19 Bold & Beautiful Pride Hairstyles That Make a Statement (Color & Cuts)
Ready to really show your Pride? I’ve put together a list of amazing hairstyles. This collection has something for everyone, from subtle touches to full-on vibrant looks. Get ready to be inspired!
Let’s start with a truly show-stopping style.
19. Vibrant Rainbow Braids
Oh, I just adore a good braid! Imagine your hair woven with all the bright, beautiful shades of the rainbow. This is done by adding colorful braiding hair as you go. It creates such a stunning effect that lasts for weeks.
It’s perfect if you want a bold look that stays put through all the Pride festivities. To keep those colors popping, use a color-safe spray or mousse.
18. Pastel Pride Pixie Cut
Who says short hair can’t be colorful? A cute pixie cut painted with soft pastel Pride shades is so chic. Think blush pinks, sky blues, and gentle lavenders. It’s stylish and pretty easy to manage.
This look is great if you like a shorter style but still want to add fun color. A little bit of styling wax helps keep your pixie looking sharp all day.
17. Ombre Color Melt
If you like a softer color transition, an ombre color melt is beautiful. The Pride colors blend gradually down the hair, often starting a bit lower down. It feels a little more subtle than full-on streaks.
This works well if you’re new to bright colors. To protect those colored ends, use a good leave-in conditioner.
16. Rainbow Roots
Coloring just your roots is a fun, temporary way to add a pop of Pride. It’s like a little surprise of color right at your scalp. You can use temporary dyes or even hair makeup.
This is a low-commitment option that’s easy to do at home. Keep some temporary color on hand for quick touch-ups if needed.
15. Bold Color Blocking
Ready for something dramatic? Color blocking means applying distinct sections of different Pride colors to your hair. Like a bright blue section next to a vibrant yellow one. It’s very graphic and eye-catching.
This style really makes a statement. When applying the color, make sure you use clips to keep your hair sections very separate.
14. Pride Stripes
Adding thin, crisp stripes of Pride colors through your hair is a neat look. You can do this with semi-permanent dyes for something that lasts a bit longer. Or use temporary hair chalk for just a day.
It’s a clean, artistic way to show your colors. Using tape or stencils can help you get those stripes looking super straight and defined.
13. Rainbow Undercut Design
Here’s a fun secret style! Get a design shaved into the hair at the nape of your neck. Then, color that shaved area with Pride colors. You can wear your hair down to hide it or put it up to reveal the cool art.
It’s a playful surprise. Keep the shaved area tidy with regular trims.
12. Glitter Roots
For a festive sparkle, apply glitter in Pride colors right at your roots. This is perfect for events and parties. It catches the light beautifully and feels super celebratory.
It’s definitely a temporary party look. Use hairspray or gel to help the glitter stick, and be prepared for a bit of cleanup when it’s time to wash it out!
11. Temporary Colored Clip-Ins
No dye needed for this one! Clip-in hair extensions in vibrant Pride colors are a fantastic option. You can add streaks or whole sections of color instantly. They are easy to put in and take out.
This is ideal if you don’t want to commit to dyeing your own hair. Trim the clip-ins to match your hair length for a more natural blend.
10. Rainbow Hair Chalk Highlights
Hair chalk is the ultimate low-commitment color tool. Just rub streaks of rainbow chalk onto your hair for instant highlights. It washes out easily with shampoo.
Great for a quick pop of color for an event. It works best on lighter hair, but you can make it show up on dark hair by dampening the hair slightly first.
9. Pride Accessories
Sometimes, the simplest things make a big impact. Adding Pride-themed hair accessories is an easy way to show support. Think headbands, colorful clips, ribbons, or even floral crowns in rainbow shades.
This works for all hair types and lengths. Try weaving ribbons into braids or using colorful clips to hold back sections of hair.
8. Colorful Bangs
Focusing color just on your bangs makes a bold statement without coloring your whole head. Dyeing your fringe in Pride colors is fun and frames your face with vibrancy. It’s a contained burst of color.
This is a good option if you want noticeable color but not everywhere. Keep your bangs styled nicely to show off the color.
7. Split Dye with Pride Colors
Split dye is super dramatic! You part your hair down the middle and color each side differently. Imagine one side vibrant pink and the other a mix of blue and green. It’s high contrast and very cool.
This look is definitely bold. Use a strong part and be careful when washing to keep the colors from bleeding onto each other.
6. Rainbow Space Buns
Space buns are already fun, but add rainbow color and they are amazing! You can dye sections of hair before styling or use temporary color on the buns themselves. It’s a playful and youthful look.
This style is perfect for dancing at a Pride event. Use hair ties and bobby pins to make sure your buns are secure and neat.
5. Pride Hair Tattoo
Yes, hair tattoos are a thing! These are temporary stencils or adhesive designs you apply to your hair, often in shaved areas or sleek styles. You can find Pride-themed designs for a unique touch.
It’s a really unique way to add art to your look. Make sure your hair is clean and dry before applying the tattoo for best results.
4. Rainbow Tips
Coloring just the very ends of your hair is a less intense way to add Pride colors. It’s a subtle dip into the rainbow. It looks great on longer hair.
This is a good option if you want color but aren’t ready for something higher up. Keep those ends looking healthy with regular trims and treatments.
3. Multi-Colored Ponytail
Gather your hair into a ponytail and add color within the ponytail itself. You can use temporary sprays or even colored hair extensions clipped in just for the pony. It’s simple but effective.
This makes it easy to add color to a classic style. Use a smooth brush and good hair tie for a sleek ponytail base.
2. Pride Headscarf Styles
A beautiful Pride-themed headscarf is incredibly versatile. You can tie it in countless ways – as a headband, wrapped around a bun, or covering your whole head. It works for all hair types and lengths.
This is a wonderful way to show your Pride with zero commitment to hair dye. There are tons of tutorials online for different headscarf tying techniques!
1. The Ultimate Rainbow Mane
This is it, the grand finale! Coloring your entire head of hair in a vibrant, blended rainbow is the ultimate Pride statement. It’s a beautiful, flowing cascade of color. Think of it as wearing a rainbow flag on your head!
It takes commitment and likely a trip to a professional colorist, but the result is stunning. To keep your rainbow mane looking its best, deep conditioning treatments are a must.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pride Hairstyles
I get asked a lot about making these fun looks happen. Here are some common questions I hear about getting your hair ready for Pride celebrations.
How long do temporary Pride hair colors last?
It really depends on what you use! Hair chalk usually washes out in just one shampoo. Temporary sprays might last a day or two. Semi-permanent dyes, often used for bolder looks, can last anywhere from a week to several weeks, fading gradually with each wash. Clip-ins last until you take them out!
Can I achieve these looks on dark hair?
Yes, you absolutely can! On very dark hair, some vibrant colors might not show up as brightly without a little help. You might need to lighten sections of your hair first, especially for really vivid results. Temporary options like hair chalk or colored hairspray can give a tint on dark hair, but for true brights, lightening is often needed.
What are some low-commitment Pride hair ideas?
If you’re not ready to dye your hair, there are tons of options! Hair chalk and temporary colored sprays are great for a one-day look. Colored clip-in extensions are fantastic because you just pop them in and out. And don’t forget accessories! Headbands, ribbons, or colorful clips add instant Pride flair without any color going on your actual hair.
How do I care for my hair after coloring?
Colored hair needs a little extra love! Use shampoos and conditioners specifically made for color-treated hair. They help protect the color and keep it from fading too fast. Try not to wash your hair every single day. Cooler water is also better for keeping color vibrant. Deep conditioning treatments can help keep your hair healthy and soft after coloring.
