There’s nothing quite like game day! The energy is electric. You’re decked out in your team’s colors. You’re ready to cheer your heart out. But let’s be real, looking cute while doing it is half the fun. I’ve spent countless Saturdays prepping for games, trying to find that perfect balance of style and practicality. This is why I’m so excited to share my favorite easy gameday hairstyles with you. These looks will keep your hair looking fabulous, no matter how much you jump and shout!
The Ultimate Gameday Hairstyle Guide
Game day demands a hairstyle that’s as spirited as you are. It needs to withstand cheers, wind, and maybe a little bit of celebratory confetti. I’ve curated a list of styles that are super easy to create. They also look incredibly chic. You want something that stays put. It should also complement your gameday outfit. We’ll cover everything from effortless braids to playful buns. Get ready to find your new go-to look for every match!
13. The Classic Pony with a Twist
The ponytail is a timeless choice for a reason. It’s simple and keeps hair out of your face. But we can elevate it for game day! Start with a sleek, high ponytail. Then, wrap a strand of hair around the elastic. This gives it a polished, intentional look. I love adding a braid along the hairline before securing the ponytail. It’s a small detail that adds so much flair. This style works for everyone, no matter your age.
Styling Tip: Add a braid along the hairline before securing the ponytail for extra flair.
12. Braided Headband
Want a chic way to keep hair off your face? Try a braided headband. You can create this by taking a section of hair from one side. Braid it all the way down. Then, sweep it across your head like a headband. Pin it securely on the other side. It looks so sophisticated! This works great for various hair lengths. Make sure to secure it firmly with bobby pins. You don’t want it slipping during the game.
Maintenance Tip: Use a fine-tooth comb to smooth flyaways before braiding.
11. Bubble Braids
Bubble braids are such a fun, trendy style. They’re also surprisingly easy to do! Simply secure your ponytail with an elastic. Then, add elastics down the length of your hair. Gently pull each section apart to create the “bubble” effect. This adds volume and a playful vibe. You can adjust the tightness for comfort. I love varying the size of the bubbles for a unique look. It’s so cute and keeps hair contained.
Styling Tip: Vary the size of the bubbles for a unique look.
10. Space Buns
Space buns are undeniably cute and sporty. They offer fantastic security, too. Part your hair down the middle. Create two high ponytails. Then, twist each ponytail into a bun. Secure them with elastics and pins. These are perfect for windy conditions or active tailgating. I find they stay put really well. You can even try placing them lower on your head for a different vibe.
