Cute Updo for School that’s Easy
I know whenever I’m doing hairstyles on Victoria for school or really for anything, she doesn’t want to be sitting for more than 15-20 minutes. She just doesn’t want to and I understand that. It’s important to make sure you have hairstyles that can be done quickly and easily.
I’m all about trying to have hairstyles that work for school, sports, and everything else that a child does! I love updos for school because there’s a lot of running around and I think it’s best to keep the hair up and out of the face. This cute updo for school that’s easy is one should definitely try!

Step-by-step hair tutorial:
- Start by hair tying 2 small sections of hair on each side of the head. Make sure they’re as even as can be.
- I use hairstyling cream to smooth these sections down to make it easier to braid.
- Three-strand braid down each one of those sections a little bit more than half way.
- Take the rest of the hair and (if you want) add hairstyling cream and then create a ponytail.
- Fold the braids into the ponytail and hair tie.
- I then create bubble braids down the tail of the ponytail. The trick here is – add the hair elastics and then gently pull on the section to create your bubble.
- You can add ribbons or bows to make it extra festive!
As you can see, it’s a sweet one and comes out looking so cute and pretty! I just love this cute updo for school.
Hair Products To Use on this Hairstyle
Here are the hair products that I used for this particular hairstyle.
HAIR ELASTICS
These are the Teenitor hair elastics I’ve been using lately. I was recommended to use them and couldn’t wait to give them a try. Victoria’s hair is on the thicker side, so I need to make sure I have hair elastics that will hold the hair and be extra durable. I also want to make sure the hair elastics won’t damage or crease the hair.
- Strong and stretchy: The elastics are not so thin that they break when you try to stretch, but they are not so thick that you can’t stretch them properly. They have stayed in very fine, soft hair through days of gardening. Also, they slide off the braids when grabbed and pull off clean. No rolling and catching the hair to make knots.
- Great deal: This is a great deal on 2000 pieces clear rubber elastic hair bands, enough for braiding different hairstyles. You can keep a couple dozen in your purse, another couple dozen in your gym bag, some in your car…you get the idea. Any time you realize you need a hair tie, you’ll have a stash.
The best part is that you get 2000 for under $7!

HAIR STYLING CREAM
It’s the one question I get asked the most lately, and I love it. It’s important to make sure you prep the hair before you create a hairstyle. I love to use hair styling cream because I know it will help to keep the hair smooth and shiny.
I prefer using Dae Hair Styling Cream.
