Cute Hairstyles For The Fourth Of July
As a hairstylist with over a decade of experience, I have seen countless clients come in with requests for cute hairstyles for special occasions. One event that always brings out the creativity in people is the Fourth of July. From barbecues to fireworks, this holiday is all about celebrating America’s independence in style. In this article, I will share some of my favorite cute hairstyles for the Fourth of July, along with tips on how to achieve them and some fun facts about the holiday.
1. Red, White, and Blue Braids
One of the most popular cute hairstyles for the Fourth of July is incorporating the colors of the American flag into your hair. One way to do this is by creating red, white, and blue braids. Start by sectioning your hair into three parts, then braid each section using colored hair extensions or ribbons. You can also add small American flag accessories or glitter to make the braids stand out even more. This hairstyle is not only festive but also keeps your hair out of your face during outdoor activities.
Pro tip:
If you don’t want to use hair extensions or ribbons, you can also use temporary hair color sprays in red, white, and blue to achieve the same patriotic look. Just make sure to follow the instructions on the spray can and protect your clothes and surroundings from any potential color transfer.
2. Starry Space Buns
If you’re looking for a hairstyle that is both cute and trendy, starry space buns are the way to go. Start by parting your hair down the middle and creating two high ponytails. Then, twist each ponytail into a bun and secure with bobby pins. To add a Fourth of July twist, use star-shaped hair accessories or glitter to decorate the buns. This hairstyle is not only adorable but also keeps your hair off your neck, perfect for those hot summer days.
Pro tip:
If you have shorter hair or want to add more volume to your buns, you can use clip-in hair extensions. Choose extensions that match your hair color and texture for a seamless blend.
3. Patriotic Ponytail with a Twist
If you prefer a more classic look, a patriotic ponytail with a twist is a great option. Start by gathering your hair into a high ponytail and securing it with a hair tie. Next, take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the hair tie to conceal it. Secure the wrapped section with bobby pins. To add a patriotic touch, use colored hair elastics in red, white, and blue to create small sections within the ponytail. This hairstyle is simple yet stylish, perfect for any Fourth of July celebration.
Pro tip:
If you want to add extra volume to your ponytail, you can tease the hair at the crown of your head before gathering it into a ponytail. This will create a fuller and more voluminous look.
4. Festive Floral Crown
If you’re attending a Fourth of July garden party or picnic, a festive floral crown is a cute and whimsical hairstyle choice. Start by creating a base using wire or a pre-made floral crown. Then, attach red, white, and blue flowers or ribbons to the base using floral wire or hot glue. You can also add small American flag decorations or sparklers for an extra festive touch. This hairstyle is not only adorable but also perfect for those who love a bohemian or romantic look.
Pro tip:
If you don’t have access to fresh flowers, you can use artificial flowers or silk flowers instead. These can be found at craft stores or online, and they will last longer than fresh flowers.
