20 Music Festival-Worthy Hairstyles to Inspire You For Coachella and Beyond

---

Flower Power

For the ultimate in casual-chic, scrunch your hair with your fingers when blow-drying, focusing the dryer's nozzle's flow away from your face. Finish by affixing a floral hair accessory, like Free People tatty mix flower slide ($12), off to the side.

Bobbing About

Have a cute bob? Create a tousled effect with a sea salt spray, and top it all off with a bejeweled headband, such as this giant gem headband ($28) from Tasha.

Bevy of Barrettes

A simple, straight style looks even more interesting with a trio of barrettes — like these bobby pins (set of six for $8) from Urban Outfitters — stacked in formation.

Pretty Plait

Side braids are a music festival staple. Make yours stand out from the crowd with a hipster-cool accessory, such as Free People's lasso ponytail holder ($28).

Bowed Over

Or, you can try something that skews more cutesy, like with Sonia by Sonia Rykiel's rose bow barrette ($122), which has the perfect amount of kitschy charm.

half braid/Half Ponytail

In lieu of a regular old ponytail, give yours added pizzazz by braiding just the area above the elastic. Tie it off with Urban Outfitters's floral bow scrunchie ($10), and you have yourself a quick, easy, eye-catching look.

Hey Shorty

Short-haired styles look even cooler when paired with a boldly colored headband, like this bright pink wrap from Free People ($8).

Fit to Be Tied

What's not to love about this entire ensemble? A cool, crisp t-shirt, especially when paired with a sleeveless jean jacket, is the epitome of with-it style. Add a patterned hair tie, like this
printed wrap from Free People ($18), and you've just turned the dial up to 11.

Piece It Together

Take a cue from the Woodstock diaries and don this star suede headpiece ($88) with a flowy maxi dress

Nothing Lame About Lamé

Channel your inner flash dancer (and show off your choppy fringe) with a bright, light-reflective shiny lamé headband ($7).

Laces Out

Play up your blunt bangs with something equally edgy atop your noggin. Land by Land's Ralissa corset headband is a splurge at $325, but why not get all arts-and-crafty with some suede straps, metal eyelets, and laced-through satin ribbon? 

Chain of Command

You'll command plenty of attention with Free People's floral and chain hair clip ($28) woven throughout a plait. You can even try substituting a necklace from your jewelry box for no-fuss fix

Fun Bun

The so-called fun bun trend shows no sign of stopping. Make the look all the more easy to style with Asos Collection's volumizing small hair donut ($9).

Bright on Bright

A vibrant hair accessory (such as American Apparel's medium leather headband in yellow ($12)) looks even more amazing when coupled with a bold red lipstick

Victory Is Yours

Wearing a victory roll to a music festival might not be the first thought that pops into your mind, but it certainly feels even more doable when paired with this Johnny Loves Rosie Liberty Ditsy headband ($32).

The Big Clipper

Yes, you should go there with this '80s-inspired shell claw clip ($4).

Rainbow Connection

A regular ponytail gets a colorful, Punky Brewster-style nod with Asos Collection's rainbow bunting ear and hair cuff ($18).
 

Criss-Cross

To get this crossover style, pull the sides of the hair back and create just the first few inches of a fishtail braid. Secure with an oversized barrette, such as Ficcare's Maximas Large hair clip ($40), and the braid will casually loosen and fall into place

Mix and Match

Take a hint from this short-haired model and mix and match your prints. A polka-dotted top, for instance, feels even more fresh when accentuated with ModCloth's daisy printed hair clip ($13).
