3 Summer Festival Hair Styling Tips

Get your friends, book your flights and prepare for the summer line-ups because festival season is here, and it’s your time to shine. As spring wraps up, people are ready to have a good time and let loose, watching their favorite artists perform. However, this could spell trouble for those rocking their natural hair.

There are some things that everyone should take into account when planning out their summer festival hairstyles. From dancing in large crowds to braving the sweltering hot summer days for hours on end, we at ECO STYLE are here to give you a few tips to ensure that your hair continues to defy definition.

Tip #1: Prepare for the weather

One of the most difficult things for your hair to overcome is harsh weather. As it gets closer to the festival date, be sure to check the local news or the weather app to plan and style your hair accordingly. If the conditions are known to be a bit temperamental or unpredictable, a protective style is the best way to go. In calmer, more predictable conditions, you may be able to experiment a bit more.

Tip #2: Flex your creativity

Your hair is your canvas. It’s yours to tweak, curl, comb out, hold up or lay down as you see fit within your creative vision. Don’t be afraid to add your own personal flare by dyeing it, trying out a temporary color wax or accessorizing. Putting in some barrettes, beads, metallic string, glitter or clip-ons is a great way to show off your true colors for the world to see!

Tip #3: Edge control is the way to go

If there’s one thing almost every summer festival has in common, it’s that you are going to sweat. While sweat is necessary to help you cool off on hot summer days, it can also create some unforeseen hair challenges. No one wants to get caught with frizzed-out edges, so remember to bring a to-go edge control with you, just in case.
