Pretty Criss Cross Updo for School
I’m all about easy school hairstyles for the hair. They’re just great go-to hairstyles to do when you’re trying to figure out what you want to do as a hairstyle in the morning. I’m all about having these hairstyles that you can lean on and depend on when you’re trying to figure out what to do.
I personally love this one because I think it looks so pretty from the back. It’s a simple hairstyle, yet it looks a lot more complicated to do than it actually is! I feel like those are the best kinds of hairstyles, too!

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.
