstyles and could work for elementary through high school students.


Video Hair Tutorial: (Click here to watch these easy braids directly on YouTube.



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.
Hope you enjoyed all of these cute braids and are having a great summer!  When does school start back up again where you live?

 Hair Wrapped Ponytail - Fool Proof Method

 A useful hair hack!  Today's hair tutorial shows how to hide your hair tie by wrapping hair around it, the easy way.  This classic hair trick uses no bobby pins, extra elastics, or special hair tools (such as a topsy tail, clips, bungees, etc.)  We call this the "fool proof" or no fail method because it works for us every time and is super easy and quick.

How To Hide A Hair Tie By Wrapping Hair Around It - Video Tutorial 

(Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)




Tips and tricks for getting the perfect hair wrapped ponytail:

1. The strand of hair you are using to wrap around the top needs to be not too thick and not too thin.  If you are having trouble, you might need to add some hair to your strand, or take some out.

2. When initially making the ponytail, make sure your hair tie is tight enough to hold the ponytail in place, but not too tight so that you can't get your fingers through or pull the hair through it.

3. Use our video as a guide showing the points of reference and the direction the hair should be going.  IE grabbing the strand from underneath the ponytail, wrapping the hair completely one time, pulling the hair back over in the opposite direction, etc.  These steps are very simple, but if you don't follow them exactly, it may not work.

4.  If you want the wrapped hair to stay sleek and clean looking, use hair product before you start to help control flyaways.

This simple ponytail look can be used for almost any occasion, from the most casual (school days, the beach, working out, shopping, etc) to the most formal or fancy. We've even seen girls wear a sleek hair wrapped ponytail to the Prom or for their wedding!  This is probably the most timeless, popular, universal, and loved hairstyle of all time.

2 Easy Prom Hairstyles in 3 Minutes!

2 Easy, 5 Minute Prom Hairstyles

Today we are sharing 2 half up Prom hairstyles that are so easy you could do them yourself!  These styles are both very simple and elegant.

2 Easy Prom Hairstyles, Video Tutorial: 

(Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)




The 1st hairstyle is a half-up with the sides tied back into a standard knot.  We have used a rhinestone clip to secure the knot on one side, adding some bling to the style.  You could use a bobby pin to secure your knot if you don't want to use a clip.

The 2nd hairstyle is a half up, half down ponytail which we flipped under with a topsy tail (affiliate.) We then flipped the ends back through to form a voluminous loop.  We added a bracelet which we found at a local discount store to spice up the style. You could find one that matches your earrings, necklace, or dress!

Both of these styles were created using 2nd day curls, which we originally did using a NuMe curling wand (affiliate.)

Hope you are all excited for #prom season! #promhair #promhairstyle

New Super Easy Way To Make Space Buns - No Bobby Pins!

Super easy way to make space buns. No bobby pins!

Today we are sharing a fun and easy new tutorial for making space buns.  We love that this method requires no bobby pins!

This hairstyle is great for all ages and could be used for many occasions. We love that these double buns are popular and stylish for teens right now. So fun! And if you aren't super excited about the pigtail look, you could still use this method to create one bun in a half up style for a toned down variation.

Easy Space Buns Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)

Cute space buns hairstyle using topsy tail. So Easy!

Easy space buns video tutorial. No bobby pins method.

You may have noticed in our video (above) we used a "topsy tail" to create this style.  This isn't absolutely necessary, but makes it much easier to pull the loops through the elastic.  These tools can be found on Amazon (affiliate.)

This hairstyle will work for medium length, long hair, and even fairly short hair.  If your hair is on the shorter side, we would recommend taking more sections, and only looping them one time each through the elastic.

With Halloween right around the corner, we were thinking these buns could even be used for several different Halloween costumes:  Bears, mice, Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse, dogs, (basically any animals with ears!) You could also use them for rocker chick costumes, barbie, monster high, cheerleaders, fairies, etc, etc.

As mentioned in our tutorial, you can choose to make more of a loose, messy bun type of look, or keep the buns neater for a tight, sleek, coiled bun.  It is up to you!
