The Galway Races 2025 are quickly approaching. While horses take the track’s centre stage, take your moment to shine in the stands. This iconic event is not just about winning races; it is a vibrant celebration of fashion, glamour, and individuality. Whether you are a race day regular or making your debut, The Hair & Beauty Company will help you look and feel fabulous all day long.
To help you get ready for a fabulous day at the races, The Hair & Beauty Company has compiled a list of hair and beauty tips and tricks that will have you turning heads as you cheer on your favourite horses.
Plan your race day look ahead
Before the big day at Ballybrit, take some time to plan your entire Galway Race Day look. Consider the dress code and theme of the event, as well as the weather forecast. You will want to choose hairstyles that not only complement your outfit but also withstand various weather conditions. With the right prep, your hair will stay flawless from the first race to the final race.
The power of hair extensions
For instant glamour at the Galway Races, consider the power of hair extensions. They offer versatile solutions for immediate length, incredible volume, or a fresh style. Achieve dream curls or flowing locks without the wait, and easily experiment with intricate updos or voluminous waves. Moreover, change your look without damaging your natural hair, thus making it simple to get a polished style on a busy race day.
Weatherproof hair that wows
Days at the Galway Races often involve a lot of walking, cheering, and possibly windy weather. Classic options such as a low bun, a stylish ponytail, or soft waves are elegant choices that will stay intact throughout the day. Use bobby pins, hair spray, and other styling products to secure your hairdo and keep any flyaways in check.
Fascinators, hats and head-turning accessories
No Galway Races look is complete without fabulous headwear, and your chosen hairstyle is key to making it truly shine. If you opt for a bold, statement fascinator or a dramatic hat, keeping your hair sleek and simple prevents a cluttered look, allowing your headpiece to be the star. Consider a sleek ponytail, an elegant low bun, or a subtle side bun for asymmetrical styles. For more minimalistic headbands or smaller fascinators, you might explore soft waves or a sophisticated updo, ensuring your hairstyle complements both the headwear and your face shape.
Glowing skin for your Galway Race Week appearance
For a sun-kissed and radiant complexion without the harmful effects of UV rays, consider using self-tanning products. A well-applied self-tan can give you a healthy glow and even out your skin tone, creating a flawless canvas for your Race Day look.
Polished perfection
Completing your Race Day look involves paying attention to the smallest details, including your nails. Gel nail polish is an excellent choice for horse races as it offers a long-lasting, chip-resistant finish that can withstand the excitement of the day. Do not forget about your feet! A pedicure is essential, especially if you plan to wear open-toe shoes during Race Week.
Your race day beauty essential kit
Prepare a small beauty essentials kit to bring along with you. Include items such as a compact mirror, hairpins, and a travel-sized hairspray. Having these items will help you maintain your look throughout the day and ensure your day at the races runs smoothly.
