4. The Googly Eye Monster
Turn short hair into a friendly, mischievous little monster with this incredibly simple and highly engaging idea. This style is particularly excellent for very short hair or pixie cuts where elaborate braiding or wrapping isn’t possible. Start by applying a strong-hold styling gel or colored hair wax—bright green, electric blue, or vibrant purple work wonders—to give the hair a textured, spiky, and slightly messy look.
Next, take various sizes of plastic googly eyes and glue them onto small hair clips or bobby pins using a hot glue gun beforehand. Once dry, scatter these eye clips all over the head, nesting them deep within the spiked hair. The result is a hilarious, multi-eyed creature peering out from a sea of colorful, textured hair. It is comfortable to wear, takes less than ten minutes to create, and is sure to bring giggles to the entire classroom.
