Rise and shine everyone! It is officially festival season! This past weekend was the first part of Coachella 2017 and the FOMO was so real for me. There were so many musical artists that performed over weekend one of Coachella. The hair, makeup and outfits were so insanely beautiful and bohemian. I was living for every second of it vicariously through social media because I was at Couchella (which is my name for Coachella weekend but I’m sitting on my couch watching an entire season of New Girl on Netflix in my pajamas). While I won’t be attending any music festivals this spring and summer, I was still inspired by all of the music festival aesthetic. If you are just feeling the bohemian vibes or are physically attending a music festival this year, I created a really quick and easy braided hairstyle for you to wear. Step One: Curls If you have naturally curly or wavy hair you can opt to skip curling your hair for this look. Since my hair is naturally very pin straight I curled my hair to give it some messy texture. I used a ½ inch curling iron and just wrapped my hair around the barrel. Step Two: Braid Grab a comb and create a diagonal part at the roots of your hair. On the side of your head that has the least amount of hair, grab a small section at the top of your head and split it into three sections. Create a dutch braid by braiding under and incorporating hair with every section. Once you reach the top of your ears, you can stop incorporating hair and dutch braid normally and secure with an elastic when you reach the desired length of your braid. Step Three: “Pancake” the Braid “Pancaking” a braid is just a term for pulling the braid apart to give it some volume and texture. I start from the bottom and pull very gently and work my way up to the top of the braid. Lastly, if the braid is hanging in an awkward way just grab some bobby pins and pin it to the the same side of your head. I think this braid is so pretty, regardless of whether you are attending a music festival or if you just want to spice up your everyday hairstyle. If you are reading this and went to Coachella 2017 and saw some of the amazing performers like Banks, Bastille and Tove Lo, I will admit that I am very jealous of you. Have a great rest of your week! Ciao!
