Festival Hair Ideas You Need This Season

Festival look: Main stage volume

Curly or coily hair? This rich, weightless styling gel is your festival BFF. It delivers hydrated, defined curls with a medium hold, so you can dance all day without losing that bounce. Infused with Shea Butter, Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe Vera, it keeps your curls soft, smooth and full of life. Plus, the Colour Guard Complex means your colour stays vibrant through every set.

Step one: Start with wet hair, applying the gel evenly from roots to ends.

Step two: Scrunch your curls upwards to encourage definition and volume.

Step three: Let your hair air dry or diffuse until fully dry.

Step four: Scrunch out the crunch for soft, touchable curls. Add a little more product if you want extra definition.

Festival look: Wet look, slicked back bun

For that effortlessly cool bun we’re all obsessed with right now, reach for this nourishing Argan Oil. It softens, moisturises and smooths - perfect for unpredictable UK festival weather. Lightweight but powerful, a little goes a long way to keep your hair looking glossy and polished from the first set to the last.

Step one: Start with damp or dry hair and take a small amount of oil.

Step two: Rub between your palms to warm it up.

Step three: Smooth over your hair, focusing on mid-lengths to ends and any flyaways.

Step four: Style into a sleek bun or slicked-back look.

Festival look: Dry shampoo dreaming

One thing’s for sure: festivals don’t always come with home comforts. When a hot shower and shampoo aren’t an option, we can always rely on this dry shampoo to - you guessed it - perk up every hair type. It’s perfect for amping up the volume to festival hairstyles for thin hair, too - it’s an unbeatable base. 

Step one: Position your arm (dry shampoo in hand) about 15 cm from your hair, and mist onto the roots.

Step two: Let it sit for a few minutes, before massaging the product into your hair and brushing out to finish.

Step three: Want extra oil absorption? Use it before you fall asleep to wake up with beautiful-smelling hair for breakfast.

Festival look: Face framing bubble braids

Want your bubble festival braids to pop all day long? This strong-but-gentle finishing spray has your back. It locks in your style without ever feeling crunchy or heavy. With a delicious Vanilla, Passion Fruit and Apple scent, it smells as fresh as it looks. Oh, and the Colour Guard Complex protects colour, too, so your vibrant hues don’t fade under the festival sun.

Step one: Blow-dry and style your hair as normal.

Step two: Spray evenly on dry hair to lock in your look.

Festival look: 90’s Blow Out 

Channel those iconic 90’s vibes with a voluminous blowout that moves with you from stage to stage. This nourishing volume mousse protects your hair from heat styling, all while giving your locks a soft, airy bounce with absolutely no sticky residue. Thanks to Provitamin B5, your festival hair will feel stronger in the long term - five days camping might have its benefits after all.

Step one: Shake well and spray a small amount into your palms.

Step two: Apply evenly to damp hair from roots to ends.

Step three: Let your hair air dry for natural volume or blow-dry for that full-on bounce.

Festival look: Beachy waves

Nothing says festival like effortlessly tousled beachy waves right? This multi-tasking texturising spray adds just the right amount of hold for natural waves or updos. Enriched with Sunflower Seed Extract, it nourishes your hair with Vitamins and Minerals to keep it happy and healthy… because festival hair should feel as good as it looks.

Step one: Spritz onto damp hair before blow-drying.

Step two: For soft, natural waves, let your hair air dry without any heat.

Step three: Want more texture? Scrunch or twist sections while drying.

Festival look: Shower fresh

When you’re dancing through the day and showers aren’t on the itinerary, this clever cleansing powder is your secret weapon. It soaks up oil, product buildup and impurities giving your hair a second-wind without water. Plus, it adds a touch of texture so it’s perfect for easy festival hairstyles that don’t quit.

Step one: Shake the powder carefully onto roots or through the ends for extra texture.

Step two: Use your fingers or a brush to work the powder into your hair and scalp.

Step three: Style as usual and enjoy that fresh-from-the-shower vibe all festival long.

Festival look: Ready for the afterglow​

Sometimes the best part of a festival is the moment you can crawl into your own bed after a long, hot shower. And for these much-needed self-care moments, we choose a hair mask to treat ours to some love.

Step one: Smooth this sleeping mask onto dry hair and cover with the provided cap to seal in the goodness.

Step two: Set your alarms (or don’t), before settling in for some beauty sleep.

Step three: Wake and rinse, making sure all product is removed with a gentle shampoo.

Step four: Admire the dreamy results while you curate your Instagram drop.
