SALON PROFESSIONALS
Can’t get on Instagram without a little festival FOMO? Fear not! Whether Coachella, Stagecoach, Woodstock or one of the many summer music festivals are in your future, or you just want to pretend you are living the festival life, Aloxxi Artist, Robertina Martinez (@hairbyrobertina) offers festival hairstyle inspo to take your flower crown to a power crown and update your look!
1. Color, Color and More COLOR
To add fun festival colors before you hit the road, make an appointment with your stylist in advance! If your hair is going to be a project to lighten and then add fun festival colors, make sure you give your stylist enough time to achieve that perfect look! No time for an appointment? No problem! Pick up one of eight fun Aloxxi InstaBoost™ Color Conditioning Masques and get creative at home! These are also great to preserve your color vibes after you leave the salon.
2. Accessorize, Please
The beauty of festival hair is you can put almost anything in your hair and call it an accessory! Bobby pins of all colors and sizes, clips, flowers, ribbons, feathers, beads, chains, bows, bandanas, the list goes on. Have fun with it! If nothing else, mix up some festival glitter looks. Just grab loose glitter with some gel and paint on some temporary glitter accents.
3. Tis the Season for Tinsel
The best way to spice up any style, whether it’s a natural wave or an intricate up-do is to add a few subtle pieces of hair tinsel to create just a little sparkle, or load it up with bright colors for an eye-catching festival rainbow. They are perfect for all hair colors, all hair lengths, and definitely all ages!
4. Game of Thrones Inspo
Channel your inner Khaleesi and twist or braid the hair around your face back and secure. Keep that focal point of your style in the back down low instead of on top of your head.
5. Sleek and Smooth
Not feeling a crazy funky look? Opt for a straight finish this year with 70’s inspired sleek and smooth hair. All you need is a good reinforced bristle paddle brush and a couple of fool proof products and you’re ready to go! My faves? Aloxxi’s Essential 7 Restorative Hair Serum cocktailed with Styling Cream for the ends for a frizz-free finish, and Bombshell Volumizing Grip Styler sprayed at the base for fullness. Blowdry it all straight with the paddle brush and finish it off with a little spritz of Essential 7 Oil Dry Oil Shine Mist.
So go rock that festival goddess you are and share your festival hairstyles with #aloxxihair.
