✨ Easy Hair Tip 😍 Quick And Fun Styling Hack For Kids! 😀
Step 1
Find a clean well-lit spot and place the mirror so you can see your whole head.
Step 2
Brush all your hair gently to remove tangles and make it smooth.
Step 3
Clip the top and one side of your hair away so you have a small section ready to practice a braid.
Step 4
Make a basic three-strand braid on that small section and fasten the end with a hair tie.
Step 5
Practice the three-strand braid two more times on that section until it looks neat.
Step 6
Unclip the front top section and separate it into three parts to prepare a French braid.
Step 7
Braid the French braid by adding small pieces of hair into each strand as you move toward the back and secure with a hair tie.
Step 8
Unclip the remaining section and split it into two parts to practice a simple fishtail braid.
Step 9
Create a fishtail braid by crossing thin strands from each side into the opposite side and fasten the end with a hair tie.
Step 10
Gather all your hair into a neat ponytail using the brush to smooth it and fasten it with a hair tie.
Step 11
Wrap the three braids around the ponytail base or tuck their ends into the ponytail and secure them neatly with bobby pins.
Step 12
Practice running through the three braids and the ponytail once more so you feel ready to show each step.
Step 13
Record a tutorial where you demonstrate each braid and the ponytail step-by-step and say safety tips out loud like “be gentle” and “ask an adult for help if it hurts.”
Step 14
Share your finished hair styling tutorial on DIY.org

Help!?
What can I use if I don't have a mirror, bobby pins, or hair ties?
Prop a phone or tablet camera so you can see your whole head instead of a mirror, use small elastic hair ties or duckbill clips in place of bobby pins, and swap regular hair ties for scrunchies or small elastic bands to fasten braid ends.
My fishtail braid keeps coming apart or looks uneven—what should I try?
When you create the fishtail braid by crossing thin strands, make the sections thinner and tighter, clip the base to hold tension while you work, and lightly mist hair with water or dry shampoo so the strands grip before fastening the end with a hair tie.
How can I adapt this activity for younger or older kids?
For younger children, have an adult help with clipping the top and securing bobby pins when wrapping the braids around the ponytail (step 11), while older kids can repeat the three-strand and French braid practice (steps 4–6) more times or try advanced variations before recording.
How can we extend or personalize our hair styling tutorial?
Personalize the look by threading ribbons or beads into each braid before wrapping them around the ponytail base (step 11), record a time-lapse of your final run-through (step 12), and add your safety tip voiceover before sharing on DIY.org.
