It was Spirit Day at school and the children were asked to wear “crazy” hairstyles to school. My daughter has long hair so I did a few braids, a few pony tails, looped some of the hair, and used many scrunchies. This is the photo I took of the detail as seen from the back of her head.

I joined in the fun and did my hair similar to that of my daughter’s. She loved that I was participating – as did my students! It was a fun day with many original hairstyles. What a pity they were all covered up as we stepped outside into a cold winter’s day.
Do you ever wear a “crazy” hairstyle?
(This post was inspired by the Weekly Photo Challenge prompt: Lost in the Details)
Your daughter has lovely thick hair, Colline. It must have been fun to hairdress-up like that.
Once I went to a Crazy Hair Party. Added many extentions in PINK to my hair with something that looked like gum. Chewing gum. But it was especially for hair. The day after, I couldn’t get them out though: the gum was stuck to my rather thin hair.
In utter despair I ran to my neighbor and she helped me to comb them out, after applying lots of olive oil to my hair.
The worst part is that I hate pink. It was horror
Now that must have looked like fun
(Do you have a picture?)
I am always thankful to people like your neighbour who always seem to know useful tips on how to save the day!
Alas no pictures of that. But I’d love to see a picture of you and your hair on Spirit Day, in detail!
Unfortunately mine came out a bit blurry
I am sure there will be another occasion though.
Beautiful hairstyle…
Have a great weekend, Colline… !
Thank you Bams. Hope you have a good one too

I wish I could! I have short, grey hair. I like to do it funky, but it laasts exactly 10 minutes (We live close to the sea)
The boys with short hair at school got very creative with coloured hairspray resulting in some very interesting do’s
Fun! Once I dressed up as an OLD lady to give a presentation in college. I pulled my hair into a bun and powdered it WHITE. As I walked across campus, no one recognized me. It’s fun being incognito.
It is interesting to see how differently people respond to you as well when you look different. And all you have changed is your hair!

Pingback: WPC Tibet | What's (in) the picture?
Wild and woolly! My normal style is crazy. My hair tends to do a Dagwood thing.
The antithesis to mine which is long and straight, very straight!
I’d love to see some of the other kids hair do’s… Did you photograph them?
Unfortunately I left my camera at home that day (recharging batteries). This event does happen once a year though
A change in hairstyle can really do wonders isn’t it?
Oh yes it can – in the way you look, feel, and the way in which people perceive you.
Her hair is beautiful, Colline. Well done. I bet your daughter was thrilled!
She loves it when I play with her hair

Looks adorable.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thank you Francine. I thought so too – but then I am biased
Lot’s of detail. I have never intentionally have worn a crazy hairstyle.
When I was a kid my mother would braid my bangs into to sections, then turn them in the shape of a rounded “w” and clamp it to the rest of my hair with a hair clip that matched my outfit of the day. I wish I had a photo to show. It’s hard to describe. It was definitely uniquely my look.
What an imaginative way to get your hair out of your eyes
How fun to do her hair like that! I have curly hair, so my hair is pretty much crazy all the time. The worst was the late 80s though, with the tall, hairsprayed bangs.
I remember those days – and how we envied those people who could create those bangs. At least now my absolutely straight hair no matter what I do is now in fashion
This is wonderful, Blessing and Happiness to you all, Thanks and Love, nia
Thank you Nia.

Awwww. Look how pretty her hair is. I wish I could have been there to see!
My crazy hair day? The entire 1980′s! Remember the big hair days? I laugh now when I look at the photo’s from the past.
Yes, all the flics (what we in South Africa called those big bangs), the teased hair and the hairspray! I do admit I prefer the smoother styles of today.
What a wonderful time for the two of you…her hair is just stunning.
Long, shiny, healthy hair that she does not want to change by perming and colouring
Beautiful and creative.
And she wore her head of hair so proudly on that day
Sounds like quite a colourful and interesting day for the students at school, not much the boys could do I suppose other than spiky or coloured hair, overall must have been fun.

Plenty of spikes on that day. It was good to see the boys join in the fun
