It’s back to school this month (hooray) and back to the morning mayhem that is getting your kids ready for the day as quickly as Speedy Gonzales. 

On the 6 am checklist:

Teeth brushed? Check.

Uniform and shoes on? Check.

Books/lunchbox in the backpack? Check.

Hair styled? Uh oh!

As your little girl grows, so does her hair, and, boy, is it a mission to fix it in a way that won’t tie you up in a knot! If your kiddo is sporting a short hairdo this school semester then you’re in luck, but if they’ve medium-to-long hair - or worse, THICK/CURLY medium-to-long hair - well, may the Hairbrush Fairy be with you. 

Don’t fret when you see the tangled mess on your daughter’s head upon rising from her slumber; we’ve spoken to the Hairbrush Fairy and she’s pointed her wand at these adorable, five-minute hairstyles that might even allow your child to snooze for an extra five minutes every morning!
