Accessorize Your Pride: 13 Rainbow Hair Ideas
Alright, let’s get into the fun part! Here are some of my favorite ways to add a splash of rainbow to your hair for Pride. These ideas are all about celebrating in style. Number one is a real showstopper!
13. Rainbow Ribbon Braids
This is such a sweet look. Weave thin rainbow ribbons right into your braids. It adds a pop of color that moves with you. This works beautifully for anyone with braids or who wants to try them. A trick I use is to tie the ribbon to the hair tie before you start braiding.
12. Flag Fabric Headband
Grab a small rainbow flag or some fabric. Fold and tie it around your head like a headband. It’s simple but makes a big impact. This is great for all hair lengths. Choose a soft fabric so it’s comfy to wear all day.
11. Rainbow Hair Chalk Streaks
Hair chalk is your friend for temporary color. Just rub the chalk onto sections of your hair. It washes out easily. This works well for most hair types, though it shows up best on lighter hair. Remember to wear old clothes when you apply it!
10. Rainbow Bead Embellishments
Adding colorful beads to the ends of braids or twists is so playful. It gives a lovely texture and sound as you move. This is perfect for those with braids, twists, or locs. Make sure the beads aren’t too heavy for your hair.
9. Rainbow Clip-In Extensions
Clip-in extensions are super easy and damage-free. Just clip them in where you want a burst of color. They come in all sorts of rainbow shades. You can curl or straighten them with your own hair. Try layering them for a really full look.
8. Rainbow Hair Tinsel
Want some sparkle? Hair tinsel is the answer! Tie strands of rainbow tinsel to small sections of your hair. It catches the light beautifully. This adds a fun, shimmery effect. I find tying it near the root makes it last longer.
7. Rainbow Yarn Wraps
Wrapping colorful yarn around small sections of hair gives a cool, bohemian vibe. You can do different colors on different strands. This style is quite durable. Secure the ends by tying them off tightly or using a small elastic.
6. Rainbow Hair Spray Design
Temporary colored hair spray lets you get really creative. You can spray stripes, dots, or even stencils onto your hair. It’s bold and washes right out. Cover your shoulders with a towel when spraying to avoid stains.
5. Rainbow Scrunchie Ponytail
The easiest look of all! Just tie your ponytail with a big, fluffy rainbow scrunchie. It’s a classic for a reason. This works on any ponytail or bun. Pick a scrunchie that’s full of volume for maximum impact.
4. Rainbow Flower Crown
A flower crown with rainbow blooms is so festive and cheerful. You can buy one or make your own with faux flowers. It sits right on top of your hair. Bobby pins are great for keeping it from sliding off.
3. Rainbow Fabric Bows
Add small rainbow fabric bows to the ends of pigtails or buns. It’s a sweet and simple touch. This look is super playful and works for younger and older styles. Place them slightly off-center for a fun look.
2. Rainbow Glitter Roots
Apply cosmetic-grade glitter to your hair roots with some hair gel. It creates a sparkly halo effect. This is definitely for those who love to shine. Use a brush to apply the glitter evenly for the best look.
1. Rainbow Flag Wrapped Bun
Take a small rainbow flag or a piece of fabric. Wrap it around your bun and tuck or pin the ends securely. It’s a powerful visual statement. This is my absolute favorite! Make sure the fabric isn’t too bulky for your bun.
Frequently Asked Questions
I get asked lots of questions about these fun Pride looks! Here are some common ones I hear. It’s good to know the details when using temporary hair color and other Pride accessories.
How long do these temporary hair accessories last?
It really depends! Things like ribbons, beads, and flags last until you take them out. Temporary hair color or sprays usually wash out in one shampoo. Glitter might take a couple washes.
Are these methods safe for all hair types?
Generally, yes! Using fabric or clip-ins is usually fine. For temporary color or glitter, if you have sensitive skin or scalp, maybe do a small patch test first. Always read the product instructions.
Where can I find rainbow flags, ribbons, and other accessories?
You can find them at party supply stores, craft stores, online retailers, and during Pride season, many local shops will carry them. Look for “Pride accessories” when you search online or in stores.
