There are many features that create the aesthetic of a fairy in our imagination, whether it’s the whimsical wings, the ethereal vibes they evoke, the enchanting fairy hairstyle, or their intimidating pointy ears. Their aesthetic is so powerful that it makes us truly wish they were real. Maybe it’s because we actually want to believe that magic is real and can be part of our lives, or maybe because we’d love to fly around an enchanting Nordic forest at night, unafraid, and fall asleep in the velvet hug of a rose.
Faeries are mystical, enchanting creatures that have been part of human myths and legends for hundreds of years. And if you’re reading this post, it’s probably because these magical little ladies are as appealing to you as they are to me. Maybe you want to feel closer to the fairy aesthetic, or maybe you’re just looking for a fairy hairstyle to match a costume.
Either way, in this post, I’ve listed some stunning hairstyle ideas for any type of fairy hair, so you can embrace the aesthetic and get closer to creating your own fairytale-inspired lifestyle
At The Mood Guide, I advocate for authenticity above all else. We only live once—as far as we know—so you should embrace and become whoever you want to be.
So, if you want to be a fairy with colorful hair, you damn well should go for it. Fairies are magical, and magic is never boring or predictable. It’s creative, mysterious, powerful, and fun.
That’s why a colorful, bold, and playful hairstyle is the perfect match for an enchanting and sweet faerie.
Did you know that elves are also a type of fairy? You probably know one from The Fellowship of the Ring, the Sindarin elf Legolas, with his long silver hair, heroic character, and great respect and appreciation for nature. Curiosity: Elves are very popular in Iceland. According to the Icelandic Tourist Board, 80 percent of the country’s people believe elves exist. Elvish hairstyles are simple, long, and usually embellished with tiny braids or nature inspired headdresses such as crystals and flowers.
For an easy fairy hairstyle that works out for short and long hair, the flower, celestial or nature-inspired crown makes a perfect and magic statement.

Braids are probably one of the hairstyles with more mystical meanings associated with it. From The Wheel of Time to Game of Thrones, the female characters with braided hairstyles evoke a mix of power with strength and sweetness. Add some flowers to it and you will look and feel like a perfect, strong, and sweet fairy.

Sometimes I relate fairies to tiny ¨human¨ butterflies. The wings, the playful colors, the close relation with nature… so butterfly hair clips are a great and easy way to bring a fairy vibe to your look.
And to finish, this cute and easy Tinkerbell – inspired bun.
