Back to cool: school-ready hairstyles and accessories

One of the toughest morning battles for parents is brushing their child's hair, especially when it's prone to tangles and tears. Enter the Tangle Teezer, a mini-sized detangling brush designed to make the process smoother and far less stressful. Its compact size makes it perfect for little hands, so your child can even start brushing their own hair. One parent shared their experience, saying, "Ordered this for my 3-year-old daughter as brushing her hair is a nightmare because of knots and tangles, and I didn’t even brush gently with this, she didn’t feel a thing. She actually enjoyed it. Slightly easier on wet hair, and it is quite small in size."

The 32 Colours Small Hair Rubber Bands with 16 Hair Styling Tools set is perfect for parents looking to create fun and tidy hairstyles for their children. With a wide variety of colourful elastics and practical styling tools included, it makes braiding and styling much easier. One parent shared their thoughts, saying, "This is a huge pack of mini hair elastics in loads of colours. Great for braiding the kids’ hair. Lots of accessories too like a range of combs which make sectioning much easier. It even comes with instructions on how to do different styles, all housed in a clear plastic case. It's a good pack and will last ages."

Perfect for little buns or ponytails, the Zulfaye Hair Bobbles are a great choice for thick or long hair. They are designed to be snag free and gentle, helping to prevent damage during use. Each pack includes 40 black bobbles, making them both practical and long-lasting. One customer shared their experience, saying, "Chose these based on the reviews and am very pleased. Buying hair bands on Amazon seems very random, I didn’t fancy a pack of 100, just wanted some good ones. Never heard of this brand before. It’s actually very good. Perfect stretchiness to hold up a ponytail or bun without feeling like you’re pulling for dear life. Really comfy to wear, nice colours."

This adorable assortment of hair accessories is ideal for children with red school uniform. The My School Hair Set Red matches red uniform perfectly, and comes with 16 assorted hair accessories that your child can choose from.

This adorable set of hair accessories is perfect for children who wear a red school uniform. The My School Hair Set in Red is designed to match perfectly and includes 16 assorted accessories for your child to choose from, making morning routines a little more fun and a lot less stressful. One parent shared their experience, saying, "Anyone with a daughter aged between say, 4 and 12 will understand the pain of finding a bobble in the morning. That home-based black hole of bobbles, clips, odd socks and any kind of accessory inevitably appears and these things go for a walk never to return. This set is perfect, 200 pieces meaning that we have at least 4 more days of neat tidy hair before they all go on holiday."

Trying to section your child’s hair with your fingers can feel nearly impossible when they’re constantly on the move. That’s where a Tail Comb comes in handy. With its long, pointed handle and fine teeth, it allows for precise parting and clean sections, making the styling process quicker and more manageable. Tail combs are especially useful for braiding, parting natural hair, or creating neat styles with less fuss. One customer shared their experience, saying, "Exactly what I wanted. My previous comb, which was made of hard plastic, broke. I like that these are made of ‘soft’ plastic but still hard enough to part my 4C hair. Really like that they come in a pack of three."

These plastic headbands are a great choice for little ones who are either starting school or heading back for a new term. Available in a range of colours and styles, they give children more independence and confidence in choosing how they want to style their hair each day. One parent shared their experience, saying, "Hair bands are robust and the smaller size is much better than adult-sized hair bands for my 3-year-old. Headbands don't catch individual hairs like cheaper brands. The over-the-head band is well made and attractive."

Adding a simple scrunchie can instantly elevate any hairstyle. These Colourful Elastic Velvet Hair Scrunchies are soft, comfortable, and perfect for finishing off a basic ponytail. They come in a generous pack of 40, offering plenty of options to match any outfit. One customer shared their experience, saying, "These go around my daughter’s thick hair twice or around a completed bun once. She wears them alongside stretchier scrunchies to keep her hair in place, and these are mostly for decoration. There is a great selection of colours, so I’m very happy with the price."
