Festival Hairstyles: Coachella 2015
With first weekend of Coachella kicking off the festival season, we've been loaded with hairspiration here at ZALA! If you're still looking for some festival hairstyles to finish off your look, don't worry! Read on for three fail-safe, yet super-cute hairstyles that tick all the festival boxes.
Festival Hairstyles for Coachella 2015
Festival Hairstyles
Tousled, Beachy Hair
Loose, messy waves
Lets start with this ultra laid-back boho hairstyle. With a festival edge to your regular down-do, this style is perfect for day 1 while your hair is fresh.
To achieve:
-
Apply your clip in extensions for extra thickness and added length to your locks. We love our 24" sets for the perfect amount of length. Shop the full range of 24" extensions here.
-
Using your preferred styling tool of choice, curl your hair creating medium sized loose waves. Alternate the direction with each section you curl to create non-uniform waves. The more 'random' the better, as this effortless effect creates the texture perfect for tousling.
-
Now its time to brush those locks out! If you're wearing hair extensions, be sure to carefully brush through your curls. We highly recommend our Loop Brush to avoid damaging your wefts. This will separate and give a super casual feel.
-
Texturize with a light spray of hairspray or salt spray and scrunch your locks into tousled waves. This finishing step creates the perfect foundation for your second and third day hairstyles.
Flower Crowns, Hair Jewellery and Headbands
Boho Headband
ZALA Crystal Droplet Hair Accessory
For a little less effort involved, pop on a flower crown, headband or hair accessory. Ideal for second day hair to wear with curls from our previous look, or to pair with a loose fishtail braid. With so many variations, hair accessories create endless festival hairstlyes. We've got you covered at ZALA, shop all of our hair accessories here. We particularly love our Crystal Droplet featured in the photo above! This style can help distract from greasy roots when needed. If this doesn't help to hide unwashed hair, dry shampoo will also be your best friend! This handy little product will create freshen your hair while creating texture and volume in your festival locks.
Plaits and braided up-do's
Halo Braid
It's safe to say, braids make the perfect festival hairstyles as they disguise unwashed locks into a pretty weave of hair. They also help to get all that hair out of the way when you're dancing. The best part - they are SO simple and easy to create yet look so intricate and stylish! At ZALA, we are loving the halo/crown braid trend, and deem this hairstyle the perfect festival up-do. To create this look, follow these surprisingly simple steps:
-
Start with unwashed, 2nd or 3rd day hair as this will hold better on hair with more texture and grip. This style will look best with middle-parted hair.
-
Split your hair into two sections like you would to create two loose plaits on either side of your hair starting behind your ear. Whether it be fishtail, french plait etc. - the choice is yours! Any braid will work with this pretty style. Secure with clear hair elastics.
-
Loosen your braids by pulling and seperating. Don't worry if your hair is layered! Messy plaits will create a more relaxed, boho look.
-
Starting with one side, take the end of your plait, wrap it over your hair to reach the other side. This will be discreetly hidden at the base of your other braid. Secure with plenty of bobby pins and repeat on the other side.
-
Pull out front sections/layers of your hair to frame your face and create a messy, boho style. Play around with your halo braid to finish the look.
We hope these give you inspiration for easy, festival-friendly hairstyles. Us ZALA girls love how effortless and pretty these looks are. Will you be wearing your Zala extensions to Coachella this year? Show us your festival photos on Facebook and Instagram #zalahairextensions
