[For Elementary School Kids] Recommended Hairstyles for Sports Day That Bring Out the Motivation (21–30)
kururinpa twin tails

Neatly tied twin tails can easily look childish, but if you create a zigzag part, tie them, and add a topsy-tail twist, they instantly become a stylish hairstyle! Use a comb or your fingertips to make the part and split all your hair into two sections, then secure each with an elastic.
Leave a gap above the elastic, flip the hair from back to front through the gap (topsy-tail), and gently loosen the knots, the crown, and the sides to adjust.
You’ll have chic twin tails that give off a relaxed vibe—even with a hat on!
braided pigtails

A braided pigtail style is a hair arrangement that keeps things neat so it won’t get in the way during exercise, while also showing off some style! It adds a lively vibe too, making it perfect for sports day.
Roughly divide all your hair into two sections and braid each one.
If you lightly work in some styling product beforehand, you can braid cleanly to the end without short strands popping out along the way.
If the tapered, tight look at the ends bothers you, gently loosen the braids to add some volume.
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!

Introducing twin pigtails with four braids that are sure to make you stand out at the sports day! First, split the hair into two sections, then further divide each side into three strands.
Of the three strands, tie together the two outer strands, leaving the middle one as is, and flip the tied section through (a topsy tail).
Thread a ribbon through that section and tie it into a bow, leaving the ribbon tails long.
Next, divide the hair into two sections and create two three-strand braids on that side, including one ribbon tail in each braid.
This completes two braids on one half of the head.
Repeat the same steps on the other side and you’re done! If you want to stand out from the crowd, definitely give this a try.

No time, but want something cute? Here’s a quick hair arrangement I recommend.
First, make a ponytail and split it into two big sections.
Tie the ends of each section with an elastic near the bottom.
Open a hole in the center of one section to make a loop, then pass the other section through the loop and twist.
Repeat this a few times.
Finally, gather everything together and tie it into one, then gently pull out small sections to loosen it for a soft finish—done! It’s simple, yet it looks like an advanced hairstyle.
Give it a try!

You can do this even with a bob! Here’s an easy hair arrangement using a ribbon that will really make you stand out at the sports festival.
It’s hat-friendly and resists getting messed up, so definitely give it a try.
You’ll need a bit of practice with braiding, but if you have a thin ribbon, you can quickly create a cute style.
Master the braid and give it a go! The mood changes with the ribbon color, so it’s fun to look for one you like.
Of course, it’s also great for long hair.
