Unicorn Crazy Hair Do
Girls of all ages adore unicorn hair. Yet, unlike a regular ombre in pastel colors that mimics the unicorn’s mane and tail, for Wacky Hair Day, you want to take it to a whole new level. If you are after rather easy Crazy Hair Day ideas, then you may get away with a unicorn headband, which usually features a golden horn, unicorn ears and some cute embellishments. However, those who feel a bit more creative and have some time on their hands should try to make a horn right on the child’s head using their hair. Make a cone of cardboard to use as a base and wrap the front section of hair around it. To secure the unicorn hair, use a bunch of bobby pins and a generous amount of strong hold hair spray, ideally with glitter and a hint of color.

They should not be even or neat. Instead, do not brush your hair beforehand so that it looks really crazy. Adorn the tails with ribbons, twists or other hair accessories. No matter what you are going to choose, make sure it is vivid and eye-catching. Alternatively, you can go with a single ponytail tied right on top of the head and secured with colorful elastic bands.

Messy School Crazy Hair Vibes
Usually, hairstyles for girls should be neat and polished but not when it is Crazy Hair Day. A full head of messy hair is a staple of wacky hairstyles. To get it, you may simply tease the hair at the roots and brush it up afterward. Wrap it around the pencil so that the hairstyle keeps the shape. To enhance the wackiness of the look, randomly stick colorful pencils into the hair. In addition to looking wild and crazy, it will also provide extra support.

Cupcake Hair Do
Among all Crazy Hair Day ideas, a cupcake hairstyle is arguably the most popular. While it looks pretty intricate, it is actually very easy to create. First, you need to tie a high ponytail. Then, cut out a hole in a cupcake liner and pull the pony through it. Twist the hair and wrap it around its base. Fasten the bun in place using hairpins. Add embellishments to your liking. Optionally, you may also place a colorful brightly colored plate underneath the bun.

Stand Up Crazy Hair Day Ideas
Remember Pippi Longstocking? Her hair is a pure example of crazy easy hairstyles. The main feature of the style is two braids sticking up into the air. To ensure they hold the shape, you should use a thick wire, which you are going to hide into the hair. Before braiding the locks, place the wire across your daughter’s head so that it curves the crown and reaches the tips on both sides. Then braid the wire into the hair adding it to one of the strands. Bend the wired braid to achieve the desired shape and your girl is all set.

The majority of Halloween hairstyles for girls will work for Crazy Hair Day too. So, if you want your daughter to really stand out in the crowd, create a spider buns hairstyle on her head. While it may seem a bit intimidating, to get the look, you will need to tie two buns on top and braid several braids to imitate spider legs. Pin them to the head with bobby pins and attach cardboard eyes for a more realistic look.
