Your hair is a major part of your overall festival look. Along with your outfit and makeup, your hairstyle will help you portray the exact vibe you want. When it comes to festival hair, it can be a balancing act. You want something that’s cool-girl approved, but you’ll also be dealing with heat, sweat, and frizz. Luckily, there are a bunch of festival-ready hairstyles that cover all the bases. From baby braids to space buns, double Dutch braids, and more, here are 9 festival hair trends to try this summer!

You can’t go wrong with mermaid waves. They’re a timeless festival hair trend that works especially well for medium to long hair. In this tutorial, she walks you through the best way to get mermaid waves. It’s a super easy technique but will look like you put a lot of effort in. All you need is a triple barrel hair waver to get this look, and she also puts in hair extensions, which is always an option for a longer look. She uses the John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum and hairspray to ensure the waves stay intact all day!

Space buns are stylish and trendy, plus they’re a great hairstyle if you want to keep your hair out of your face and off your neck. Since festival season tends to be quite hot, they’ll keep you nice and cool so you can dance the day away. Space buns are super simple to do. Split your hair down the middle and tie it in pigtails, then wrap your hair into a bun on each side. All you need are hair elastics and bobby pins to keep any rogue pieces in place. If you have bangs, you can style them as usual and consider adding hair glitter like in the inspo photo to really embrace the festival vibe.
