- Hey everyone.
I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles.
Today is exciting
because we are going to do five graduation hairstyles.
Now, everybody, it's the time of year,
everyone's graduating,
you wanna do something cute with your hair.
Everyone has a love/hate relationship
with wearing these caps sitting on your head funny,
so today we're gonna show you
all the great things you can do that will pep up your hair
that both look good
with the cap on and with the cap off.
And if you guys haven't already subscribed to my channel,

Let's get to the video.
(upbeat music)
I feel like most people wear their caps like this.
So they just kind of wear 'em down on their forehead.
The hats have gotten a lot better.
They're not quite as pointy as they used to be.
There's just a subtle point right here on your forehead.
And then I feel like girls wear curls underneath,
and this looks fine.
You can totally do this,
but I think it's more fun if you jazz it up.
So, the first thing I'm gonna show you guys
is a way to not have the point on your forehead, okay?
So you're gonna take your cap
and you're just gonna fold that fabric down
so that it's not nearly as pointy.
And depending on the size of your forehead,
you can go more folded or less folded.
It's up to you.
And then you put the cap back on your head,
but you put it back farther.
You might have to do some bobby pins to hold it in place,
but then it sits, you can see,
it just sits back a little bit farther.
It allows for more of your forehead to show
and those little front, like,
if you have your hair highlighted like I do,
the money pieces show a little bit better.
So once you get it folded and positioned
back behind your forehead, your part lines
so you have the little money pieces hanging out,
I think it's fun if you take some little clips,
you can see the ones I have here.
They could match the dress
that you wanna wear that day,
they could match your school colors.
It depends on how you wanna play it.
And you just take them and pop them on right here,
pointing towards the back of your head on the cap,
just for a little added something, something,
and that is style number one.
Okay, for the next hairstyle, we need an elastic
because we are going to do a low ponytail.
So swoop your hair back
however you like doing your ponytails
and fix it accordingly.
So I like mine lower.
You could do it like mid-head if you wanted,
but you couldn't go any higher than that
because you need your hat on.
So low is probably gonna be the best option really.
You can pull out some front pieces if you want 'em,
like this.
Okay, and then I always secure my hair.
And when you get your ponytail styled the way you want it,
then you take this fun bow or any fun bow.
Match your school colors, match your dress again.
Put it on the back of your ponytail.
So I'll turn so you can see it.
Now you're gonna add your hat.
We're gonna do,
you could really could do it with the folded down version
or the front version out.
Put your hat on, get ya situated,
and you have a fun little accent underneath the hat.
If you tuck this like I showed you before up and under,
you could situate it back farther on your head
and leave your pieces out even more.
It just depends on personal preference.
Up next,
we have now done a cute ponytail.
We are going to do a chunky braid.
So take this section of your hair.
You don't want it too close to your face.
You want it sitting back a little bit,
and it needs to be a pretty good size piece of hair, okay?
'Cause you want the braid to look thick and full.
And you are just going to do a braid, okay?
I take the outside pieces in on this one
'cause I think it lays a little flatter
and nicer on the head.
You're just gonna braid it.
A simple braid.
Don't do it too tight.
We want it to kind of look boho and relaxed.
And when you get to the end, secure it with an elastic.
And remember, if you still think it feels too structured,
you can go back afterwards
and pull and tug.
And don't be afraid to have bigger pieces,
smaller pieces, just really loosen that braid up
'cause we want it to look relaxed.
And then you're gonna let it sit
so it's just kind of hiding,
popping out under the rest of your hair
like this on the side.
And then you're gonna take your cap and put it on
however you want to wear it
with the point out or the point hidden,
and you have just a fun braid that pops out underneath.
And especially when you flip your tassel,
I can't remember now if it goes left to right
or right to left, but when you flip your tassel,
then you have this little zhuzh hiding in your hair.
Hey guys, we finished the side braid,
the little chunky side braid, but we're gonna mix it up.
So if you take just for funsies,
if you take a piece like this, I'm actually gonna start,
I just want my front wispies out.
I'm gonna take this piece.
I'm gonna go to the braid and up here at the top,
I'm gonna stick my fingers through one of the loops
and just pull it through.
And then I'm gonna go down a loop,
pick up another little piece,
pull it through.
Go down a loop, pick up another little piece,
pull it through
until I pretty much have all that hair
picked up and through, but really loose and relaxed.
And then you can see what I've done
is create kind of this fun waterfall moment
that's like side hair going through
and kind of hides the braid even more, which is really fun
and very different, kind of a cool boho-y version.
Okay, for our last hairstyle,
we're gonna do two bubble braids right here in front.
So what we're gonna do
is take a little piece of hair.
You want maybe like an inch.
Don't go too far back,
'cause gotta get your hat on, don't forget.
But you want it to be, you know, like an inch,
a good pencil-width hair, okay?
Start by doing an elastic.
And you can do elastics to match your school colors,
you could do elastics
just white to match a dress
if you were wearing a white dress, whatever you want here.
Basically you just start bubbling it, okay?
So you're pulling em,
laying 'em, and there you go.
See, bubble, bubble, bubble.
Just making those little bubbles.
You can do 'em tighter together, closer together,
whatever you like.
(upbeat music)
And just as needed so that it just kind of sits and lays.
So let's do the other side.
(upbeat music)
I like to just try to keep track
of how many I did on the first side
so I can mimic it on the second side.
You wouldn't want four on the first side
and 20 on the second side.
And I am just using the little Hairitage by Mindy elastics,
you can see.
When you get your cute little bubble braids all finished,
then you can decide whether you wanna fold the cap
or lay it flat on your forehead.
I actually don't mind it flat on the forehead on this one.
It's gonna cover the top little bubbles,
but I think you still get enough of it,
'cause I have longer hair, to see the bubble effect,
and it kind of helps keep 'em laid flat a little bit.
And then, you know, do the whole walk thing
and you have this cute little pop in your hair, the end.
That's it, you guys.
We just gave you five awesome ideas
for things you can wear in your hair for graduation
that will still look so cute under the cap
and really mix it up and make your hair different
than everybody else's that day.
