1. Unicorn Magic
Transform your girl’s hair into a magical unicorn mane! You’ll need a hair cone or a simple rolled-up piece of cardboard as the base for the unicorn horn, which you can secure at the top of her head using bobby pins. Braid or wrap the rest of her hair around the horn and use colorful temporary hair sprays to add pinks, purples, and blues. Finish with some glitter for a truly magical effect.
Visual tip: A whimsical rainbow with a horn at the center, paired with glitter highlights, creates the perfect unicorn look.
2. Cupcake Hair Delight
Turn your girl’s hair into a sweet treat! For this style, make a high bun on the top of her head. Then, wrap a paper cupcake liner around the bun to mimic the cupcake base. Add some fake cherries or pom-poms on top and drizzle colorful ribbons or pipe cleaners to resemble sprinkles.
Visual tip: The cupcake liner should be bright and fun, with a small “cherry” pom-pom for that final touch of sweetness.
3. Spider Web Hair
Perfect for Halloween season or just some spooky fun, the spider web look is surprisingly easy. Part the hair into sections and use black pipe cleaners to craft spider legs, attaching them throughout her hair. Use a hair donut for a high bun to make the “body” of the spider, adding googly eyes for personality. You can even wrap a bit of white yarn around the bun to create a spider web effect.
Visual tip: Think of a spooky spider perched in the hair, with fake webs delicately draped around the bun.
4. The Donut Bun
For a sweet and playful look, turn her hair into a donut! Start by creating a simple sock bun (a bun that uses a rolled-up sock or a hair donut accessory). Once the bun is secure, spray-paint the hair with brown or pink temporary color to mimic frosting. Add colorful hair accessories or craft store foam pieces as “sprinkles.”
Visual tip: Pink “frosting” with oversized “sprinkles” adds a playful, vibrant look that screams fun.
5. Mermaid Hair
Channel the under-the-sea vibes with mermaid hair. Using different shades of blue and green temporary spray or hair chalk, color her hair to resemble the ocean waves. Incorporate small seashells, pearls, or starfish hair accessories throughout the hair, and try a fishtail braid for added authenticity.
Visual tip: A mix of ocean blues and waves of curls with starfish and seashell accents captures the perfect undersea adventure.
6. Flower Garden Hair
Turn her hair into a blooming garden! Start by creating multiple small braids or twists all around the head. Then, weave in faux flowers, leaves, and vines. The goal is to have her hair look like a lush garden of wildflowers, with blooms sprouting from all angles.
Visual tip: Use large, colorful artificial flowers to make the garden come to life—perfect for a spring-themed crazy hair day.
7. Soda Bottle Hair
This one is sure to get some laughs! You’ll need an empty soda bottle and a straw to create the illusion that her hair is “pouring” soda into a cup. First, secure the bottle near the top of her head with bobby pins or hair ties. Then, braid her hair around the bottle and down toward the “cup” (which you can craft from paper or use an actual plastic cup). Add in a straw sticking out from the side.
Visual tip: A brightly colored soda bottle with her hair flowing out like fizzy liquid into a cup creates a wild, memorable look.
8. Space Buns Alien Style
For an out-of-this-world look, space buns are the way to go. Create two high buns on either side of her head and use pipe cleaners to attach googly eyes or mini alien antennas to each bun. Temporary glitter spray can add some extra galactic sparkle.
Visual tip: Bright green glitter spray and googly eyes make this alien-inspired style both fun and futuristic.
9. Octopus Hair
Turn her hair into a sea creature by shaping it like an octopus! Make a bun at the top of the head, and create “tentacles” by braiding sections of the hair and letting them hang down. Use googly eyes or stickers on the bun for the octopus’ face, and curl the tentacles slightly for added movement.
Visual tip: Bold-colored braids paired with oversized googly eyes give the octopus a playful yet “crazy” appeal.
10. Rainbow Braids
Bright, colorful, and totally mesmerizing! Divide her hair into small sections and braid each one, spraying them with different colors of temporary hair dye. When the braids are finished, you’ll have a head full of rainbow-hued magic. Add in colorful beads or clips to each braid for extra flair.
Visual tip: The bright colors flowing through each braid create a head-turning, magical rainbow effect.
Crazy Hair Day is all about fun and creativity, so feel free to experiment with wild ideas that reflect your girl’s personality. Whether it’s unicorns, cupcakes, or aliens, there’s a crazy hairstyle here that will make her the star of the day!
Bonus Tip: Pair any of these styles with matching face paint or themed accessories (like unicorn horns, fairy wings, or space goggles) to really complete the look.
