2. The Rainbow Hair Bridge

“There is always a rainbow after the rain”, but not for this little lady! The ponytail is bent to the side forming an arch and to complete the imagery, the cotton serves as the clouds and a series of coloured hair strips are tied in a spiral in the ponytail.

The hair is grouped into three and is pulled in several directions.

Regardless of what she might have gone through, this kid is absolutely happy!

7. A Thousand Clips

This hair is straight-all-tied up! Any available hair clips will do, just clip it in your hair neatly and you are good to go. This is a great crazy hair style that the kids can do themselves!  Grab cheap clips from your local cheap shop or chemist.
