As Coachella approaches, it’s time to plan your festival look from head to toe, starting with your fabulous locks! Picture this: the sun-kissed glow, the sound of music filling the air, and your hair flowing in the desert breeze—it’s the epitome of Coachella magic. Whether you’re channeling boho chic with braids and beads or opting for effortless waves with a touch of sparkle, your Coachella hair is key to capturing that free-spirited vibe.
Check out my favorite music festival hair style ideas and trends to rock at Coachella this year and elevate your festival style to the next level.
FESTIVAL HAIR TRENDS
hair charms
rubberband ponytail
Elevate the classic ponytail with playful rubber bands in vibrant hues or metallic to create a chic and easy ponytail look. Perfect for keeping your hair out of your face while dancing the day away to your favorite artists, making them as practical as they are cool.
hair bling
Make a statement with eye-catching hair bling, from sparkling hair jewels, decorative bobby pins to cool hair chains weaved into your boxer braids. Your festival hairstyle is just another way to accessorize your outfit, and why not catch some eyes while shining in the desert sun while you’re at it?
glitter
Whether you’re dancing under the desert stars or under the sunny rays by the beach add a shimmering touch of glitter to add a little sparkle to your festival hairstyle. From subtle shimmer in your braids to bold glitter roots, the possibilities are endless when it comes to incorporating glitter into your hair. Luckily, there’s no such thing as too much hair glitter at a music festival, so go ahead and let yourself shine.
pearl accents
Embrace timeless elegance with the captivating allure of pearl accents in your hair. Whether you’re channeling Bohemian vibes with tousled beach waves or in you soft girl era with a messy ponytail, add in a few pearl accents to add a touch of feminine to your hairstyle. We love the different ways these babes have taken strands of faux pearls and incorporated them into their hair.
colorful braids
Infuse your braids with vibrant hues for a fun and playful look that compliments your festival look and works for every hair type. From pastel highlights to bold rainbow strands wove into your hairstyle, experiment with color to express whatever vibes your rocking this festival season.
textured braids
Elevate your braids with texture and dimension incorporating anything from delicate flowers, small little baby braids, or even a Boho hair scarf to compliment your festival look. Whether you’re in your girly feminine era or feeling more edgy this festival season, consider leveling up your braid game.
butterflies
I love that butterflies and more specifically, that butterfly clips are making a comeback and bringing me right back to my middle school days. Embrace this whimsy trend and add a touch of ethereal earth goddess vibes to your look with old school butterfly clips or these realistic butterfly barrettes we found on Etsy, that look like a few just happened to land on your head and form the perfect festival crown. (Flower crowns are so out, IMO)

The hottest festival hair trends for this summer are space buns or messy bun, secured with bobby pins, add a touch of glitter to make your look next level. Depending on your hair type you made need to add in some dry shampoo or some elastic band to secure your long hair. We also love hair accessories like hair rings or flower crowns, which are a great way to make you stand out in the crowd at music festivals. Other festival hair ideas that we love are the braid, but with a modern twist! Think mini braids, a french braid, but add in some , fishtail braid, baby braids or a high ponytail on the side of your head to make you stand out this festival weekend. A festival look that is extremely popular this year is the bubble ponytail, add in some hair glitter or colorful elastic bands to create these easy hairstyles. For curly hair or beachy waves, use a curling iron and secure with some butterfly hair clips. We also love glitter hair!
