2026 Festival Hairstyles That Will Last All Day Long

This breezy chain braid mixes bohemian cool with high-shine metallic accents. To create this look for your upcoming festival, begin with a dime-size amount of Redken Redken Pliable Paste. Rub in hands and apply through damp or dry hair. This styling paste offers a texturizing medium hold with lightweight control and flexible reworkable fibers to create twists and shapes.

Next, section off two 1-inch pieces of hair about two inches back from your hairline on either side. Take one of the sections and tie a metallic thread to the base using a hair elastic.

Using the metallic string as one of your strands, begin to create a traditional three-strand braid. Take the section farthest to the right and cross it over the middle section. Then, take the section farthest to the left and cross it over the middle. Continue repeating these steps until you reach the end of your hair.

If you prefer softer, more romantic styles, you'll love this beautiful dutch braid for festival season!

Begin by blow drying hair with an extra large round brush. Spray hair with Thermal Spray High Hold for heat protection and curl hair using a 1 ¼ inch curling iron. When you’re finished curling, spray with Dry Texture Spray for airy texture.

Next, create a part down center back and begin braiding a section on each side using a dutch braiding technique. Secure your braids with elastic. Finish by pinching and pulling pieces of the braids for added fullness..

And of course, festival season wouldn't be complete without space buns! For this look, begin by creating a middle part, taking a 2-inch section of hair on the right side of your part. Take the section and begin crafting a French braid. Secure with an elastic once the braid reaches the crown of your head.

Repeat the same steps on the left side of your head, creating a French braid and securing the braid at the crown of your head with a small elastic.

Once your braids are secure, pinch and pull pieces of each braid to create a textured, voluminous effect.

Created by Redken Stylist Spencer Henry, these gorgeous waved braids featured on blogger Mykie are a great style option if you're looking for a bohemian chic look to flaunt on festival weekend. To get this look, spray Thermal Spray Low Hold to prep and protect the hair from heat. Next, add soft waves with a 1-inch curling iron.

Finish the look with Quick Blowout to add texture before creating a series of braids on one side, adding glitter to accent the look.

And of course, lock in your style with Max Hold Hairspray.
