16 Cheer Hairstyles That Make Your Bow Shine
Alright, let’s get into the good stuff! I’ve put together a fantastic list of 16 cheer hairstyles. Each one is designed to let your cheer bow truly pop. We’re starting with a great option, and working our way to my absolute favorite. Get ready to find your next go-to look!
16. The Twisted Half-Up
This style is super trendy and works for cheerleaders of all ages. It pulls the front sections of hair back into a neat twist. This perfectly frames the face and keeps hair out of the way. Your bow then sits beautifully at the back, just below the twist. To secure it for active routines, use small elastic bands and bobby pins. A light mist of hairspray will help too.
15. The Bubble Ponytail
I simply adore the bubble ponytail for showing off bows! It creates a fun, playful look while keeping hair contained. The “bubbles” add volume and visual interest down the length of the ponytail. This draws attention right to where your bow will sit. For uniform bubbles, use small, clear elastics spaced evenly. Gently tug each section for a fuller look.
14. The Triple Braid Cascade
This style offers incredible visual appeal and really highlights your bow. Three individual braids flow down the back of the head. They then merge into a single ponytail where your bow can shine. It’s elegant and super secure. A trick for neat braids during movement is to use a little gel before braiding. This keeps flyaways in check.
13. The Sleek Low Ponytail
The sleek low ponytail is a classic for a reason. Its simplicity makes your cheer bow the undeniable focal point. Hair is pulled back smoothly, creating a clean canvas for your bow. For maximum sleekness, apply a smoothing serum to damp hair. Then, use a fine-tooth comb to gather all the hair. Finish with a strong-hold hairspray.
12. The Criss-Cross Ponytail
This style adds a unique detail that enhances your bow’s presence. Sections of hair are criss-crossed at the crown or back of the head. They then flow into a secure ponytail. This adds texture and visual interest. For neat criss-crossing, take even sections of hair. Secure each cross with a small bobby pin before gathering into the main ponytail.
