[For Elementary School Kids] Recommended Sports Day Hairstyles That Spark the Power to Do Your Best (1–10)
low ponytail
It looks cute paired with a mature, sheer ribbon accessory! Here’s a low ponytail idea for you.
Low ponytails tend to be simple, right? This idea creates a stylish low ponytail using just one elastic.
The key points are to apply oil to all of the child’s hair before tying, and after tucking the hair in a loop, pinch it into shape and then slightly slide the elastic.
To create a soft, effortless look, loosen the hair generously around the nape area.
Add a ribbon accessory if you like.
Side three-strand braid flip (kururinpa)

A gorgeous down style that combines a three-strand braid and a topsy tail is perfect for kids with longer hair! Work styling product through the hair, sweep it to one side, and gather it into a low ponytail.
Create a gap above the elastic and flip the ponytail through (topsy tail).
Wrap a small section of hair around the elastic to hide it.
Then braid the ends into a three-strand braid and gently loosen it for a chic braided look.
Lightly pull out some hair at the crown and sides for a relaxed finish to boost the style factor.
To keep everything in place, set it with hairspray at the end.
braided bangs

A braided bang style that can dramatically change your look without tying up all your hair! Section off the area you want to braid and work in some styling product.
Divide the hair at your starting point into three strands and make one regular braid.
Next, do a one-sided French braid in the direction you want to take the braid, adding small sections of hair as you go.
Gently loosen the braid for texture, then secure it with an elastic or pins.
If any short pieces stick out, tuck them in with U-pins, and you’ll have a fringe arrangement that neatly frames your face.

Braided twin buns

If your hair has a bit of length, try twin braided buns for a cute, clean, and stylish look.
Because the hair stays neat and contained, it’s great for sports or school field days.
Leave some face-framing pieces and it works for a day out in the city, too.
Start by French-braiding two sections from the top, then combine each French braid with a regular three-strand braid and twist them into buns at the back, securing firmly with pins.
If you place the buns lower, they won’t get in the way when wearing a hat.
Longer strands won’t come loose, so the overall style stays compact.
Finish by setting with hairspray so short pieces don’t pop out over time.
Braided cross bun

Let me introduce the braided cross bun that still looks stylish even with a hat.
Take a suitable amount of hair and make a braid on each side.
Split the remaining hair into two sections and cross them as you tie them together with the braids.
After neatening the hair again with braids, tuck the braids into the loosened pocket and secure with an elastic to finish.
Using a cute hair tie as an accent is also recommended.
By gathering the hair lower, it will peek out from under a hat for an adorable look.
