Festival Hair Ideas: Which products to use?

With festival season approaching you are going to have many clients coming to you for styling tips, tricks and help. Your clients might think that finding a quick and easy hairstyle is impossible, but they want something easy yet cool to enhance their festival look. We have found 4 festival looks that you can suggest your clients to rock this festival season.

Glitter is an absolute must-have for a festival look, whether that be on your makeup or in your hair. The braids and buns are a simple and quick look to achieve whilst at a festival. We highly recommend that if your clients want their plaits and glitter to stay in throughout the day dancing and enjoying the festival then HD Life Style Hairspray Extreme is the right one for them, and you can also sell this to your clients for hair maintenance across the festival period, with an extremely strong hold and no stickiness or residue left behind, this is great for the quick, easy updo. As well as using the hairspray to hold in their style, clients might want to consider using grips like the Streaker Hairpins, designed in Blonde, Brown and Black to suit all hair colours. Not only do the grips and hairspray give a sleek and styled look that clients are wanting for a festival, but it also gives a strong hold, giving style a long lasting finish.

Another simple, yet cool festival look is the ponytail, but with more glitter! It is so easy when you’re at a festival in the middle of a field to forget about your hair and not do anything with it, however this is an easy to acheive look. A strong hold hairspray to create the slick back look will be needed, using something like the TIGI Catwalk Firm Hold Hairspray which will no doubt keep your client’s style locked in all day without any greasiness or stickiness to the hair. Not only will the hairspray help to secure the look, but it will also help the glitter stay for longer. To keep the hair wrapped around the bobble securely your client will need some strong, secure grips like the Streaker Hairpins, which are available in all hair shades.

Not only are there easy updos that clients can create for the festival season, but the wavy/curly look is just as easy and effective. For this look they might potentially want Dry Shampoo, we all know what festivals can be like and using dry shampoo might be the only way to keep the hair in a good condition. A great dry shampoo that is perfect for keeping the hair clean without using water, and that refreshes and revives the hair is the UniqOne Dry Shampoo. Not only is this product great for keeping the hair clean and revitalised but it also adds volume, which is great for this kind of look. As for getting the curls, because your clients may not have access to curlers or any styling tools, plaiting the hair the night before will do the trick to get the festival boho waves that clients want. Or perhaps even using something like the Wella Eimi Ocean Spritz to create the natural beachy waves, whilst protecting the hair against dehydration and UV. Using the HD Life Style Hairspray Extreme will do the job to hold in a look throughout the day at the festival too.

Colourful hair is a massive trend at festivals nowadays, and it's even better that it doesn’t have to be permanent! Using sprays like the Renbow Crazy Color Range would be great to use for that bold vibrant colour, available in many colours to suit each individual client. These sprays do not damage the hair and are easy to use, as well as wash out. As well as using semi-permanent colours for your hair you can also suggest the Suprema Minerals Collection to your clients, as these are perfect for pastel festival colours, they can be used as permanent, semi-permanent and toners too. If you are creating an updo or require bobbles for your look, the Hot Pink, Yellow and Lilac bobbles are perfect for keeping your look secure but you also have the pops of colour to enhance your look and bring it all together.

POST-FESTIVAL AFTERCARE TREATMENT

Suggesting after care products for your client could be beneficial as their hair may be very damaged and dry after the festival, from the sun, lack of showers and products, the first thing your client is going to want when they are home from a festival is a pamper. The Amethyste Color Mask and the Amethyste Hydrate Velvet Mask will both be suitable to hydrate and moisturise the hair after a long week away, as well as strengthening the hair and adding colour vibrancy. Amethyste’s Hydrating Shampoo will also be great for your clients hair, restoring the nutritive balance of the hair fibre.
