Hairstyles for sports festivals and school field days (hachimaki headbands are OK)

When it comes to sports day and field day hairstyles, of course they need to stay in place, but you also have to think about pairing them with a headband—and above all, the most important thing is that they look cute!

It’s pretty tough to nail a hairstyle that checks all three boxes…

Classic ponytails and braids can look super cute with just a little twist!

We’ve got styles not only for long hair but also perfect options for medium-length hair, so make your sports or field day extra fun with an adorable headband-friendly hairstyle!

I’ll show you a cool way to tie the ‘kenka-kaburi’ head wrap.

Place the towel on your head, grab both ends, and twist them tightly.

Bring the ends to the back and cross them, then secure the twisted sections.

Next, bring the back part of the towel up from below and cover the crossed section to finish.

You can change the vibe by adjusting how tightly you twist and where you position the towel.

To make it look sharp, keep the fabric tight and avoid any sagging.

If you tie a twisted headband like a flower, it becomes a splendid hair accessory! Start by shaping the twisted rod into a T-shape.

Proceed carefully so the order of layering and threading the cords doesn’t get mixed up.

Finally, pull the cords taut so the five loops spread out evenly.

Tighten the central knot firmly to finish.

By flaring the tips of the petals outward, you’ll create a three-dimensional flower knot.

Pair it with a glamorous hairstyle, and you’re sure to turn heads!

Master braiding and give it a shot! The vibe changes depending on the ribbon color, so it’s fun to look for your favorite one.

Of course, it’s also great for long hair.

Introducing the tight ponytail that changes its vibe depending on where you tie your hair.

Make a ponytail and wrap a ribbon or string around it.

Tying your hair low gives a mature look, while tying it high creates a casual impression.

If you tie it tightly, it won’t come undone easily—perfect for sports day hair when you’ll be moving around or wearing a hat.

Choosing the color of the ribbon or string can be fun too.

Even if your hair is on the shorter side, as long as you can gather it into one ponytail, you can try this style—give it a go!
