onion hair

While getting hyped for the school sports festival is important, you can’t overlook hairstyles either.
Lately, Korean-inspired hairstyles are getting a lot of attention.
The one especially praised as cute is the “onion hair” look.
It’s appealing because you can try it with any hair length—from short to long—and it comes together in a cute way.
There’s also a pro tip: mixing in some braids when creating onion hair adds extra volume.
Even if you’re not great at sports but still want to stand out with your hairstyle, definitely try these Korean-style hair arrangements.
Hard-to-undo! Braided twin tails

In this video, they introduce two types of twin tails that won’t fall apart even if you jump and bounce around like a K-pop idol—perfect for dancing or vigorous movement.
Rather than a fluffy, casual look, these styles are neatly secured, making them ideal for anyone performing a dance at a school sports festival.
The first is a three-strand braid, and the second is a Dutch braid variation.
You might think advanced skills are required, but if you follow the video step by step, it’s surprisingly easy.
The instructions are explained slowly and in order, so you can follow along with confidence.
Recommended for Bob! Princess-style half updo

Bob hairstyles can get messy, hot, and annoying when you exercise, right? For those people, here’s a princess-style half-up you can do even with a bob—perfect for sports festivals! First, apply hair oil to lightly dampen your hair, then create a half-up and curl the inner layers into waves with a hair iron.
Next, let the half-up down and curl the rest of your hair the same way.
Using oil helps reduce volume, so make sure to apply it.
Use your thumbs to section and create the half-up; the key is to tie it securely while leaving a slightly effortless look.
It instantly boosts your femininity—so stand out at the sports festival!

Korean-style mini dumplings
Recommended for medium to long hair! For mini buns like Korean idols, you don’t need braids or twist-in styling.
With just six hair ties, you can create a cute hairstyle that looks adorable from both the front and the back.
Making the parting zigzag gives a more active and playful impression! If decorative hair ties are allowed, adding your favorite accessories to the buns will lift your mood even more.
6 Hairstyles for Short Bobs

With short or bob hairstyles, hair arrangements tend to become one-patterned, don’t they? Here are six recommended styles for those who want to dress up a little and feel special—say, for a school sports festival.
The first is a Korean-inspired look with see-through bangs—super easy.
The second is a half-up style with a scarf as the focal point.
The third simply involves twisting the bangs, but it gives a sophisticated, intricate look.
Each one will make you think, “Wow, a bob can change the vibe this much!” and bring a fresh surprise.
Braided-look hair with just tying

Since it’s securely held with elastic bands, this easy hairstyle is perfect for an active sports day.
First, work hair wax or a similar product through your hair, then split the back into two sections and clip them to hold.
Take a small section from the top, and tie it with an elastic.
Tie another section just below it.
Split the lower part of the upper tied section in two, wrap it around the end of the lower section, and secure.
Repeat this process, and finally gather the remaining hair together and tie with an elastic to finish.
Gently pull out and loosen the braid to your liking to enhance the stylish look!
Korean goddess-style wavy hair

If you have a curling iron, why not try a Korean goddess-inspired hairstyle with bold, voluminous waves? First, split the hair on both sides into top and bottom sections and tie them with elastics.
With the hair secured, start by curling diagonally outward with the iron.
Once you’ve curled both sides the same way, remove the elastics and curl your bangs and side pieces outward as well.
Lift the roots for extra volume, then finish with a shine spray—and you’re done! If you’re into a mature, sultry look, definitely give this a try.
