1. Romantic Boho Braids: A Festival Classic

Boho braids are the holy grail of festival hair. They’re chic, practical, and perfect for any vibe—whether you’re going for ethereal or edgy. These braids not only keep your hair off your face while you dance but also look better as the day goes on, embracing that tousled, lived-in look.

Watch our tutorial below on how to create this look!

2. Bubble Braids but make it Edgy and Vibrant: 

Looking for a hairstyle that screams fun and makes a statement? Bubble braids are where it's at! This vibrant look, complete with multi-coloured Scunci elastics, isn’t just practical—it’s pure festival magic. Whether you’re hitting the dance floor or lounging at a food truck, these braids stay in place and double as wearable accessories. Bonus points? They’ll have you standing out in every crowd.

How to Rock It:

• Part your hair down the middle and create two high pigtails for a playful, symmetrical style.
• Secure each pigtail with a colourful Scunci elastic near the base.
• Add more elastics down the length of each pigtail at even intervals—mix and match bright colours for a bold effect.
• Gently tug the hair between each elastic to create the shape.
• For extra festival flair, add some glitter spray to the bubbles or face gems near your temples to complement the look.

These bubble braids are all about fun and functionality—perfect for outdoor festivals where style and comfort are key. With Scunci’s multi-coloured elastics keeping everything in place, you’ll be ready to dance the day (and night) away.

3. Upside Down Braided Space Buns: Out of This World Fun

Take your space buns to the next level—literally! Upside down braided space buns are the perfect mix of edgy and playful, giving your festival look a unique twist. This style not only stays put through all the dancing, but it’s also a conversation starter that’ll have people wondering, “How did you do that?”

How to Rock It:

• Flip your head upside down and create two French or Dutch braids starting from the nape of your neck, working your way up toward the crown.
• Once you reach the top of your head, secure each braid with Scunci’s strong hair elastics and form two high ponytails then plait the rest of your hair.
• Twist each ponytail into a bun and secure with additional Scunci elastics for a tight hold.
• Wrap a glittery elastic or ribbon around each bun to give them a pop of sparkle.
• Want to take the festival flair up a notch? Add some cute mini jaw clips like we did below.

These buns are functional and fabulous—keeping you cool while you rock out all day long.

4. Glitter Hair: Shine Bright Like a Festival Star

If there’s one time you can unapologetically douse yourself in glitter, it’s festival season. Glitter roots are an easy way to cover day-two (or three) hair while adding a touch of glam to your look.

How to Rock It:

• Part your hair down the middle and create two high buns at the top of your head.
• Incorporate colourful strands—use temporary hair chalks or extensions for that vibrant pop peeking through the buns.
• Apply hair gel along your parting and sprinkle it with star-shaped glitter or any sparkly accents you love.
• Secure the buns with Scunci's strong elastics or no-slip jaw clips to keep everything in place.
• Want extra impact? Add a little glitter spray over the buns to amplify the sparkle.

This style lets you move, dance, and party without worrying about your hair shifting or glitter falling—plus, the colorful highlights make every angle picture-perfect. It's the ultimate playful look that guarantees you’ll shine from sunrise to sunset.

5. Banana Clips: Nostalgia with a Modern Twist

Banana clips are making a major comeback, and they’re the unsung heroes of effortless hairstyles. Whether your festival day calls for a laid-back half-up look or a sleek ponytail, Scunci’s banana clips keep things stylish and practical. Plus, they’re perfect for adding a touch of ’90s nostalgia.

How to Rock It:

• Sweep your hair back and secure it with a Scunci banana clip for an instant facelift effect (who needs filters?).
• Leave a few face-framing strands loose for a soft, romantic look.
• Banana clips work great with natural curls, too—just fluff and go!

6. Jaw Clips with No-Slip Grip: Because Who Has Time for Re-dos?

There’s no faster way to kill the festival vibe than having your hair fall apart mid-set. That’s where Scunci’s no-slip jaw clips come in—they're the ultimate "set it and forget it" accessory.

How to Rock It:

• Twist your hair half up or fully up and secure it with a no-slip jaw clip for a look that’s both effortless and chic.
• For an all-day look, spritz your hair with some texture spray before clipping—it’ll give your hair more grip and volume.

7. Headbands: The Secret Weapon for Every Festival Look

When your hair just isn’t cooperating, or you need to tame flyaways from a windy festival field, a headband is your best friend. Scunci’s headbands come in all styles—from sporty to sparkly—so there’s one for every festival aesthetic.

How to Rock It:

• Go for a wide, boho-inspired headband to keep your hair out of your face during daytime sets.
• Swap in a glitter or metallic headband for the evening to elevate your look.
• Use it to disguise second-day hair or to keep glitter roots intact—multitasking at its finest!

Festival Survival Tips for Your Hair

• Pack Smart: Slip a few Scunci elastics, jaw clips, and a banana clip in your bag for quick touch-ups. They take up minimal space and save the day when your hairstyle needs a little TLC.
• Hair Spray & Texture Powder: A travel-sized bottle of hairspray or texture powder is a lifesaver. These keep your hair looking fresh even after hours of dancing.
• Hydrate and Protect: Outdoor festivals can be tough on your hair. Spritz a leave-in conditioner with UV protection before heading out to keep your locks soft and healthy.
• Embrace the Mess: Remember, festival hair is meant to be carefree and fun. If a few strands fall out of place, roll with it—it only adds to the charm.
