Simple Waves
Simple waves are a go-to for a reason. They just have that effortless, cool-girl look that fits right in at a country show. This style is perfect if you want something pretty but don’t want to spend hours getting ready. Just grab your curling iron or wand, add some loose waves, and you’re good to go. A little texturizing spray can help them last all night, even with a little dancing.
Half-Up Half-Down
The half-up half-down is so versatile! It works for pretty much any hair length and texture. I love this style because it keeps some hair out of your face while still letting you show off your length. You can make it fancy by adding a twist or a cute clip where the two sections meet. It’s a great balance of practicality and style.
Low Ponytail
Sometimes, simple is best. A low ponytail is super practical for keeping your hair tidy, but it doesn’t have to be boring. You can wrap a piece of hair around the elastic for a polished look or add some waves or texture to the ponytail itself. It’s effortlessly chic and lets your outfit and boots shine.
High Ponytail
If you plan on dancing the night away, a high ponytail is your friend! It keeps your hair securely out of the way and gives off a really energetic vibe. Make sure you use a strong elastic to keep it in place through all the singing and moving. A little backcombing at the crown before gathering your hair can add some height and drama.
Bubble Ponytail
Okay, the bubble ponytail is just plain fun! It’s a trendy take on a regular ponytail that adds a playful touch. You just secure your ponytail, then add elastics down the length, pulling the sections in between to create those “bubbles.” A little gentle pulling can make the bubbles look fuller and more dramatic.
Space Buns
Space buns are perfect if you want a cute, youthful look that keeps your hair completely off your neck. They’re great for warmer weather concerts! You can keep them neat and high or make them a little messier and lower. Adding some glitter spray or fun colored hair extensions wrapped around the base of the buns is a fun concert touch.
Twisted Half-Up
This is an elegant and simple option. Instead of braiding the top sections, you just twist them back and secure them. It’s super easy to do and looks really pretty from the back. Make sure you use bobby pins that match your hair color to hide them and keep the twists looking clean and secure.
Braided Half-Up
Adding a braid to your half-up style instantly gives it a touch of country charm. You can do a simple three-strand braid, a rope braid, or even a small fishtail braid. Pin it back cleanly, and you’ve got a lovely look. Pulling gently on the edges of the braid before pinning can make it look thicker and more noticeable.
Fishtail Braid
A fishtail braid looks really intricate, but it’s actually not that hard once you get the hang of it! It’s a beautiful alternative to a standard braid and has a lovely texture. If a full fishtail feels like too much, you could do a smaller accent fishtail braid within another style. After you finish braiding, gently pull on the sides of the braid to loosen it up and give it a softer, fuller appearance.
Side Braid
A side braid has a relaxed and romantic feel that’s perfect for a country concert. It keeps your hair mostly out of your face while still letting it flow over one shoulder. Try adding some volume at the crown before starting the braid to give the style more height and presence.
Crown Braid
Feeling a little regal? A crown braid is a beautiful way to keep your hair up and off your neck. It involves braiding sections of hair around your head, creating a halo effect. It takes a little practice, but the result is stunning. Use small bobby pins tucked underneath the braid to keep it securely in place all night long.
