Festival season is officially upon us, thanks to Coachella kicking things off this month. If you’re planning on attending Lollapalooza, Stagecoach, Bonnaroo or any of the other epic music festivals happening this spring and summer, it’s time to start thinking about what killer hairstyle you’ll be rocking on the grounds.
As far as festival hairstyles go, effortless, beachy waves are a classic. And it’s easy to see why—beachy waves radiate ultra-cool vibes. They’re also super versatile and can be easily amped up by adding temporary color, baby braids, or fun accessories like butterfly clips. Plus, they totally align with the boho-chic aesthetic that we’ve come to associate with so many of our favorite music festivals.
While beachy waves do take some effort to achieve, having an amazing selection of products in your festival hair stash, such as BaBylissPRO’s new Nano Titanium™Compact Ionic Deep Waver and a couple wave sprays, can make styling this hairstyle an absolute breeze. Below, find all the products you need to create head-turning beach waves this festival season.
