On a lawn at Solidays, in the middle of the crowd at We Love Green or in front of a stage at Dour, it’s not just the line-up that catches the eye. Between colorful glasses, glitter on the cheeks and crop tops, the festival hairstyle is becoming the number one fashion accessory.
Good news, these looks aren’t just for weekends in tents. Worn with the right accessories, a hairstyle designed for Coachella or Tomorrowland can easily be transformed into a Monday morning ally. The idea is to focus on modular styles, which add pep day after day.
Choose your festival hairstyle according to your mood
Before taking out the glitter, you first look at the length and nature of your hair, the predicted heat and the time you have available. For a whole day of dancing in the dust, braids or tied hair hold up better: some styles are designed to stay in place for 8 to 12 hours.
Those who prefer peace and quiet opt for boxer braids or braided braids, capable of surviving three to five days of camping without flinching. Others will want a bohemian vibe with waves, or a more rock energy with a high ponytail. And again, everything is easily recycled in the office.
Loose hair: wavy, square and half-tied
Wavy hair remains the simplest base for a festival. On dry hair, spray a texturizing spray then form a few twists with an iron or your finger. For the ground, you can add rhinestones along the parting; for everyday life, we just keep the movement.
On a bob, a slight wavy and a parting in the middle immediately gives a festival look, especially if you braid the two strands that frame the face with small transparent elastics. And then, at the end of the day, this same look can be worn very well without accessories, for a date or a meeting.
Updos, braids and accessories that add pep
For those who really want to make a statement, space buns, these double high buns placed on each side of the head, remain a classic. You can straighten them or wear them blurred, with a few free strands. On Monday, simply transform them into a unique low bun for a much more demure version.
Bohemian braids, bubble braids or crown braid tame wayward hair days while remaining very photogenic. As for hair accessories, bandanas, scarves, head jewelry, hair chains, sequins and rhinestones are enough to completely change the atmosphere. Because ultimately, everything comes down to these little duos of looks:
- wavy + glitter roots at the festival, nude wavy the next day;
- boxer braids while camping, loose wavy hair for recovery;
- high ponytail with scarf, smooth pony for office.
To remove the flakes, first massage the scalp with an oil or balm before shampooing, in order to preserve the fiber and avoid rubbing too much.
