As we gear up to celebrate the Fourth of July, it’s the perfect time to show off your patriotic spirit with festive hairstyles and colors. Whether you’re attending a BBQ, watching fireworks, or just enjoying the holiday with family and friends, your hair can be a fun way to express your love for the red, white, and blue. At Studio Be Salon, we’re here to help you shine with these fabulous ideas for Fourth of July hair!
Patriotic Hair Colors
1. Bold Red Highlights: Red highlights are a striking way to add a pop of patriotic color to your hair. Whether you opt for subtle streaks or bold chunks, red highlights can be tailored to suit any hair type and color.
2. Cool Blue Ombre: A blue ombre look can be a show-stopper. Starting with darker roots and gradually fading into a vibrant blue at the tips, this style is perfect for making a statement at any Independence Day celebration.
3. White Blonde Locks: Embrace the “white” in red, white, and blue with a stunning platinum blonde look. This color not only looks fresh and clean but also serves as the perfect base for adding temporary red and blue accents for the holiday.
Festive Hairstyles
1. Braided Beauty: Incorporate small braids into your hairstyle for a chic and festive look. Try a Dutch braid crown or a simple braided headband, and weave in red, white, and blue ribbons for an extra touch of patriotism.
2. Sparkling Accessories: Hair accessories can transform any hairstyle into a festive masterpiece. Consider adding star-shaped clips, glittery hairpins, or even a patriotic headband to your look.
3. Wavy Wonder: Beachy waves are always in style, especially for summer celebrations. Use a sea salt spray to create loose, effortless waves and add a touch of sparkle with a glittery hair spray for a festive finish.
4. High Ponytail with Flair: A high ponytail is both stylish and practical for hot summer days. Elevate this look by wrapping a red, white, and blue scarf around the base of your ponytail for a chic and patriotic twist.
5. Space Buns: Space buns are a fun and playful hairstyle perfect for the Fourth of July. Add a patriotic touch by incorporating red, white, and blue hair ties or ribbons. You can even sprinkle a bit of glitter on the buns for extra sparkle.
6. Starry Half-Updo: Create a whimsical half-up, half-down hairstyle and decorate it with star-shaped clips or pins. This look is perfect for those who want a subtle yet festive style.
Temporary Hair Color for the Bold
If you’re not ready to commit to a permanent color change, temporary hair color sprays are a fantastic option. These products allow you to experiment with vibrant colors that wash out easily, giving you the freedom to enjoy the holiday without any long-term commitment.
For a longer-lasting but still temporary option, consider our semi-permanent color products at Studio Be Salon. Our semi-permanent colors provide vibrant, fun hues that typically wash out after 4-6 washes, giving you the chance to enjoy a new look for the holiday without a permanent change. These colors are perfect for adding a touch of red, white, and blue to your hair while still being able to return to your natural shade later.
Stay Safe This Fourth of July
While we love celebrating with style, it’s important to stay safe this holiday. Remember to protect your hair and skin from the sun by wearing a hat and using sunscreen, and be cautious around fireworks.
At Studio Be Salon, we wish you a fun, festive, and safe Fourth of July. Whether you’re looking to add a touch of color or need help styling your hair for the holiday, our expert stylists are here to help. Book your reservation today and let us help you shine this Independence Day!
