Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

Cute hairstyles for the school festival: Easy hair arrangements (21–30)

Heart-shaped twin tails

Heart-shaped twin tails

Heart-shaped twin tails that are super cute and impactful—how do you style them? You might think it’s difficult, right? But it’s actually a very simple hair arrangement you can do just with a topsy tail.

Part the hair into left and right and tie each side, then tie again about 5 cm lower.

Loosen slightly and do a topsy tail, take a small section of hair below the elastic, tie it with a silicone band, then do a reverse topsy tail from the inside out.

Gather the rounded, fountain-like ends together with the back section of hair, and you’ll have a heart!

ribbon hair

[Ribbon Half-Up] How to Create a Ribbon Hairstyle Easily and Neatly

ribbon hair

Ribbon hair that makes a bow using your own hair.

You do need a certain length for this hairstyle, and it looks pretty difficult, right? But this ribbon hair is actually very easy to do, so definitely give it a try! First, make a half-up style and braid the top section slightly, then tie it off with an elastic for now.

Tie the remaining hair again about 10 cm below, do a topsy tail (flip the pony through), gently pull out a bit of hair for volume, and slide the lower elastic up to the upper elastic… it will form a bow shape.

Wrap the center of the bow with the small braid, and while holding the bow closed, secure everything with a clear elastic to finish.

half-up

Never fail! No pins! Just elastics! 3 easy half-up hairstyles♪

half-up

If you want to look a bit more mature than usual for the school festival, I recommend a half-up hairstyle.

As the name suggests, you style the top half of your hair up, so it works not only for long hair but also for medium and shorter styles.

There are various ways to arrange it, but the basics are simple—you can do it with just a hair tie, no pins needed.

Try leaving a few face-framing strands at the sides, using the topsy-tail technique, or adding rope braids and shaping it into a bun-like look.

Adjust the style to suit your hair length and volume.

voluminous hairstyle

If you want a hairstyle that stands out—whether you’re on stage at the school festival, acting as an emcee, or just want something flashier and cuter than anyone else—I recommend going all out with a super-voluminous style! There are many ways to do it: braid in ribbons with your plaits, add colorful extensions, try artificial flowers, sprinkle on some glitter spray—have fun adding a little extra to your hair.

Even styles that might feel a bit over-the-top are totally OK for a school festival!

braided down hairstyle

For those who feel their hair is too thick to pull off a cute style, here’s a slightly more mature braid-down hairstyle I highly recommend.

First, gather your hair into one ponytail at your preferred height, then gently pull out sections to create a soft, airy look.

Divide the hair into three sections and braid each one into a three-strand braid.

Then braid those three braids together into one larger braid to finish.

Gently pulling out small pieces will make it look even softer and more intricate.

Try changing the thickness of each braided section, or make one section a rope braid for even more movement and dimension!

Twisty ponytail

[Stylish People Are All Doing It] How to Get the Super-Popular Wavy Hair: Easy Hair Arrangement for School and School Festivals – Polish Oil – Shiori Ikeda – SALONTube Yoshiaki Watanabe

Twisty ponytail

A twisty ponytail that’s a slightly more elaborate take on the bubble pony.

For a bubble pony, you tie the hair at equal intervals with small elastics and pull out the sections to create rounded “bubbles.” For this twisty pony, you twist the hair in several segments, make a rope braid, then secure each section with a small elastic.

Wrap a small strand of hair around each elastic to hide it, and repeat.

The twisting adds movement and gives it a relaxed vibe.

It’s simple yet looks polished and gives the impression of a more intricate style, which is a nice bonus.

twin buns

[Twin Buns] Low and effortless ✨ A chic, casual bun style for adults 🥰

twin buns

It may look very elaborate and make you think, “Braids are too hard for me,” but this hairstyle is actually very easy.

Part your hair into left and right sections, take the top of each section, split it in two, and do a rope braid.

Rope braids are super simple because you just twist.

As you bring the front strand to the back, add a little hair from the side as you go.

Gather the remaining hair together and tie with an elastic, then bend the bundle to form a bun.

Wrap the leftover ends around the elastic, tuck the tips into the elastic, and you’re done.

The key is not to make the initial sectioning too strict.
