What's your favorite hairstyle for a music festival?

One of my favorite hairstyles for a music festival is the bohemian-inspired braided crown. This hairstyle is not only practical for keeping your hair off your face during long days of dancing and enjoying live music, but it also adds a whimsical and romantic touch to your festival look. Here's how to create a braided crown hairstyle:

1. **Prep Your Hair**: Start by applying a texturizing spray or mousse to add volume and grip to your hair. If your hair is straight or slippery, you may want to add some waves or curls using a curling iron or braiding technique for added texture and hold.

2. **Part Your Hair**: Create a center part or a deep side part, depending on your preference and face shape. This will help create the foundation for your braided crown.

3. **Create Two French Braids**: Begin by taking a small section of hair near your temple and dividing it into three equal sections. French braid this section of hair, incorporating small sections of hair from the top and bottom as you braid towards the back of your head. Repeat on the other side.

4. **Wrap the Braids Around Your Head**: Once both braids reach the back of your head, secure them with bobby pins or small clear elastics. Then, wrap each braid around the back of your head, crossing them over each other to create a crown-like effect.

5. **Secure and Finish**: Use bobby pins to secure the ends of the braids underneath the opposite side of the crown. Tuck any loose ends and adjust the braids as needed to create a seamless, polished look. Finish with a spritz of hairspray to hold the style in place.

6. **Accessorize (Optional)**: For an extra bohemian touch, you can accessorize your braided crown with flower crowns, hair clips, or metallic hair cuffs. This adds a whimsical and festival-ready vibe to your hairstyle.

The braided crown hairstyle is not only practical and comfortable for a day of music and festivities, but it also looks effortlessly chic and bohemian-inspired. Plus, it keeps your hair off your face while still allowing you to show off your personal style and flair.
