7. Rainbow Balloon Fest
If you want a style that literally rises above the crowd, the rainbow balloon fest is the perfect choice. This design utilizes lightweight, colorful water balloons (inflated with air, not water!) to create a floating, festive look. Start by styling the short hair into several small, neat ponytails spaced evenly across the head. You can color each section with a different shade of temporary hair spray to create a rainbow gradient effect.
Tie small, colorful, inflated balloons directly to the elastic bands of each ponytail using soft thread or yarn. Because the balloons are filled with air and are extremely light, they will bounce and sway gently with every step your child takes, without causing any discomfort or pulling on the scalp. This high-energy, cheerful look is a visual masterpiece that translates beautifully in photographs.
