Crazy hair day is a favorite school activity, but it can be a little stressful, especially if you remember the morning of, so I am sharing some ideas using pipe cleaners. If you have kids odds are you have at least a few of these around! Many of these ideas have links to tutorials, some are just the idea to use as a starting point for your own creativity. Today we will focus on crazy hair day using pipe cleaners for boys and girls. Let’s get crazy!
General Craziness
Pipe cleaners on their own are pretty crazy. They are colorful and bendy. Follow these inspired kiddos example and use them to create a crazy hair style.
I love this idea for any kiddos with short hair. What a great way for them to still participate in crazy hair day! It is also perfect if you have a child that doesn’t want to sit for a long time or that is bothered by their hair being up in an odd hairstyle. Here is a link to a quick tutorial on Instagram.
It’s an alien, it’s a monster, it’s crazy hair day! This is just the right level of wacky and easy enough for even a hair novice to do.
Adding pipe cleaners to any hair style can pump it up to crazy hair day levels!
