The class of 2019’s answer to fabulous and fresh styles inspired by your favorite celebrities.
Graduation Day — with the special day approaching, the coming weeks will bring caps, gowns, and smiling faces as the class of 2019 welcome their transition into adulthood. Past graduation seasons have shown that finding a hairstyle to complement your cap and gown is no easy task. Co-owner and master hairstylist Michele Anzivino of Gainesville’s Ciao Bella Hair Salon recommends checking out these celeb-inspired trends that will have you looking stunning as you walk across the stage.
- The Sleek Up-do
As we all know, the weather in Gainesville is incredibly hot and humid around graduation time. Anzivino says a great way to avoid frizz and stay cool is to sport a low bun like Selena Gomez’s on your special day. This look is also a super cute and easy way to style your hair under a cap.
2. The Beachy Waves
Jennifer Lawrence’s beachy waves have become her staple hairstyle on the red carpet. The curls create an effortless vibe that looks flawless even when you take your graduation cap off. Anzivino recommends this style because of its versatility as it can be worn in many ways depending on how tight or loose you prefer your curls to be.
3. The Fishtail Braid
At the Ciao Bella Salon, many clients are requesting Sarah Hyland’s fishtail for special occasion styles. The elevated side braid looks romantic and elegant while keeping your hair out of your face. To recreate this look at home, make sure to pull out the pieces of hair that frame your face and curl them with an iron.
4. The Half-up, Half-down
If you would prefer a combination of curls and keeping your hair pulled away from the face, then the half-up and half-down style worn by Blake Lively is the one for you. Anzinivo suggests wrapping your hair around the iron in alternative directions to achieve a natural look. Once the curls are in place, secure the pieces of hair that frame your face with a clear elastic and you’re ready to go!
5. The Low Pony
Honestly, Jennifer Lopez never fails to disappoint when it comes to her taste in beauty and hair trends. If you’re interested in recreating her popular, chic ponytail, begin by parting your hair before applying styling cream and securing the low pony. It’s as easy as that! Anzivino advises to not forget to make sure the ponytail is low enough to fit your cap.
6. The Blowout
The blowout is a great way to create a simple look that is both straight and has body. Jessica Alba sports a blowout when she wants to keep things more natural, which might be what you’re looking for on graduation day.
One of these styles is sure to have you feeling your best for graduation! If you’re still unsure of which hairstyle is best for you, the hairstylists at Ciao Bella Salon are always happy to answer questions and offer services.
