Back to School Hairstyles

Published: 13 Sep, 2023

The new school terms bring the perfect opportunity for mums to give primary school girls’ hair a makeover and for preteens to discover their own sense of style while teens inject a little pizzazz and unique personality to break the monotony of uniform wearing.

From pretty meets cute to elegant and preppy, keep tresses tamed, tangles tidy and nits out of reach with the perfect plait. The trend of the moment, there are countless ways to embrace the braid – pulled tight for a polished, together with feel, or ruffled with escaping tendrils for the prettiest romantic flair.

French plaits, side fishtails, halo braids, the looks around pretty plaiting possibilities are pretty much endless.

Or how about the fashion blogger’s favourite, the ultimate messy bun? The quickest scoop and go, perfect for rushed early mornings. The best part? This look works best on unwashed hair, simply spritz with dry shampoo for extra grip and dreamy textured finish.

If coloured hair is allowed in class, why not experiment with a hit of playful hue too? A candyfloss hit of faded pink or subtle lilac slice looks gorgeous weaved through plaits and perky ponies, instantly injecting a quirky twist to give a true sense of ‘you.’ Although it might be best to keep it to sun-kissed or warm autumn tones if your school has a strict hair colour rule. Or keep fun colours strictly to high days and holidays!

For a school bag essential following a long day of lessons, carry a handy can of Pureology Fresh Approach dry shampoo to absorb oil and perk up lagging locks between washes. And be sure to prep hair with Pureology Super Smooth shampoo and conditioner, smoothing cream and relaxing serum to keep frizz at bay and detangle thanks to its unique blend of camellia oil, sesame oil and shea butter. Eliminating nightmare bed hair to give you more space to breathe on time-pressed early mornings. All are available at Cutting Club from our in a take-home product range.
