10 Hairstyles That'll Hold Up Through a Festival
You may have already figured out what you're wearing to Coachella, but do you know how you're going to tackle your hair situation? Experienced festival-goers know how difficult it can be to manage your locks (especially if they're long) in a hot and humid setting. Fly-aways, frizz and oily scalps thrive under these conditions, but it doesn't mean you have to resort to just schlepping it up in a tired ponytail or lopsided bun. Here are 10 stylish ways to help your hair survive a festival.

Crown Braid

High Bun
Sweeping your strands up into a high bun will help keep your upper body ventilated. Don’t forget to wrap a colorful headscarf or flower crown around it.

Half-Up Braided Crown
If you feel like wearing your hair down, consider a half-up braided crown. It’ll keep most of your hair out of your face, while still looking totally boho-chic.

Low Messy Bun
If you’re not a fan of the top knot, keep it low with a tight, but messy bun.

Messy Fishtail Braid
A fishtail braid doesn’t have to be tight and tidy. Make it more festival-appropriate by letting the ends fly free in a messy ponytail.
