Braided Crown with Mermaid Waves

Need something simple? The braided crown never fails! This boho chic hairstyle only takes a few minutes to complete, and it’ll transform you into the Coachella queen you were always meant to be. All you have to do is part your hair down the middle, then clip in a festival hair extension on either side of the part. Create two little baby braids, securing them together with an elastic. Add some waves to the rest of your hair, and you’re good to go!

Voluminous Cornrows into a Braided Bun

This festival hairstyle is BIG on volume! To create the look, start by parting your hair into three equal sections. Tease the top section with a comb, clip in the jumbo hair braid of your choice, and weave it into your natural hair to create a tall, voluminous braid (similar to a mohawk). Make two Dutch braids on both sides of your head, then gather all the braids into a low bun. It looks elaborate, but it’s surprisingly easy!

Simple Braided Princess Headband

Want your hair down AND out of your face? Well, we’ve got the ‘do for you! The braided headband is exactly what it sounds like—a Dutch braid that looks like you’re wearing a headband! This is another one of those hairstyles that’s surprisingly easy to do. Just part your hair from ear to ear, then braid that front section from one ear to the other. Secure with an elastic, and pin in the ends. That’s all there is to it!

Upside-Down Braided Updo with Jewelry

We’re totally in love with the upside-down braided updo. A single hair braid runs straight up the back of your head before ending in a high messy bun. Start by flipping over your hair, then clip your fav festival hair extension at the nape of your neck (it’s not called the upside-down braid for nothing!). Make a small French braid, secure with an elastic, then gather all your hair into a bun. You can even deck out the braid with metallic rings for extra glam!

Double Dainty Braids into a Half-Up Bun

Got short hair? This ‘do was made for you! It features not one but TWO unicorn braids that end in a braided little bun. All you gotta do is part your hair down the middle, then create a tiny Dutch braid along either side of the part. Tie off the braids, weave ‘em into a bun, and curl the rest of your hair. Use neon feed-in braids for an extra pop of color!

Half-Up ‘Do with Braided Space Buns

We all love space buns. They’re basically the official hairstyle of raves and music festivals. What could possibly make ‘em even better?? Hair braids, that’s what! The extra strands add SERIOUS volume to space buns—not to mention glowy, rainbow-y fun! Clip the braids into your roots, weave ‘em into your natural hair, then coil the braids into two large space buns. Add more braids and leave ‘em hangin’ for a cool half-up, half-down lewk!

Colorful Twists into a High Ponytail

Things are about to get TWISTED up in this biotch! For this hairstyle, you’re gonna create a crown of tiny twists that start at your hairline and go towards the back of your head—kind of like cornrows, except they’re twists instead of three-strand braids. Be sure to weave in some colorful hair extensions so those twists have a little neon pop. Or, you can get tinsel extensions that sparkle and shine under the rave lights!

Dutch Braids into a Braided Bonanza

You ready for this last festival hairstyle? Cuz it’s got more braids than all the others combined! The ‘do starts off simple with two Dutch braids. Once you tie ‘em off at the nape of your neck, the fun REALLY begins. Transform the loose strands into fishtail braids, bubble braids and three-strand braids galore! You could even clip in multicolored hair extensions and combine different patterns in a single braid. Be creative, and go nuts!

FAQs about Festival Hair Braids

Not sure how to wear hair braids? You will after reading our handy-dandy Q&A!

How do you add colorful braids to your hair?

It’s simple! Just clip ‘em in at your roots, then braid the extensions and your natural hair together. Be sure to pick up both synthetic and natural strands as you go along. For festival braids that don’t come with clips, thread a bobby pin through the synthetic strands, then push the pin into your natural hair.

How do you curl your hair with braids?

Synthetic strands last the longest when you don’t curl ‘em. But you can still achieve that curly ‘do if you handle the festival braids with care! Put your curling iron on the lowest setting, and apply a heat-protectant spray to the synthetic strands. Then, curl the festival hair how you normally would with your natural locks.

How long does your hair have to be to use braids?

Here’s a simple test: if you can braid it, you can add FESTIVAL braids to it! They work great on nearly all lengths, even if you have short hair. Your hair just has to be long enough to hold a braid. And hey, baby braids are just as fierce as jumbo ones!

How do you prep your hair to use jumbo hair braids?

Jumbo hair braids work best on dirty hair. Your scalp might feel nasty, but the grease and grime give festival braids extra hold. So, go ahead and skip a wash! There’s limited access to showers at weekend-long festivals, anyway. You’ll also wanna comb hair gel through your natural locks to smooth ‘em over and tame fly-aways.
