Start with spraying a leave in product like Desert Essence Hair Defrizzer & Heat Protectant – this provides a moisture coat to protect from the drying sun rays while it smoothes. Secure it with pins and finish with Alterna Anti-Humidty Hair Spray to define all your whispy hairs.

Music Festivals are so much fun! I do like all of the hairstyles also!
Your article is really amazing and I think all of these are pretty good but most I like the fishtail braid. In this hairstyle, you don’t need to tie your hair completely and it looks cool and fashionable too.
I like the Beach Waves and Messy Bun. These are great ideas!
All the styles look great. Sometimes I just have to laugh at some of the photos of celebrities at these music festivals. They clearly want to look very boho but the look is so ‘put together’ —the very opposite of bohemian.
This post is so much fun and tempts you to try something new! I’d love to try beach waves, and knowing the nice products to use and made in USA makes it a must!
I’d like to try a few of these ideas, and the products, too! I’m doing the wide-headband thing, which means I don’t know what to do with my hair right now, kind of in-between! Nice to know the products made in USA to check out!
With Firefly coming up in just a month, I will have to share these with my daughter!
Wow ! this is great post, i will definitely back and read again…
These are all great styles. I guess my favorites are the Beach Waves and Messy Bun. I don’t care for styles that are so polished with no hair out of place. Wouldn’t make much since for any outdoor festival I don’t think.
Nothing is easier than a messy top knot. Plus, it’s so effortlessly chic!
Beachy waves all the way. On the other hand, if I never saw another top knot on a woman, I’d be fine.
