Festival Fever...

Festival Fever...

Festival Fever...

With the summer gripped in festival fever, the laid back summer vibe is infectious at the moment! The high street is awash with Boho inspired clothing and whilst the sun is shining it’s all about easy, breezy days, summer BBQ’s and festivals… So what better excuse for a little master class on festival inspired hair, think simple, chic, easy peaty styling that will work from day to night and from rocking out to lounging poolside…

The three most popular and easy styles are “Summer Waves”, “Hippy Chic” and the “ Barely There Up-Do” and here’s how to do it;

“Summer Wave” is more of a bend than a wave or a curl and you can achieve this by plaiting your hair before you go to bed and when you wake up, release the plait and shake out for that beach/bed head vibe… (Or a quick favourite of mine) is to plait large sections of hair, spritz with Schwarzkopf Session label sea salt spray (fab for tousled grit and texture) and clamp each plait with the straightening irons then leaving to cool! VoilĂ !

“Hippy Chic” works on short, medium or long hair, simply dry your hair with lots of texture, preferably on a centre parting (although this can work with a deep side parting too) then with large barrelled tongs take large sections and staring half way down the hair wrap the hair around the tong, leaving the end section straight. Repeat on all sections and leave to cool (don’t take too many sections, aim for roughly 6 sections) then with either a soft bristle brush or just your fingers and shake out sections and apply Schwarzkopf Sparkler shine spray for a soft light finish…

“Barely There up-do” secure your hair in a loose pony tail and when you come to do the final loop DON’T pull it all the way through (so the ends are trapped in the band leaving you with a loop and free ends). Gently backcomb the ends and the loop to give it texture and bulk, sprinkle in Schwarzkopf Dust It powder wax to add lightweight super hold texture, then using grips, grip all the way forming a rough bun shape, tuck in or keep out as many bits as you like and embrace the textured, mussed up vibe creating a barely there thrown together look…

So travel light this summer, pack your hero products Schwarzkopf Salt Spray, Sparkler and Dust It, keep styling minimal and simple and rock that Festival Fever look…
