Top Trending Spring Racing Hairstyles

A textured ponytail is one of the most classic options for race day hairstyles. It offers a glam feel to your outfit while still conveying a relaxed look, which is what spring racing hairstyles should be about.

This particular hairstyle also complements a wide range of necklines, so you won't have to worry about it working with your choice of outfit for the spring races. It also works as an open canvas where you can add hair accessories or pair it with statement earrings.

To recreate a textured ponytail for your race day hairstyle, follow these steps:

1. Prep damp hair with a spritz of sea salt spray. This will help add texture and provide the grip you need to work with.
2. Blast your hair with some heat from your blow dryer, flipping your hair over for added volume. Then, divide your hair into a top and bottom section and secure the bottom section into a tight ponytail.
3. With the top section separate, use a backcombing technique to add texture to your strands. Gently combine it with the bottom section to form one ponytail. Finish with hairspray to help hold everything in place.

You cannot go wrong with glam curls as your choice for a race day hairstyle. The fact that this hairstyle is relatively easy to create is an added bonus, while the finished look adds an effortlessly glamorous touch for race day.

1. Work a styling mousse through your hair, starting at the roots and working your way towards the ends.
2. Use a blow dryer and a flat brush to dry and smooth the hair. Create a deep side part, then divide your hair into four sections.
3. Starting from the front, curl one-inch sections of hair to around ear level. Use a curling iron for this. Once you finish curling each section, pin the curl in place before moving on to the next section. Continue until all of your hair has been curled.
4. Once the curls have cooled, remove the pins and gently brush through the hair to create a softer, glamorous finish.
5. Finish with a shine serum and hairspray to add gloss and help maintain the curls throughout the day.

If you are wearing a high-neck frock, a milkmaid braid can be a beautiful option. It keeps the hair away from your neckline while creating an elegant finish that works particularly well with Spring Carnival fashion.

1. Prep your hair with dry shampoo. This will add texture and body to your strands while helping to absorb excess oil and refresh the hair.
2. Divide your hair into two pigtails and braid each one. Once you have finished braiding, bring both braids up and across the top of your head to create a crown effect.
3. Secure the braids discreetly with pins or clips. You can also accessorise the finished style with a bejewelled headband or other race-day hair accessory.

A fascinator is one of the quintessential accessories for race day. When looking for a spring racing hairstyle that can be worn with a fascinator, the key is to let your headpiece guide your hairstyle.

If you opt for a large statement fascinator, consider keeping your hair relatively simple by wearing it down or styling it into an elegant updo. This allows the fascinator to remain the focus of your look.

If you have chosen a smaller fascinator, you have more opportunity to play with your hairstyle. Think soft layers, curls, waves or added texture to create a more detailed finish. Don't be afraid to be a little adventurous!
