Doing your children’s hair every morning can become a bit dull. They often get fed up with a standard pony tail but with parents under strict instructions to make sure their child’s hair is tied up if shoulder length or below, many parents feel they have little choice.
There are plenty of hair styles that you can use to add a bit of life in to the hair do for school, and it may not take quite as long as you think to master them. Not many parents have much time to be doing hair in the morning before setting off on the school run and children do not like to be sat still for ages either. The trick is practise, you need to find a time when you are not in a rush and practise the hair styles. Sitting your child in front of the TV or with a good book can often buy you 20-30 mins but if your child is really against this you could practise on a styling head doll.
Watching tutorials hat you can pause and rewind will help you see how you can achieve the look you are after. There are thousands of free tutorials on Youtube etc. that show you step by step how to do a number of different styles on different lengths of hair.
