Tennis Hair Is Having A Moment
Whether you’re au fait with the racquet or prefer to watch the singles match from the sidelines, there’s no doubt that tennis-inspired hair is having a moment. With Wimbledon coming to a close, we have been reminded of excellent sporty hairstyles of days gone by – from Anna Kournikova’s famous long braid (recently recreated by Zendaya) to white spandex hairbands and other hair accessories.
Here are some of our favourites:
White headband
An easy retro accessory to add into up-dos or loose hairstyles, elasticated white headbands are also incredibly affordable.
Braids
Sloane Stephens; Venus and Serena Williams; and Anna Kournikova. Some of the tennis greats have used plaits or braids to keep their hair off their faces while getting sweaty – and they couldn’t be chicer.
Big bows
When Zendaya debuted a Kournikova braid for the London premiere of Challengers, her hairstylist Ursula Stephen tied a bow around the base for a cute finish.
Oversized scrunchies
Level up a sporty ponytail with an oversized scrunchie – bonus points if it’s white.
