1960s & 70s Festival Waves

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, festivals such as Woodstock and Glastonbury saw women let their hair flow naturally into tousled barely there waves. This look is a bit messy and your curl has almost lost its wave. Wear your hair in a centre parting and you’ll have this look nailed! If your hair needs a boost, why not add a loose plait. This will help you retain the curl once you remove the plait.

Boho Beach Babe Hairstyles

Evoke your inner goddess and celebrate all things sun and sea with some soft, deconstructed, flowing waves. For the ultimate beach babe look, take sections of your hair, varying in size and wrap around your styling tong, holding for around 3-5 seconds. (Add your hair protection spray first though!) Once the entire hair has been done, you can keep your waves tight or run your fingers through them for a more tousled look.

Hippy-Chick Curly Hair

Inspired by the long, carefree hair worn by women during the mid-60s hippie movement, the imperfect curl is one of the hottest looks at the moment. Transform your curls into relaxed, unravelled waves by brushing them through after styling. This soft look pairs well with natural skin, brushed eyebrows and bare lips.

Bohemian Braids & Curls

Braids have had a revolution in the past couple of years. From Fishtails to Waterfalls to chunky messy braids, there are plenty of new and exciting plaited looks to try out. Best of all? A firm braid will look good all day long – PERFECT for those long festival days! No good at braiding? Not to worry. Add a few simple plaits to your messy, flowing, boho locks to achieve a similar look in a matter of seconds.
