A little fringe goes a long way for a festival (or any occasion according to our editors this season). Whether you’re rocking baby bangs like Azealia Banks’s or fluffy like Kimbra’s, the goal is to keep them in place all day long. Start with a lightweight smoothing cream that will coat your cuticle and shield it from any humidity (or sweat) that dares to mess with your strands. The key is also to up the shine, so go for a spritz of glitz with a gloss spray.

Twists, dreads, and braids are updated with pumped-up volume, hang-low length, and elaborate patterns this season. Lock your styles in with a holding cream or wax and top it off with a shine mist.

Do unicorns exist? With the rainbow of hair colors seen during festival season, we’re convinced they do! Try a temporary pastel hue or a punchy permanent shade if you wish and you’ll fit right in—or stand out if you go bold enough.

The normcore fashion trend is often juxtaposed with "I woke up like this" hair—especially during festival season. If you’re a fine-haired friend, create your own version of beachy waves with spritzes of salt spray and dry shampoo that duals as a texturizer and refresher. For the natural, coarse-haired cool-girls, fluff your ’fro out as big as it can get like Kilo Kish.
