Here are the best festival hair trends just in time for Coachella

Coachella is the music festival that takes place annually in California, but it's not just about the music anymore, it has also become a place to flaunt your fashion, including your hair. We've gathered our 4 favourite hair trends from Coachella for 2023 and our top tips on how to achieve them!

ACCESSORISE WITH CURLS

Whether it’s a natural curl or a curl using Style Wand or Spin, accessories just work with curls! When we talk about accessories we're going way back to Y2K. Tinsel, beads, flowers, glitter and hair gems. These fun and playful accessories are sure to make your look flawless.

HOW TO ACHIEVE

To achieve this stunning look, start by using Styling Primer and Mermade Mist to hold those curls in place. Next, take small sections of hair and use 25mm Curling Tong to create glossy curls all over your head. Once your head is done, simply brush out using Wave Comb from Comb Kit. When it comes to accessories, we believe sticking to one and go to town! We recommend adding beads and tinsel underneath your hair for a pop of colour or bows and ribbons which are super trendy for 2023.

COLOUR & BOUNCE

We saw pastels make a huge wave in 2010-2013 and babe, it’s all coming back 10 years later! Pastels add a playful and whimsical touch to any festival look. From soft pinks to lavender and mint green. We recommend a huge blowout to accentuate the tones.

HOW TO ACHIEVE

For a beautiful pastel all-over colour, it's crucial to keep your hair hydrated. We recommend using Repair Mask to restore shine and bounce after coloring. To style, use Interchangeable Blow Dry Brush with the 60mm Volume Head to dry and curl simultaneously for a voluminous, textured blowout. 

BUBBLE BRAIDS

Bubble braids are set to be a popular hairstyle trend for Coachella 23’, thanks to their fun and unique appearance. Whether you opt for a sleek and polished look or a more relaxed and tousled style, bubble braids are a versatile and eye-catching option that's sure to make a statement and go with ANY look.

HOW TO ACHIEVE

Bubble braids are so easy to achieve. You want to start with super sleek straight hair, use 28mm Straightener all over then divide your hair into sections, securing each one with a lacky from Pony Kit. Then, gently pull each section apart to create the "bubble" effect. Continue this process down the length of your hair, securing each bubble with another lacky. For a finishing touch, gently tug on each bubble to create a fuller and more voluminous look. Finish with Pony Gel from Pony Kit.

MAKING WAVES

There is no denying the fact that we have an unwavering love for waves, as the luscious curls and effortless flow of this hairstyle never cease to amaze us. And when it comes to the Coachella hair trends of 2023, it's without a doubt that the pièce de résistance is none other than the ever-popular and timeless waves. Embrace the beauty and versatility of waves as you rock this iconic hairstyle at Coachella and beyond!

HOW TO ACHIEVE

Spray some Mermade Mist all over your dry hair to protect those strands. Divide hair into sections, the smaller the section, the more definition! Clamp, hold for 2-5 seconds, release and voila! You can use just one of our Pro Wavers or a combination of a few. We personally are loving small waves for 2023. Once your head is complete, brush through with our wave comb or shake out for a more tousled wave.

However you decide to style your locks this festival season, Mermade Hair has you covered for all of your on-trend hair looks.
