Elevate Your Summer Hair Game: Expert Tips for Festival Season
Festivals are a time for great music, dancing, and of course, looking your best. Whether you're attending Lollapalooza in Chicago, Coachella in California, or any other festival, your hair is essential to your overall look. Let’s explore some of the latest hair trends for festival hair and share tips on restoring moisture to your hair after being in the sun all day!
Braids: Braids are a classic festival hairstyle that will never go out of style. They keep your hair in place and looking fabulous all day long without having to restyle. Use a leave-in conditioner like Refresh to smooth your hair and offer some sun protection.
Beachy waves: Nothing says summer like beachy waves. To achieve this look, use a curling iron to create loose waves and add some Texture Powder for extra hold and volume.
Hair accessories: Accessories can complement your look and control your hair simultaneously. Headbands, hair clips, and hats are great accessories to add some flare to your style. Flower crowns are a popular festival accessory that makes you feel like a bohemian queen!
Short and textured: Short and textured hair is a popular trend for men at summer festivals. Short hair is always a staple, and it can help keep you cool in the summer heat. Style it using matte pomade or styling cream to add some separation and hold.
Faded undercut and mullet: The faded undercut or updated mullet is seen all over. The undercut features short sides and a longer top, which can be styled with a matte pomade for a sleek look. The updated mullet has given the mullet some newfound respect! Tapered on the sides and shifting to a manageable length in the back is a fresh update for this look. Style it using styling cream or molding paste to hold it in place and maintain the flow through the back.
Ponytail: No more “man bun” jokes. A simple ponytail can be sleek and effective! Tie your hair into a high ponytail and wrap it into a bun. Use a hair tie and some leave-in conditioner to keep it in place.
Festivals start during the day and keep us cruising through the night. All of the sun exposure can be an issue for your hair. It can cause your hair to lose moisture and become unruly. Use a moisturizing shampoo that contains ingredients like Moringa oil, shea butter, or Jojoba oil to restore moisture to your hair and leave it feeling soft and smooth.
If you have longer hair and need to give it more love, try a deep-conditioning hair mask. A deep conditioner can penetrate the hair strand and restore moisture lost in the heat. It will also make your hair more manageable. Apply a hair mask once a week to give your hair some extra TLC.
A leave-in conditioner is a great way to restore moisture to your hair throughout the day. Apply some on your hair before heading out to the festival and reapply as needed! The great thing about a leave-in conditioner is that it absorbs into the hair and will give you a natural look while protecting your strands.
Whether you're rocking braids, a modern mullet, or a flower crown, the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the music. With these tips and trends, you will be ready to look good while you dance the day away at the next festival!
