Cute Hairstyles For Memorial Day
As a hairstylist with over a decade of experience, I understand the importance of finding the perfect hairstyle for any occasion. Memorial Day is no exception. This holiday is a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who have served our country. It’s also a time for barbecues, picnics, and spending time with loved ones. Whether you’re attending a casual cookout or a more formal gathering, I’ve got you covered with some cute hairstyles that are perfect for Memorial Day.
1. The Patriotic Ponytail
What better way to show your patriotism than with a cute and festive ponytail? Start by gathering your hair into a high ponytail and securing it with a hair tie. Then, take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the hair tie to hide it. Secure the wrapped section with a bobby pin. To add some patriotic flair, you can tie a red, white, and blue ribbon around the base of the ponytail. This hairstyle is simple, yet stylish, and is sure to turn heads at any Memorial Day gathering.
2. The Braided Crown
If you’re looking for a hairstyle that’s a bit more elegant, the braided crown is the perfect choice. Start by parting your hair down the middle and braiding two small sections on either side of your head. Once you’ve finished braiding, bring one braid across the top of your head and secure it with bobby pins. Repeat with the other braid, crossing it over the first braid and securing it with bobby pins. This hairstyle is not only beautiful, but it also keeps your hair off your face, making it ideal for outdoor Memorial Day activities.
3. The Beachy Waves
If you’re planning on spending Memorial Day at the beach or by the pool, why not embrace the laid-back vibes with some beachy waves? Start by applying a texturizing spray to damp hair and scrunching it with your hands. Then, use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer to enhance the natural waves. If you have straight hair, you can also use a curling iron or wand to create loose waves. Finish off the look with a spritz of sea salt spray for that effortless beachy look.
4. The Floral Updo
For a more romantic and whimsical look, try a floral updo. Start by curling your hair with a curling iron or wand to add texture. Then, gather your hair into a low ponytail and secure it with a hair tie. Twist the ponytail into a loose bun and secure it with bobby pins. Next, tuck in some fresh flowers or floral accessories around the bun to create a beautiful floral updo. This hairstyle is perfect for a garden party or a more formal Memorial Day gathering.
5. The Messy Bun
If you’re short on time or simply prefer a more effortless look, the messy bun is always a good choice. Start by gathering your hair into a high ponytail and securing it with a hair tie. Then, twist the ponytail around the base to create a bun, securing it with bobby pins as you go. Pull out a few pieces of hair around your face to frame it and give the bun a messy, undone look. This hairstyle is versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
