25 Cute, Easy Back-to-School Hairstyles for Girls That Anyone Can Do (2024)

Nothing says "I'm ready for school!" quite like these adorable braids. Double Dutch braids are also known as the reverse French braid. You can braid hair all the way down, or copy Skai Jackson and secure the style under the ears.

If she's been complaining about her long hair, consider getting a chop similar to Rowan Blanchard's longer pixie cut. And no matter what length she has, tying a ribbon adds flair to any hairstyle.

Instead of brushing your daughter's hair back into a half ponytail, first add a deep side part and section off the hair framing her face. Then, pin each section behind her ears. Afterwards, pull her back as usual — and voilà! You're left with a fun new way to style her half-up, half-down hair, like Maddie Ziegler.

She'll feel like a queen when she walks through the hallways wearing this timeless braided updo, especially if you throw in a few cute beaded hair clips, as seen on Marsai Martin of Black-ish.

If her hair is on longer side, try pulling her low ponytail over one side of her shoulder. Don't forget to use bobby pins to secure the hair along the nape of her neck — like Isabella Gomez from One Day at a Time!

Looking for a new way to give your hair some oomph? Take a note from This Is Us's Mackenzie Hancsicsak and part your daughter's hair down the middle. Then, pull the front pieces out and braid them.

If she's dying to copy your go-to hairstyles, throw her hair into this polished (and slightly messy) topknot. She looks a little more sophisticated just as Maisy Stella does here, and her updo will keep her hair out of her face so she can focus on schoolwork.

Take your pigtails to the next level with this super sleek pair, just like Brooklynn Prince. For even more style, wrap one piece around the elastic.

Because sometimes you don't have the energy to fully commit. We get it. Braid two pieces of hair on both sides of her part and secure them together. Easy, breezy, and oh so sweet (just like Chilling Adventures of Sabrina's Kiernan Shipka!).

Some girls want to wear a ponytail everyday. If that sounds strangely familiar, then try out Nickelodeon star Madisyn Shipman's look by adding fun — and edgy — flair to the classic style by twisting wire — silver, gold, copper and more — around 1-inch of hair.

Here's proof that bobby pins can be just as beautiful as butterfly clips and glittery bows. Seriously, how chic does Marsai Martin look?!
