Coachella marked the start of festival season, and on top of giving us the return of Frank Ocean and Zendaya on stage, we also witnessed enough bold and whimsical hair inspiration to last through the year. From baby fringe braids to bedazzled hair accessories, it’s safe to say festival hairstyles have moved past viral TikTok status and are here to stay. Festival hair trends are everywhere, but finding tutorials and styles that work with your natural hair texture can be a challenge. Whether you are planning to attend a festival soon or just want to try some new styles out this season, here are easy festival hairstyles you can try on curly and textured hair.
Hair Accessories for Festivals
One of the easiest ways to incorporate festival inspiration into a style is by using hair accessories. For a trendy Y2K look, try a fluffy bucket hat over a protective style or multicolored hair clips all over your picked out hair. For a bold and ethereal look, try out pearled or bedazzled edges or the blinger hair tool with a slicked back side-part.
Here are some tutorials to get you started.

Temporary Hair Color for Festivals
Dying your hair for a festival is a big commitment, luckily there are brands that have found that niche market of people that fantasize about fantasy hair colors, but only for a short-period of time (me included). If you’re looking to change up your colors temporarily and maintain the health of your hair, here are a few options to achieve festival hair quickly.
