Crazy hair day ideas

Quick crazy hair day looks made with elastics, gel and hair chalk, shown from every side with the steps.

These looks are made with elastics, gel and hair chalk, and shown on adults so you can see each one from every side before doing it on your own or your child's hair. The Upside-Down Ponytail Fountain ties all the hair on top of the head and gels the ends stiff so they fan out, in five to ten minutes. The Mini Ponytail Grid parts the top into small squares, each tied with a coloured elastic, in fifteen to twenty-five minutes.

Rainbow Chalk Streaks colour four or five thin strands at the front with hair chalk, each in a different shade, in ten to twenty minutes, and wash out with one shampoo. Space Buns with Glitter Roots are two high buns with glitter along the part, in five to ten minutes.

Each page lists the steps in order, ending with what to change if the look will not hold.

Before you start

  • Use only colour made for hair, such as hair chalk or a wash-out colour spray.
  • Test any new colour product on a small patch of skin 48 hours before, following the instructions on the pack.
  • Never put glue in hair: it is not made for hair and may not come out.
