Busy? Save this pin for later.
1. Braided Space Buns with Neon Streaks
Channel intergalactic vibes with double space buns and a few face-framing braids.
Add temporary neon streaks (think electric pink or lime green) to your platinum or honey blonde for a pop of rave-ready color.
Secure with glittery bobby pins, and spritz with texturizing spray for that “just danced for hours” volume.
2. Messy Fishtail Crown Braid
A fishtail crown braid keeps hair off your face while showing off your blonde highlights.
Pull strands loose for a lived-in, boho look, and weave in tiny flowers or metallic thread.
Bonus: It pairs perfectly with oversized sunglasses and a flower crown.
3. Half-Up Bubble Ponytail
Take the half-up ponytail to the next level by sectioning it into “bubbles” with clear elastic bands.
Tease each section slightly for retro volume, and wrap a colorful scrunchie around the base.
Blonde tip: Use a purple shampoo before styling to keep brassy tones at bay.
4. Glitter Roots & Beachy Waves
Glitter roots are the festival flex for blondes. Apply hair glitter or temporary spray along your part, then tousle your hair into loose, beachy waves.
The contrast between sparkle and sunkissed texture screams “main character energy.”
5. Dutch Braids with Hair Jewelry
Elevate classic Dutch braids by clipping in festival hair chains or tiny star-shaped charms.
Let the ends of your braids flow into loose curls, or wrap them into buns.
Platinum blondes, go for silver accessories; golden blondes, try gold or rose gold.
6. Slicked-Back High Ponytail
A sleek high ponytail with a tight, gelled back section gives major futuristic vibes.
Add a neon hair wrap or a single bold extension streak (blue or purple works magic on blonde bases). Pro tip: Edge your hairline with glitter gel for extra drama.
7. Double Buns with Face Framing Tendrils
Double buns are playful and practical. Leave a few face-framing pieces loose and curl them with a wand for softness.
For a festival twist, dye those tendrils with pastel pink or lavender temporary color.
8. Feathered Layers with Hair Feather Extensions
Feathered layers + hair feathers = instant bohemian goddess.
Clip in feather extensions in turquoise or peacock hues that pop against blonde hair.
Finish with a light mousse to keep your layers airy and wind-resistant.
9. Retro Curls with Scrunchie Accent
Big, bouncy retro curls give major vintage festival energy.
Set your blonde waves with velcro rollers, then tie a velvet scrunchie at the nape.
Add a bandana headband for a ‘70s rockstar finish.
10. Halo Braid with Fresh Flowers
Twist a halo braid around your head and tuck in fresh flowers like baby’s breath or daisies.
The braid keeps hair secure, while the blooms lean into that ethereal Coachella vibe. Spritz with dry shampoo first for extra grip.
11. Half-Up Top Knot with Rhinestone Clips
Pull the top section of your hair into a messy top knot, then secure the rest in loose waves.
Embellish the knot with rhinestone hair clips or pearl pins.
Blondes with balayage will love how the knots showcase their dimension.
12. Wavy Lob with Temporary Hair Tattoos
Got a lob? Enhance your natural waves with salt spray, then apply temporary hair tattoos (think moons, stars, or tribal patterns) along your part or behind your ear.
The contrast between edgy art and soft blonde waves is chef’s kiss.
13. Pigtails with Rainbow Ribbons
High pigtails aren’t just for kids—they’re a festival staple.
Wrap rainbow ribbons around the base of each ponytail and let them trail down your lengths.
For extra flair, curl the ends or dip-dye them in temporary color.
14. Side-Swept Curls with Headscarf
Part your hair deeply to one side, curl all sections away from your face, and tie a silk headscarf around your head.
Let a few blonde tendrils escape for effortless glam. Perfect for desert festivals or poolside DJ sets.
15. Double Dutch Braids with Beads
Double Dutch braids are sturdy enough to survive a mosh pit.
Add wooden or metallic beads to the ends for a tribal touch.
Blondes with darker roots? Let them peek through for grungy contrast.
16. Voluminous Afro with Gold Cuffs
Natural blondes with curly or coily hair, embrace the afro!
Define curls with a hydrating gel, then accessorize with gold hair cuffs on a few twists.
The bigger the hair, the closer to the festival gods.
17. Low Messy Bun with Hair Vines
Pull your hair into a low, messy bun and wrap a delicate hair vine through it.
Opt for ivy or floral designs—they’ll shimmer in the sunlight and look magical under string lights.
18. Faux Hawk with Temporary Color Spray
Go bold with a faux hawk using braids or pinned-up sections.
Spray the raised strip with temporary color like neon yellow or silver.
Blonde underlights? Let them peek through for an edgy, high-contrast look.
Festival Hair Hacks for Blondes

- Temporary = trendy: Experiment with chalks, sprays, or clip-ins—no commitment!
- Accessorize wisely: Swap heavy metal for lightweight bling to avoid headaches.
