Ponytail made only with a topsy tail
Recommended for kids with long hair! Here are ponytail ideas using only the topsy tail.
When children with long hair exercise, even if you put their hair up in a ponytail, the long ends can still fall onto their faces.
With this tying method, their faces stay clear even with long hair, making it perfect for sports days! The number of hair ties you need depends on hair length, but using colorful elastics makes it look extra cute.
It’s easy because the only step is to flip the hair through (the topsy step), so 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.
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!
ponytail

A ponytail, whose impression changes greatly depending on where you tie it, is a simple and classic hairstyle! Tie it high for a lively, energetic look, or tie it low while loosening some hair at the top and sides for a relaxed, sophisticated vibe.
If you want to show your enthusiasm for a sports day, a neatly tied high ponytail is recommended.
However, if it’s too high, it can look like a bump under a hat, so it’s best to choose a position that works well with the hat.
onion hair

Let’s boost your mood and have fun with a cute, eye-catching hairstyle for sports day.
We’re going to create a “bubble (onion) ponytail” that looks adorable, keeps hair neat, and is perfect for intense activity.
It’s more stylish and unique than just tying your hair back with one elastic, and because no hair falls around your face or neck, it also feels clean and tidy.
Tie your hair into one or two ponytails, then secure them at intervals with small elastics.
Gently pinch and puff out the sections between the elastics to create round, onion-like bubbles—and you’re done.
The plump, rounded shape is super cute.
Enjoy your sports day with a fun hairstyle!
braided twin tails

Enjoy your sports day with braided twin tails—a hairstyle that won’t get in the way of exercising and looks neat and cute.
When you run or dance, long hair inevitably gets messy.
Even if you tie it the way you usually do, vigorous movement can cause it to fall apart.
In those cases, tightly securing your hair with finely sectioned braids will keep even the shorter strands from flying around and becoming a nuisance.
It also keeps the hair around your face neat, makes it easier to wear hats or headbands, and the stylish look is cute—your friends might love it too.

Braided-style arrangement using hair ties
https://www.tiktok.com/@aya772599/video/7424486340957424903If a regular three-strand braid isn’t enough for you, this hair arrangement is for you! Try braiding elastic bands together with your hair.
It looks complicated, but once you get the hang of it, it’s actually easy.
First, take two long, string-like hair elastics, layer them, and tie them together in a bow to make one large loop.
Next, put your hair into pigtails, hold the elastics so that the bow is at the bottom, and thread one side of the pigtail hair through while splitting it into two sections.
Finally, tie off the elastic to match your hair length, and you’re done.
Repeat the same steps on the other side.
It’s also cute to change up the thickness or color of the elastics!
