*How to Get a Haircut That Fits Your Personality
It's hard to express yourself at any school, especially uniformed or religiously oriented ones- but your hairstyle can convey anything about you, from anarchist to art student. Learn how to style your hair for every day, quickly, and you're halfway there.
Steps
Determine what your hair color is (just check in a mirror) and what compliments it. Try on a uniform or casual outfit of the type that you'd wear, and cover the collar with a towel if you're using a pomade, streaking dye or gel.
Brainstorm what you want to convey. Hair can be a useful canvas uncut but if you want it shorter or longer you might want to try a cut a few months in advance of the actual school opening date to see how you like it.
Gather your supplies. Clean hair (But not too clean, maybe washed yesterday evening is good) is an obvious necessity, and any other basic styling products (Gel, mousse, hair lotion or conditioner) are good, plus any accessories you might choose to wear.
Sit down in front of a mirror, and part your hair. Pull back long hair if you want it styled like that, or dampen a hair brush and run it through your hair to tame frizzes. A straight part is good for clear skin but it draws attention to your nose and lips, which might not be good on a day where you have a massive zit, for instance. Choose your part according to your face shape, and you can find more about that elsewhere.
Talk to a stylist or family member on how to choose details of your hairstyle. Long, straight hair may need extra maintenance or more shower time, and short hair is, though less work, often a hassle if you want to dress up.
Style your hair how you like it, but not too extreme. Dye jobs should be done at a salon, and curling irons ought to be used with care- if at all.
Talk with someone experienced on streaking your hair. Your hair says a lot about you, for good or for ill. Long, straight black hair on a normally pale, fair person may give people the impression that you're Goth or depressed, but bottle blonde waves on a small, normal-looking girl looks totally fake. African-American girls can style their hair the same way, with no problems, but very light colored, straight hair may send a message that you're trying to look too preppy. Short haircuts that are boblike are often percieved as little-girly, but shorter, more masculine cuts may make people think of you as an 'angry dyke'-type, even if you're perfectly straight and just don't like to comb all your hair!
Don't make it too elaborate. Remember- 10 minutes or less is good for hairstyling, if you're taking more- you'll be late for school, work or wherever you're headed.
Tips
A little tinted spiking gel adds sass to plain bangs, be sure to check with your uniform regulations first!
Pretty pins are cute and cheap. You can decorate old pins from the mall or from garage sales with paint, beads or flowers.
Headbands are cute- not to mention they tame long tresses.
Warnings
Don't- fry your hair with straighteners without asking for help first.
Don't bleach your hair alone- get help!
Express yourself- but don't go overboard with clips, pins or streaks, which may detract from a more complicated style.

This is the easiest hair do ever.
step 1) brush it
step 2) let it hang loose!
if you have PE wear a hairband on your wrist and put it up in a pony tail when you get to PE
if you get tired of your hairstyle during the day,
wrap it around and around
then stick a pencil or smooth pen through a little hair on your head
stick it through the wound up hair
then stick it through some more hair on the other side
P.S. pretty much anything works for school
