Ready to find your perfect Pride look? I’ve put together a list of 22 fun and festive hairstyles. From subtle pops of color to full-on sparkle, there’s something here for everyone. Let’s dive in and get some amazing hair ideas!
22. Subtle Rainbow Highlights
If you want to show your Pride without going too bold, subtle rainbow highlights are a great choice. You can use temporary color sprays or hair chalks to add thin strands of color. This works well on any hair color and length. It’s a sweet, simple way to add some joy.
Maintenance Tip
Use a light-hold hairspray to keep the temporary color in place.
21. Glitter Roots
Glitter roots are so festive and fun! Apply a glitter gel or mix loose glitter with hair gel along your part. This look is perfect for parties, parades, or any time you want extra sparkle. It catches the light beautifully and feels super celebratory.
Styling Tip
Apply glitter to slightly damp hair for better adhesion.
20. Bold Single Color Streak
A single, vibrant color streak makes a statement. Choose your favorite color and apply temporary color to one section of hair. You can place it near your face or underneath for a peek-a-boo effect. It’s a simple yet impactful way to add a bold touch.
Color Choice Tip
Pick a color that pops against your natural hair color.
19. Pastel Ombre
Pastel ombre gives a soft, dreamy blend of colors. Apply temporary pastel shades to the ends of your hair, blending them upwards. Pinks, blues, and purples look beautiful together. This style works especially well on longer hair.
Blending Tip
Use your fingers or a comb to gently blend the colors.
18. Rainbow Braid
Weave rainbow colors into your braids! You can use colored hair extensions or apply temporary color to sections before braiding. Any braid type works, from simple three-strand to more intricate styles. It’s a playful and colorful look.
Braid Longevity Tip
Secure the end of your braid with a clear elastic band.
17. Temporary Color Spray Design
Get creative with temporary color sprays and stencils! You can spray on hearts, stars, or rainbow stripes. This lets you personalize your look and have unique designs. It’s like art for your hair!
Application Tip
Hold the stencil firmly against your hair while spraying.
16. Colorful Hair Accessories
Sometimes, all you need are vibrant accessories. Load up on rainbow clips, scrunchies, or headbands. Layering different accessories adds to the fun. This is an easy way to add color without any temporary dyes.
Accessorizing Tip
Mix and match different textures and sizes of accessories.
15. Two-Tone Split Dye
Split your hair down the middle and color each side a different bold color. Think pink on one side and blue on the other, or red and orange. This look is daring and shows off two favorite colors at once. It’s a high-impact style.
Color Placement Tip
Use clips to keep the two sections completely separate.
14. Glitter Streak
Instead of glitter roots, try a focused glitter streak. Apply a line of glitter gel or loose glitter along a specific section of hair. A streak near the temple or along the hairline adds a subtle sparkle. You can control how bold it is.
Glitter Removal Tip
Apply hairspray before gently brushing out the glitter.
13. Rainbow Tips
Color just the ends of your hair in rainbow shades. This is a less permanent way to try rainbow color. You can dip-dye the ends or use temporary color sprays. It looks great on medium to long hair.
Color Fade Tip
Avoid washing your hair too often to keep the color vibrant.
12. Bold Color Block
Color large sections of your hair in solid, bold colors. You could have a chunk of blue here, a section of yellow there. This creates a cool, geometric look. Combining different bold shades makes a strong statement.
Sectioning Tip
Use strong hair clips to isolate the sections you’re coloring.
11. Temporary Color Root Touch-Up
Add a pop of temporary color right at your roots. This is a super quick way to add some fun color. Choose a bright shade and spray or brush it onto the first inch or two of your hair. It’s an easy way to get festive fast.
Root Application Tip
Use a small brush for more precise application.
10. Glitter Part
Apply a thin line of glitter along your hair part. This adds a subtle, shimmery detail. Use fine glitter for a delicate look or chunkier glitter for more sparkle. It’s a simple way to add a touch of glam.
Parting Tip
Use a comb to create a very straight and defined part.
9. Rainbow Ponytail
Make your ponytail a rainbow! Add colored hair extensions or apply temporary color to strands before gathering your hair into a ponytail. It’s a fun, bouncy way to show off bright colors. Perfect for an active day.
Extension Tip
Choose extensions that match your hair texture for a natural look.
8. Bold Undercut Design
If you have an undercut, color or add glitter to that section. You can even create shaved patterns first and then color them in. This is a hidden surprise of color or sparkle. It’s a bold choice that’s easy to tuck away if needed.
Design Maintenance Tip
Reapply temporary color or glitter as needed to keep it fresh.
7. Temporary Color Wash
Use a temporary color wash for a subtle all-over tint. These washes add a hint of color that fades quickly. It’s a low-commitment way to try a new shade. They come in various colors for different effects.
