There’s nothing quite like the buzz of a college football game day! The energy is electric, the crowd is roaring, and of course, you want your look to match that excitement. As Ella Kohn from I absolutely love helping you find ways to feel your most confident and stylish. Game days are the perfect opportunity to really show off your team spirit. I remember my own college days, always wanting my hair to be a fun extension of my fan gear. It’s all about looking cute while cheering loud!
14. Team Color Braids
Braids are a game day MVP. You can easily weave in your team’s colors using hair extensions or a temporary colored hairspray. This is such a fun and simple way to amp up your spirit. Plus, braids tend to stay put, even during intense cheering. For a full day of support, make sure your braids are secured tightly with a good hair tie. This keeps them neat and helps them last through every touchdown.
13. Pom-Pom Ponytail
Want a playful touch? Try a high ponytail with some fun pom-poms! Grab small, colorful pom-poms that match your team’s colors. You can attach them to the base of your ponytail with a small piece of wire or even a strong glue dot meant for crafts. This style is super energetic and totally eye-catching. Choose pom-poms that have a good grip, so they don’t end up on the field instead of your hair!
12. Spirit Stick Buns
Two high buns can create a super festive look. Weave small flags or ribbons in your team’s colors right through the buns. This gives off major festive and spirited vibes. To make sure these buns survive all your jumping and cheering, secure them with plenty of bobby pins. A good hairspray can also help keep everything in place, no matter how wild the game gets.
11. Glitter Roots
For a touch of glam, try glitter roots. You can use temporary hair glitter or a special hair gel with shimmer. Apply it just to your roots for a subtle sparkle. This adds a fun, festive shimmer to your game day look. It’s a fantastic way to catch the light and show your team pride! I always recommend using biodegradable glitter; it’s kinder to the environment and much easier to wash out later.
