At these tournaments, these players know how to make a statement with their attire – whether it’s rocking retro Y2K style or sporting two-tone tennis dresses, each of them can make a bold impression.
They know exactly how to keep their strands under control – these adorable hairstyles will ensure that your locks remain out of your face and looking fabulous while playing! A strappy crop cami tank and tennis skirt is the ideal combination for this look!
1. The High Ponytail
The high ponytail is an effortless classic look perfect for keeping hair out of your face during play, plus it looks great after your match too! Simply brush back your locks into an elastic band at the crown of your head and secure with elastic. If any short strands or bangs tend to fall into your eyes, use bobby pins as needed to secure them in place.
If you want to take your high ponytail style one step further, try adding volume by teasing near its base. This will create more volume in its shape and help prevent that flat look that sometimes results from this style.
Combining your ponytail with a fringe can give your ponytail an added touch, as seen on Tyra Banks and is an effective way of creating depth and height in your face. If your hair doesn’t allow for creating full fringes, clip-in faux bangs may do just as well!
A side-parted ponytail is another simple yet effective way to add a splash of style and dimension to any look. Easy and quick, it can frame your face and draw attention to cheekbones if done properly; just be sure to comb through each strand carefully to remove knots or tangles first!
Finally, for an added romantic touch try adding soft curls to your ponytail for added romance. Not only will this help keep your tresses in place and prevent flyaways but gently brush through them after setting with hairspray to complete this look.
No matter your personal style, there’s sure to be a tennis-inspired hairstyle out there that fits. All it takes are a few easy steps and the appropriate TRESemme products – and you’re set! Give one of these darling styles a try next time you hit the courts; we promise your friends will be impressed!
2. The Half-Up Pony
Medium to long haired individuals will find that a half-up ponytail is an easy and stylish way to keep their strands out of their faces while playing. Simply gather and brush back your locks into a pony tail at the crown of your head, securing it with an elastic band. For added volume and fullness near the roots, gently tease and tousle your locks near them; finally finish it off by misting some hairspray to secure this style and prevent flyaways.
If you want to give your half-up ponytail an added feminine touch, try adding braids on either side for an effortless feminine aesthetic. Braids are an easy and fun way to add dimension; whether it be casual side braids or more sophisticated French braids there will definitely be one style that complements you perfectly!
Add some flair to your half-up ponytail by pairing it with stylish hair accessories. This is a quick and effective way to transition your look from everyday life to date night or a special event, such as wearing a headscarf around your elastic band, a scrunchie with plenty of cuteness or a beautiful hair clip adorned with jewels for some added glitz and glitter!
This look is ideal for taking your on-court style to the next level. Be sure to brush out any tangles or knots prior to starting to play and spray some dry shampoo onto your locks to absorb excess oil and create volume – we highly recommend Love Beauty and Planet Volumizing Juicy Grapefruit Day 2 Dry Shampoo as it helps refresh tresses while creating volume with its delicious fruity fragrance!
If a full ponytail isn’t your cup of tea, try pairing your half-up ponytail with beach waves to create an effortless yet chic finished look – ideal for running errands, brunch with friends or making your ex jealous on the tennis court.
3. The Braided Updo
Top players know that choosing the appropriate hairstyle can make or break their on-court style. At an important rally, hair-related mishaps shouldn’t throw off their concentration; therefore, their favorite players have perfected various cute yet functional styles to ensure vision remains unrestricted while remaining stylish.
Serena Williams earned acclaim during her time as a professional player thanks to her distinctive on-court fashion. From simple Nike tennis dresses and wrist bands that complemented her nails, Serena knew how to stand out on court – not forgetting her eye-catching ponytail that completed her look!
Although this hairstyle features a high ponytail, she chose to style it differently by adding two loose braids she accessorized beautifully with ribbon. The result was an eye-catching, stunning updo that’s easy to replicate – perfect for any special event or simply standing out amongst a crowd!
This darling updo is perfect for those with long, medium or short locks who want to add a trendy flair. Starting with a standard three-strand braid and then inverting it for an inverted French braid, ends are then tucked and pins to complete this stunning braided updo look. For added drama add hair pins or headbands if desired!
This elegant and sophisticated updo is ideal for anyone who wishes to make an impression at their next event. Create this look by plaiting half-up braided ponytail secured in back with low, elegant chignon. Finally, the remaining hair is then twisted into an impressive and voluminous bun that will garner compliments galore!
4. The Mini-Braids
Cori Gauff is an unstoppable force on the tennis court with her powerful forehand, and not just because of her powerful serve. But this American player stands out as more than just an exceptional tennis player; she also stands out as a fashion icon who never ceases to grab world attention with her eye-catching fashion choices and signature hairstyles on court.
Gauff’s iconic braids have long been one of her signature looks, not only looking cute and elevating her overall look but also symbolizing her African-American heritage and representing all aspects of who she is as a woman. In 2021, the athlete took this classic look a step further by adding pops of hot pink into the braids’ design – adding an eye-catching new hue for US Open tournament competition that year!
No matter the occasion or competition level, this classic tennis hairstyle will keep your locks out of the way and away from sweaty hands. Simply pull back your locks into a high ponytail secured with elastic bands; for added flair try adding some bobby pins or clips to control flyaways and flyaway ends.
Add curls to your mini braids for an eye-catching and eye-catching look that is sure to turn heads on the courts. This trend won’t fade anytime soon and is easy to implement; all it requires is finding an appropriate curly hair extension and attaching it at the end of each braid – you’re done! You will surely make an impressionful statement about yourself on court!
Before heading onto the courts, make sure that your hair is protected with heat protection spray or serum. This will prevent your strands from becoming dry and brittle while you play while also keeping them looking shiny and healthy. In addition, remember to hydrate during long matches using lightweight leave-in conditioner.
