Easy and secure! Cute kids’ hairstyles you can do using only hair ties

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
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.

I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

A bun hairstyle that you can wear a hat withNEW!

A great hairstyle for when you’ll be moving around—like at a sports day or in the pool—is a “bun you can wear under a hat.” It’s easy to do: divide the hair into three sections, braid them, and then loop the ends through the gaps in the braid a few times.

This makes a bun that doesn’t fall apart easily and won’t interfere with a hat or swim cap.

Since the base is a simple braid, it isn’t difficult, and once you get used to it you can finish quickly, which is a nice bonus.

Create the same style on both sides for balance, keeping the height of the buns even.

Because the hair stays off the face, it won’t get in the way during exercise, and it’s perfect when you want to take photos of someone giving it their all.

Simple! Braided low ponytailNEW!

One of the biggest charms of a braided low ponytail is that it creates a clean, cohesive look while still having a dynamic silhouette.

Because you part the hair at the base, even hair that tends to spread out sits neatly, and the sides look sleek.

By combining a topsy-tail and braids, you get more dimension than with a simple updo, making the view from the back look more glamorous.

You can gently pull out the braid to add softness and an effortless feel, giving it a modern vibe.

The steps are just a combination of basics—tying with an elastic, doing a topsy-tail, and braiding—so it’s easy to do.

It’s also flexible: you can adjust the number of braids to suit your hair length, making it a style that’s easy for kids to wear, too.

No braiding! Easy hair stylingNEW!

http://www.lemon8-app.com

On days when you’ll be wearing a hat for a sports day, a hairstyle that holds up well and can be done quickly is ideal.

“Easy no-braid hair arrangements” are highly practical styles that meet that need perfectly.

Since they’re finished just by twisting, tying, and flipping the pony (topsy-tail), there are no fine steps like braiding, making them great for busy mornings when you want to get ready fast.

In particular, simply doing a topsy-tail based on a ponytail or twin tails gives a neat, put-together look.

Loosening it slightly as you go adds a soft, airy feel, and securing it in a heart shape can add a cute touch too.

If you want to really stand out at a sports day, we recommend styling your hair with fluorescent hair ties.

Even simple braids or a ponytail instantly take on a poppy, energetic vibe.

Especially on an outdoor field, they make it easier to spot your team or your child from a distance, which is helpful for cheering and taking photos.

The colors also show up vividly in photos and videos, making them perfect for keepsakes.

All you have to do is swap your usual hair ties, so prep is easy, too.

It’s a sports-day-friendly hairstyle that balances practicality with visual impact.

For girls, whether their hairstyle stays intact at a sports day where they wear hats is a very important point.

So this time, we’re introducing a hairstyle perfect for sports days that balances cuteness and practicality: the “braided down-do.” Because it isn’t tied high on the head, the hat won’t sit awkwardly, and it’s resistant to getting messy even when running or dancing.

By combining braids and pull-through twists, you can achieve a glamorous look with simple steps.

It stands out enough without hair accessories, making it perfect for families who want to speed up morning prep.

Just tie it! Twin-tails

Girls' Kids' Hairstyle Ideas: Easy, stylish tie-up hair that won’t fall apart—even at kindergarten!

Just tie it! Twin-tails

This is an easy, long-lasting hairstyle that just uses colorful hair ties.

Start by dividing the hair into two sections at the back.

Clip one side out of the way, and tie the top section of the other side with a hair tie.

It’s nice to use the most eye-catching, decorative tie for this first one.

Next, gather the hair at the temple area and tie it together with the section you just secured, using a colorful tie.

Continue repeating the same steps, moving gradually downward.

It’s also great that you can adjust the look by age—use colorful ties for little kids, and for older elementary-aged children, choose more mature colors like black or brown.

Perfect for kindergarten or school entrance ceremonies too! A must-see for moms and dads! Made only with hair elastics! Three super-easy and cute kids’ hairstyles★

Recommended for entrance ceremonies and school entrance ceremonies

How about these hairstyles for kindergarten or school entrance ceremonies? I’ll show you three hair arrangements you can do using only hair ties.

The first is a half-up style with braids.

Take a small section of hair from both sides, braid them, gently loosen the braids, then gather them together at the back to finish.

The second is a twisted ponytail.

Instead of braiding like in the first style, twist the sections.

Once you’ve twisted both sides, bring them to the back and tie them together with the remaining hair to finish.

The third is twin buns.

Divide the hair into two sections and tie them above the ears.

Split each ponytail into two, then twist counterclockwise as you wrap it around.

Secure with a hair tie to finish.

Add your favorite accessories to make it even more lovely!
