[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!
twin tails

Let’s master cute twin-tail hairstyles that neatly bring your hair together without needing difficult techniques.
You can change the vibe and purpose depending on how you tie them, how you style them, and where you position them.
Even though hairstyles tend to come loose over time no matter how tightly you tie them, there are tricks for twin-tails that hardly fall apart.
The key is to apply styling product thoroughly before tying, and to lightly press down the finished twin-tails with your hands.
If you prep with styling product and focus on these points, you’ll get twin-tails that won’t come undone—even during intense activity.

heart-shaped braid

A heart pattern appears at the back of the head! This chic braided hairstyle shows a strong attention to detail.
Section off the sides and the back of the head, tie the hair at the back into one ponytail, and split it into two sections.
While braiding those two sections, gradually pick up hair from the sides and add it in using a reverse (Dutch) braid.
Do the same on the opposite side, and finally gather everything into one low position.
You’ll get an adorable style with a bold impact thanks to the heart-shaped braid! Since it can get messy when putting on and taking off a hat, make sure to set it firmly once finished.
Ribbon-braided twin tails

Get pumped with a glamorous ribbon-woven hairstyle! This hair arrangement is sure to stand out at the sports day.
Roughly divide the hair into two sections, then create two braids on each side.
Gather each pair of braids into twin tails, and weave a ribbon through the space between them in a zigzag, as if stitching.
Add curls to the ends and bangs to finish, and you’ve got a gorgeous look.
Braids alone give a luxe impression, but adding a ribbon makes it feel even more special!
Rope-braided bun

A low bun hairstyle that lets you show your attention to styling even with a hat on! Gather your hair into a single ponytail at the back, split the tail into two sections, and twist them together into a rope braid.
Tie the ends with an elastic, wrap them around the base, gently loosen the bun, and pull up the crown for volume to complete a neat, stylish look.
Tying it directly at the back gives a more mature impression, but shifting the bun slightly to the side so it’s visible from the front also creates a cute finish.
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.
Dutch braid (reverse French braid)

Braided styles that don’t easily come undone are the perfect hair arrangement for a sports day full of vigorous movement! A French braid adds in strands from underneath as you go: when the added strand passes under the middle section to cross, that’s a Dutch braid; when it crosses over the top, that’s a French braid.
With either method, the keys are to section the hair thoroughly at the start and to work in a styling product before braiding.
It’s a recommended technique that can add a touch of glamour to your hairstyle, so be sure to master it!
In conclusion
We introduced some recommended hairstyles for elementary school sports day—was there any style you’d like to try? Changing your usual hairstyle can naturally make you feel more motivated.
Pick your favorite look, give it 120%, and make lots of great memories!
