[For Kids] Sports Day Hairstyles That Work With a Hat (11–20)
Heart Twin
Let me introduce a heart-twin hairstyle arrangement that creates hearts girls will love.
Divide the hair into left and right sections, braid each above the ears, temporarily secure them, and join them into one.
Split the section into top and bottom; divide the top section into two, open it, bring it to the back and hold it in place.
Then split the section that’s now in front into two and bring it to the back as well.
Hold it firmly and tie it so it doesn’t come loose.
Once you’ve made it to your desired length, secure with an elastic and gently loosen it bit by bit.
Fasten with a decorative elastic, then repeat the same steps according to the hair length.
Finally, tie a little lower, do a reverse topsy-tail, separate the hair to form a heart shape, secure it, and you’re done.
With this stylish hairstyle, you might even feel extra motivated for sports day!
Ribbon-style braided twin tails
Here’s a ribbon-shaped braided twin style where the ribbon shape is the key point.
Divide the hair into two sections and tie them.
Take a small amount of hair from the surface.
Using a hairbrush is recommended.
After tying an elastic a little away from the roots, make a loop with the hair and do a topsy tail to tuck it in.
Align the topsy-tail elastic with the root elastic, then use a new elastic to secure from the roots.
Next, place an elastic diagonally, then place another elastic diagonally on the opposite side.
Insert a styling stick at the base of the tied elastic, take some surface hair, and thread it through with the styling stick.
Once it forms a ribbon shape, adjust the balance and you’re done!
Braids and a single onion-style ponytail
Create it with braids! Here’s a ponytail idea that looks like an onion.
First, make a ponytail at a height where you can still wear a hat, then divide the hair into three sections.
Leave the middle section as is, and braid the two side sections and gently loosen them.
With some spacing in between, gather all three sections together and tie them off with elastics along the length.
Pulling out and loosening the hair a bit will give it a relaxed, effortless look for a stylish finish.
Using colorful elastics makes it perfect for a sports day, too!
Four-braid twin buns
Introducing four-strand braided twin buns where the color of the hair elastics becomes a key accent.
Part your hair down the middle into two sections, tie each one slightly away from the scalp, and pull the hair through to create a topsy tail.
Use long-cut elastics to braid each section into a four-strand braid.
For the ends, form a bun, do another topsy tail to secure it, and gather everything in place—then you’re done! Try to keep the height of the buns even on both sides.
Switching up the color of the hair elastics by season or occasion can elevate the style.
Give it a try!
Twisted three-strand twin tails
Here’s a stylish, cute, and secure twisted braided twin-tail hairstyle that’s perfect for staying active at a sports day.
First, divide the hair into two sections.
From each side, take only the hair at the sides, and tie the back portion at a low position.
Twist the side sections, gently pulling out small pieces for volume, then tie them together with the back hair.
Secure with a statement hair tie, and braid the ends using a Dutch braid.
Switching to a regular three-strand braid partway also looks cute.
Another key point is to tie both sides at the same height so there’s no unevenness.
Braided-look hair with just tying

Since it’s secured firmly with elastics, this easy hairstyle will stay put even on active days.
First, work hair wax or a similar product evenly through your hair, then split it in half at the back and clip both sections out of the way.
Take a small amount from the top section and tie it with an elastic.
Tie another small section just below it.
Split the lower part of the upper ponytail in two, wrap those pieces around the end of the lower section, and secure.
Repeat this process, and when you reach the end, gather the remaining hair together and tie with an elastic to finish.
Gently pull out and loosen the braid to your liking to add a stylish, effortless look.

Arrangement for Bob

Use accessories to create a glamorous look! Here are styling ideas for bob-length hair.
When your hair is short, it can be hard to come up with different arrangements.
These ideas will help! You’ll need hair elastics and a clip for temporary holding.
First, gather the hair above your ears; then combine it with the hair below your ears and braid it together as you secure it.
Add a pony hook if you like—it’s super cute! Give it a try.
