Aim for No. 1 with your hairstyle, too! Recommended hairstyles for sports day (51–60)
twin bun hairstyle
A solid ribbon-braided style for long hair: first do ribbon braids, then shape them into twin buns.
To create the braided sections, split the hair into left and right, then further divide each side into front (in front of the ear) and back sections to make four ribbon braids.
For a soft, airy look, curl the hair before braiding, and after braiding, gently pull out and loosen the strands a bit.
Once you have the four braids, make regular three-strand braids on each side, coil them up, and form buns.
It’s a standout hairstyle, so weaving in ribbons in your team colors is a great touch!
half-up bun hairstyle
A half-up bun hairstyle is a hair arrangement that combines cuteness with a mature vibe.
Unlike a regular bun, it also gives you a polished, effortless look.
In general, you start by pulling your hair up like a normal bun and securing it with an elastic.
Then lightly curl the side sections inward.
Flipping the hair around the ears outward makes it even cuter, so it’s recommended.
To keep it relaxed, just curl it loosely—no need to overdo it.
It might be tricky until you get used to it, but give it a try!
pompadour
The pompadour, where you twist up your bangs, is the perfect hairstyle for a sports day—you can focus on the competition without worrying about messy bangs! Dampen your bangs, section off the area you want for the pompadour, and twist it upward toward the back.
Push the roots slightly forward to create volume in the gathered section, then secure with pins to finish.
You can also make it extra stylish by splitting the blocked section into two: twist and pin one side first, then cross the remaining section over it and pin in place.
Mickey hair
If you’re fine without wearing a hat, we recommend “Mickey hair” for a lively look! Create a zigzag part and split your hair into two sections, then make high pigtails.
Tease each section with a comb to add volume, and, keeping the fluffiness, wrap it around the base to form buns.
You’ll end up with a cute hairstyle reminiscent of Mickey’s big ears! To prevent loose strands from making it look messy, finish by setting it firmly with hairspray.

Low ponytail with braided ribbon headband
If you want to create a stylish and elegant vibe, we recommend a braided low ponytail with a ribbon headband.
This hairstyle features a ponytail set low and is perfect for adult women.
By braiding in a headband with a ribbon, you get a glamorous finish.
You can also add variety by making the braided sections larger or smaller.
Try a more mature look than usual for your sports festival.

Lace-up ponytail
This is a recommended hairstyle for anyone who wants to bring lots of energy to the sports festival.
Leave a little hair around your face and make a high ponytail with the rest.
Then use the face-framing hair to create two braids on each side.
Lace a ribbon through the two braids in a crisscross pattern, as if threading a shoelace.
Do the same on the other side.
You can tie the ribbon ends into a bow as they are, or wrap them around the ponytail—both work! If you wrap another ribbon around the ponytail as well, you’ll have a glamorous ribbon hair arrangement all set.
A hair arrangement with braided plaits (three-strand braid)
A braided-look hairstyle made using only hair ties and simple three-strand braids.
First, take a section of hair near the bangs and braid it.
Continue braiding toward the back of the neck.
Next, split the hair behind that section into two, and braid it together with the section you just braided.
Then, take the hair behind the ear and do the same—braiding it together with the lower section—repeating the process.
Do the same on the other side, and finally combine the two braids to finish.
It’s a cute sports day style that won’t get messy even with a hat on.
