50 Graduation Hair Ideas To Pair Flawlessly With Your Ceremony Outfit
Graduation day is coming and we know you have prepared your perfect gown and heels for months, but what about the hair?
Since you have to wear a cap, choosing a hairstyle that goes with that item but still makes you look flawless is a must.
We all know that that graduation cap is a tough issue but what we are about to show you will handle it perfectly.
Below you will find 50 graduation hair ideas to match your impressive attire.
You will look super stunning like never before – never a hair out of place!
#1. Shiny Low Ponytail
Do you want something chic and timeless to turn your graduation appearance into a remarkable memory?
Then a shiny low ponytail can satisfy you perfectly.
This graduation hair idea is so effortless that we can’t go wrong.
What you need are hair mousse or gel (whatever brand you have used or want to try is fine), a small styling comb, hair ties, and bobby pins.
First thing first, you need to brush your hair, detangling all that hair to get ready for the styling.
Hair gel or mousse with a comb will help you define your hairline on fleek and get rid of the frizz.
Then you tie all your hair into a low ponytail, take a small strand of hair, and wrap it around to cover the hair tie. A tiny bobby pin helps you fix it.
Basically, a sleek low ponytail is completed.
You can also decorate it with a few small accessories or use a curling iron to curl the ponytail for more elegance gently.
#2. Double Tucked Graduation Hair
You can have this style done quickly. It will still be the same products and tools used to smooth hair as instructed above.
Secure your hair behind your ears with a bobby pin so you can comfortably participate in activities during the graduation ceremony and afterward without worrying about your hair falling out.
Instead of tying it up, let your graduation hair fall naturally.
A curling iron or a straightener is fine depending on how you want to style your hair.
Normally, the hair will be divided according to the middle part to balance the whole.
However, you can part your hair in a side part or zig-zag hairline for a more unique look.
#3. Sleek Blowout
Blowout is a sophisticated hair-drying art that requires technical manipulations to achieve shiny hair. The only heat impact will come from the dryer.
We recommend visiting a hair salon ASAP before your graduation ceremony to get a sleek blowout from the experts.
They will use moisturizing and conditioning products as a final touch to ensure your graduation hair can maintain its lustrous state for as long as possible.
Thick and silky hair can sometimes be more eye-catching than complicated styling.
You also won’t have difficulty wearing a graduation cap with this hairstyle.
#4. Multi Strand Braid
We know that some women want a complex and impressive hairstyle but don’t want to use heat to style it because they want to protect their hair’s health.
Multi-strand braids can be the cherry on top of your ceremony look.
This hairstyle is so convenient since it keeps the hair out of your way.
There are dozens of ways to braid hair and we definitely choose the most elaborate way possible. Graduation is worth the effort we put into it.
Our suggestions have neat and princess-like styles to please the ladies.
Most of these braiding styles are unique and quite complicated, so please follow the online instructions carefully.
#5. Natural Curls
This is a suggestion to honor the natural beauty of black girls’ natural curls.
Because your hair is already perfect, you just need to take good care of it so that it appears breathtaking.
The night before graduation, you should have a thorough hair care routine starting with an oil treatment.
Then wash your hair thoroughly and use conditioner or mask to increase moisture.
Covering your head with a silk bonnet when going to bed ensures your hair doesn’t tangle and ruin your shiny curls.
Tips for wearing a graduation cap with this hairstyle is to use a bobby pin to secure the cap. You can also attach a small mane to the hat and wear it.
#6. Simple Curly Graduation Hair
This simple curly graduation hair is forever timeless and classic, another hairstyle that rarely goes wrong during ceremony day.
Have your desired curling styles done in a snap then you are good to go!
This hairstyle, whether wearing a cap or not, is still gorgeous.
To keep curls last all day long, you should use a combination of styling mousse during the process and texturizing spray afterward.
#7. Graduation Half Up Half Down
Half-up half-down can be considered the most versatile hairstyle because it can be flexibly suitable for any occasion.
It gives you the best of both worlds, formal enough for the ceremony and still stylish for the party.
This idea can be styled simply or elaborately, both are beautiful.
Our suggestions include combinations with braids and accessories to add to the splendor.
Use a curling iron to add a bouncy effect to your hair so you can easily add accessories.
It’s time to give your sparkly barrettes or big bows a place to show off.
#8. Classy Low Bun With Ribbon
A classy low bun, also known as chignon, is a hairstyle that exudes elegance.
Formal events like graduation day are suitable for you to style your hair like that.
The nature of chignon has already been refined so it will suit elegant, lady-like gowns.
If you accentuate it with a ribbon or bow, it is truly icing on the cake.
A big bow will add cuteness and youthfulness.
With bows or long ribbons, your graduation hair looks more graceful. Turning that low bun into a big bow is quite interesting, isn’t it?
A tip is to choose the bow color in the same tone or match the gown color to create unity in your outfit from head to toe.
#9. Knotless Braids
The difference between knotless braids and traditional box braids is clear from the two names. Traditional box braids are knotted at the roots.
Knotless braids are made by first braiding the natural hair about 1 or 2 inches, then adding the braided hair.
The advantage of knotless braids is that they are not tied tightly at the roots of the hair, so they do not put pressure on your scalp. This will minimize damage to your hair.
Knotless braids are an ideal graduation hair idea because they highlight your inherent beauty while making you look desirable.
The best part about this hairstyle is its ever-lasting and washable feature.
Wearing a graduation cap with this hairstyle has never been easier.
Because it doesn’t create any volume, the cap can almost fit perfectly on your head without needing to be fixed.
#10. Blunt Bob
Unlike soft layers that gently frame your face like a layered bob or shaggy layers designed to create a natural texture like a shaggy cut, a blunt cut is simple.
Almost all of your hair is chopped to the same length.
Girls with elegant oval faces will absolutely love this hairstyle because it accentuates existing features.
When choosing a blunt cut to refresh your appearance for graduation day as well as this summer, you can choose between bob or lob.
They are all graduation-cap-friendly.
A short bob is perfect for a brand-new look. It’s “new hair, new me” time!
