Its that time of year all over again...FESTIVAL TIME! Okay so your desired fest may not actually be for quite a few months yet, but its definitely time to start planning which ones you're going to go to and start saving for you tickets. So why not start to plan your festival style as well. Im here to help!
Being a huge Festival lover and 'goer' myself, I know the planning that goes into those outfits beforehand, the stocking up of dry shampoo and the hairstyles that cover your grease by day 4!
I am going to be doing a series of posts in the next few weeks, all leading up to the Festivals about each section of style.
So here is #1 - The Hair! Now it really does depend on what kind of hair you have. We aren't all gifted with the natural bouncy locks, and look like a supermodel when we wake up from our sweaty tent. So here are 5 looks which reflect from the grease and still make you look like a rockstar!
Despite the fact that from day one most of us look like this, with a bit of help from our beloved Tangle Teazer and some dry shampoo (maybe a bit of hair spray, but thats going to be a killer in the morning). We can totally look like we've been showering regularly!
The Curls
Im not Hudgens biggest fan, and granted she probably had her personal stylist along with her to the festival, BUT you can still rock the curls like she does through the festival season. Sleep in plaits, put rags in your hair, use moose, or just sleep with a messy bun! Some of you may be lucky enough already to have curly hair naturally, in which case "I WOKE UP LIKE THIS" is much needed!
Curls are also an awesome way of hiding the grease (and dry shampoo!).
The Hat
For those whose hair stylist techniques aren't quite on point, what better way to cover up the mop and still make yourself look super on trend, than by shoving a hat over it! Florence goes for the cute small hat, whereas the Boho chick at the top goes all out with a big'un! Whatever style suits you best, hats are a great way to still look fresh! (although be careful, you will probably lose it in the crowds!).
The Feathers
I can't say I've done this one yet, but I think its definitely on the cards for this year's fest! FEATHERS :) Think hippy, think red indian, think dream catchers! Whatever kind of look you want to go for, they look amazing! Plus, you look like you're a proper festival goer (you know what I mean, who doesn't want to look as though they're natural habitat is a festival!). If you're confident enough to go for the full on headdress DO IT, and add in some plaits too! If not random plaits in the hair with feathers on the end always look super cute (however you need to be comfortable with the messy look, as by the end of the day its not going to look incredible!). Alternatively you can rock it like the girl above and have an up do with the feathers to one side. I think she is wearing a headband, which they're attached to. So I'll be keeping my eye out for one of those and let you know if I find one!
The Headband
Perfect for those of you with maybe shorter hair. Its not long enough for the curls, hats would make you look bald, and the flower power results in a mushroom head! The head band is a good solution. Again its been done, but it looks wicked! Especially if you already have an edge to your style. Make sure you go for the right colour and pattern though, I adore the girl above! Her band goes perfectly with her cowboy esque jacket and matches her lippy, which is only complimented nicely with the reto sunnies! Seriously wish I could pull off that look :)
The Flowers
I don't have to remind you of this trend. It has literally been covering festivals for the last 3 years! THE FLOWER POWER :) Its back with a vengeance, anyone who is actually no one is wearing the flowers. They're even selling them at the festivals themselves! But why not take the next step and make them big, make them bold. Like this girl, she's confident with her array of flowers on her head, and she is rocking it!
The Plait
Plaits, plaits, plaits! Perfect! They keep the greasy fringe out the way, they look insane, the more the merrier when it comes to plaits! If you want to do small random ones or whack in the entire head. Plaits are always going to look awesome and be super practical too! No knots, nice wavy hair at the end of it, who wouldn't want that!
