Hair hack video: simple style for kids that anyone in the family can do

There are lots of simple styles that even dads can help with! If your daughter has static hair, before diving right in with a bucket of product, he can lightly spray a hairbrush with some low strength hairspray and brush through to tame any fly-aways.

Plaits can be a little tricky so unless he sees himself as a secret hair wizard, try gathering two pieces of hair at the front, twisting them individually to the back of your child’s head as shown in the video above. Secure the twists with a couple of bobby pins (if you put them wobbly side down, they’ll grip better).

Spraying a clean toothbrush with hairspray to deal with any tricky flyaways can also help. If you are feeling adventurous you can create some additional twists using the remainder of the hair, and remember – cute accessories can cover all manner of sins so don’t be afraid to keep things simple and let a couple of nice clips or matching ribbons do the talking.
