For this style to look good, you need a strong edge control product. I really enjoy Mielle Organics Honey & Ginger Edge Gel since it holds my hair in place without flaking. Tie the ends with small elastics and give your hair a final shine by misting it.
I have seen this style on IG reels all year and decided to try it out for myself. This is one of those times when July nails and UK trends come together, and it’s worth more attention. The artistry, the precision, the vibes? Off the charts.
Planning to go all out? Combine it with glitter makeup and july nails that are finished in chrome red. It’s your day, own it.
Ombre Perfection with a Statement Bow
If you want to keep it simple, this ombré style is just what you need for a glamorous look. This hairstyle looks elegant and festive because of the way the deep crimson fades into honey blonde and then into teal blue at the ends. A Fourth of July bow at the back makes it shine, and the hairstyle is refined enough to fit anywhere, from a UK brunch to a Canada fireworks show.
This color effect needs a bit of effort, but it’s definitely worth it. Amika Vault Color-Lock Shampoo is a good choice to make sure the red and blue colors don’t fade. Use a nourishing mask once a week to continue having smooth hair.
This style gives grown-up glam without losing the playfulness. A july nails ideas almond shape in soft ombré or a fourth matte nude with a red accent line would look really nice.
And honestly, this bow? It’s the cherry on top. Don’t skip it.
Ultra Sleek and Independence Day Strong
Just like the flag, this hairstyle is well known — long, very straight hair that hangs down perfectly. It’s not complicated, yet it’s bold, and adding stars and sunglasses to the look makes it look like a Fourth of July cool girl. Imagine a mix between a street style party and a freedom rally — strong, simple, and ready for a glossy red or navy almond set.
A heat protectant and shine serum will help you keep your hair smooth throughout the day. I always use Olaplex No.9 to style and ColorWow Dream Coat to get rid of frizz and make my hair shine. You’ll see that it makes your hair look silky and smooth.
This look has always been my secret weapon. It’s easy to put together, but it has a big effect, and it suits UK, Canadian, or classic American summer parties just as well. Keep the makeup bronzy and the attitude confident.

Glitter Starburst Headband on Soft Blonde
Cute, familiar, and shining bright like a firecracker, this thick glitter star headband is perfect. Paired with soft blonde locks, it gives major childhood-memory-meets-grown-woman-glow. Easy 4th beauty means you spend little time, but get a lot of results and have a lot of fun.
If you want to keep your hair looking new, I suggest using Kérastase Elixir Ultime Oil to tame frizz and add shine without making your hair feel heavy. Going easy on the product helps your hair look fuller and your roots not get flat.
I chose the same style for a Fourth of July concert and it stayed in place throughout the heat, dancing, and a dramatic group photo. You could add simple glitter or a short sparkle French tip to go with this and it will look polished.
Want to remix it? You can braid or put your hair in a bun to achieve a unique style that’s still fun.
Half-Up, Half-Classic with a Red Ribbon Pop
This one is just right in terms of being polished and still relaxed. With a half-up twist and shoulder-length waves, and a single red ribbon, it’s a style that says “ready for brunch with my friends before the fireworks.” It is a quiet celebration, so it’s great for anyone who wants to celebrate in a simple way on the 4th.
The IGK Beach Club Texture Spray gives the twist enough grip and lifts the ends for a breezy look. It stays upright and doesn’t droop as the day goes on.
I love how wearable this is. You can team it with jeans, a romper, or a Christmas in July dress and it will always be a great look. I’ve even seen it styled at summer weddings. Great placement and a single red ribbon can make a big difference.
Nail inspo? Consider doing july nails by painting them red and sticking on tiny white star stickers. Instant match.
Three-Tone Braid with Floating Star Pins
This style is all about drama and a touch of childhood memories. The hair is braided with three red, blue, and white strands and decorated with cute star pins, all falling in glossy chocolate waves. This is Americana with a twist — lighthearted but well put together, suitable for parades or special dinners.
If your hair is this color, Redken Acidic Bonding Leave-In Treatment will make your strands strong and shiny. I also prefer to finish braids with a light spray for shine, as it makes your hair look great when you’re outside.
I have tried making braids before, but I haven’t done them with such a rich, ribbon-like look. The story is short and snappy, but the length is still there, which is very popular nowadays.
You can achieve a trendy look by using three-tone marble acrylic sets with july nails ideas.
Stadium Braids with Micro Ribbon Accents
Talk about showing up and showing out. If you’re going to watch fireworks or cheer for Canada Day, these sporty braids with red, white, and blue ribbons are perfect. You can do this fourth style in no time and it looks as if you took your time planning it. It also lasts through heat, wind, and wild dancing because of its texture.
Murray’s Edgewax Braid Gel helps to keep your sections tidy and stops flyaways. I like using a toothbrush to slick down baby hairs if needed — it’s a trick that always works.
This outfit is perfect for festivals because it’s bold, sweet, and allows you to dance all day. Combine it with your favorite jeans and finish with a manicure in matte navy or red gloss.
Feeling extra? Swap one of the ribbons for glitter thread. Subtle shimmer, serious impact.
