Another perfect graduation hairstyle is a natural bob. Keep your locks smooth by adding some texturizer and hairspray, then secure it all back with pins or clips. Natural Bob
Layered Bob with Highlights
This layered bob is stunningly gorgeous, with its light blonde highlights blending perfectly into its dark brown roots, while its center parting gives it a more classic and refined aesthetic. Try a vibrant pink shade on your bob for an eye-catching and feminine look! Its wavy and asymmetrical styling is finished off perfectly by its stylish purple streak, adding an eye-catching splash of color. Perfect for those who wish to experiment with different hues while maintaining a polished and chic aesthetic, this look will undoubtedly turn heads!
Blunt Side Part
If an updo isn’t your cup of tea, other stunning graduation hairstyles can still make you look gorgeous. For instance, short-haired graduates can try creating an elegant side braid with short locks that wrap around their heads like a crown to look smart.
One option for wearing your hair down is wearing a low ponytail with loose tendrils to frame your face and look. For an added classic touch, add a headband for a more traditional effect.
A tight Dutch braid with smooth hair underneath and wavy tendrils makes for a beautiful hairstyle at any event, particularly for women with cool skin tones, as it helps showcase their natural beauty. Perfect for formal occasions like graduation and weddings.
Braided Updo
Graduating from four or eight years of hard work, making memories with your closest friends, and charting your path for life can be an achievement worth celebrating – what better way than with an elegant hairstyle that works with a cap? We have plenty of beautiful styles that look fabulous under hats – whether loose waves or up in an adorable half updo style will do the trick! Get inspired by Addison Rae and get ready to walk the stage with a stunning, shiny blowout that sits perfectly underneath your cap. Keep your look smooth and frizz-free all day using Redken’s Frizz Dismiss Instant Deflate hair Oil, which contains sustainably sourced Babassu oil for humidity protection.
Low Bun
Low buns are timeless graduation looks that won’t interfere with your cap. Make it even more classic like Demi Lovato by adding beautiful pressed waves or embellishing it with glittery rhinestones for a glamorous grad look. If you have a short pixie cut, try reshaping your strands into soft finger waves like singer-songwriter Lauren Jauregui does with ease using Lotta Body Wrap Me Foaming Mousse conditioning mousse. This style can easily be achieved! A ponytail is another trendy and versatile style option if curls aren’t your style. Try something like Lana Condor’s simple high ponytail with face-framing bangs or an elegant low ponytail with loose waves using a wand to curl your strands around your face for an effortlessly beautiful finish.
Low Ponytail
This elegant hairstyle is ideal for graduation because it’s simple and looks fantastic under a cap. For added drama, braid the upper half of your hair or go all out and create a full updo with loose curls – both are stunning options! A deep side part is ideal for creating this look, as it allows the hair to frame your face without getting in your way. To add volume to your curls, try working a styling gel or smoothing serum into your locks before styling it. Consider creating a gorgeous bubble fishtail braid like Addison Rae’s to add an elegant flair to your graduation look. Use a volumizing product, such as Kenra Professional Platinum Texturizing Taffy.
