Crazy Hair Day Ideas 2021

Crazy hair day is all about having fun, being creative, and going wild with eye

Crazy hair day is all about having fun, being creative, and going wild with eye-catching and out-of-this-world hairstyles. There’s a massive variety of options, from dramatic and abstract – like Dr Seuss braids or glittery buns – to hairstyles inspired by animals and even food! Check out our selection of awesome crazy hair day ideas that your daughter will love.

1. Easy Crazy Hair Day Idea

If you’re short on time or aren’t confident with more elaborate hairstyling techniques, don’t worry. There are plenty of easy crazy hair day options that your daughter will love. One idea is a pumpkin look, which only takes a few minutes. All you need is a bun maker – also known as a hair donut or bun donut – which will quickly fold her hair into a rounded shape. Then, use temporary spray-on hair color to make it orange and add leaves from your yard, or faux leaves from a craft store, to make it look like a real pumpkin.

2. Crazy Hair Day For Short Hair

Not every crazy hair day style requires long hair. If your little girl has a short cut like a bob or lob, try a crazy look that only needs hair on top of her head to be styled. One idea is a lattice pattern, which you can create using hair ties and sectioning off the hair as you would for box braids. The lattice can be accessorized with pipe cleaners, ribbons, or flowers. A cool option is to add a toy spider, which will look like it’s sitting on a web.

3. Crazy Hair Day For Medium Hair

Medium hair is not usually long enough to create elaborate braids – but that doesn’t mean you can’t create a cool look for crazy hair day. Try putting your daughter’s hair up in twisted bunches, then add fun and colorful accessories. Curly pipe cleaners are particularly useful because they add to the twisty, topsy-turvy effect.

4. Unicorn

A unicorn hairstyle is a magical option for crazy hair day. It’s also surprisingly simple. To create the horn, scrunch and fold kitchen foil into the pointy shape and secure it to your daughter’s head with bobby pins. Alternatively, you could use a cardboard cone to help create the horn shape. Whatever base you choose, all you need to do next is wind her hair around it. Pull the rest into a high ponytail and add colorful spray-on hair color, colored clip-in hair extensions, or a big bow for a fun extra touch.

5. Cupcake Hair

For a cute, crazy hair day look, there’s nothing sweeter than cupcake buns. It’s the perfect option if your daughter loves dessert and wants a playful and girlie hairstyle that suits her personality. Even better, it’s a hairstyle that couldn’t be simpler to create. After sectioning her hair into two ponytails, cut a hole in the center of two paper cupcake liners and pull her hair through. Then twist the ponytails into buns and secure with a bobby pin. Next, spray on some hair color to create a ‘frosting’ effect. Finally, add a pom-pom on top of each ‘cupcake’ to look like a cherry.

6. Mermaid

Turn a simple French braid into something worthy of crazy hair day with a mermaid hairstyle. The braid itself is the mermaid’s tail, so make sure you spray it green or blue – while leaving the rest of your daughter’s hair its natural color. Create a fishtail effect by dividing the end of the braid into two ‘fins’ and using hairspray to help them stay in shape. Then, slide one of her dolls, like a Barbie, into the top of the braid, hiding the legs under the plaited section. The final hairstyle looks fantastic, and your daughter will love showing it off

7. Donut

Food – and particularly dessert – makes for great crazy hair day inspiration. Best of all, they are usually easy and quick to create. The donut on a plate hairstyle does require a bit more preparation than cupcake buns, but it looks good enough to eat! To make the donut look even more convincing, cut a hole in a paper plate, and slide it to the base of your daughter’s ponytail. Then, use a bun maker to create a smooth, round donut-shaped updo. For the perfect glazed finishing touch
