After the excitement of Coachella, everyone seems to have caught the festival buzz. The fact that the UK has been basking in glorious sunshine is certainly having an effect on everyone’s mood. We’re looking at some perfect products for festival haircare this week, so here’s hoping the great weather lasts long enough to try them out without us getting rained on!
A key part of festival hair style is Textured waves. Those debuted at Roberto Cavalli’s AW15 collection are iconic for any festival goers wanting to channel boho chic to perfection. This classic look is simple but effective and will last the duration of the festival, softening over a couple of days. Achieve this look through Mark Hill’s simple steps below.
Mark advises: after shampooing your hair, waft off until completely dry. Once dry, take an extra large section of hair, spray with my Work it Girl Shine, Protect and Control Spray £5.49 and wrap spirally around my Rock Chick Wave Wand £59.99. Hold for a few seconds and then release. Do this through the rest of your hair.
When all of your hair is waved, it’s time to add the texture. Spray a section of hair with my Fabulous Finish Hairspray £1.99 and rub gently between your palms to separate and loosen the waves and add that all important texture. To revamp the waves during the festival, spray some of my Beach Babe Wave Spray £5.99 through your hair and then twist sections around your fingers. Keep twiddling until the spray dries. Mark Hill Hair Cosmetics are available exclusively in stores and at boots.co.uk
Beauty Works Ten in One Spray will fast become your go-to hair saviour in just one spritz. It is the trio of super oils – Argan, Linen Seeds and Macadamia that gives hair the ultimate in nourishment and conditioning. Whilst Keratin Amino Acids and Wheat Proteins help to repair dry, damaged hair and prevent those pesky split ends. With added heat protection, a lightweight formula and a beautiful scent, the Beauty Works Ten in One Spray is perfect to use on hair extensions before styling to keep them looking at their best. Simply use on wet hair before styling to detangle, or apply a little to dry hair as a styling crème. After use, hair is left frizz-free, full of shine and the natural body of your locks is beautifully enhanced. This is great for creating that ‘beach babe’ wavy hair look at festivals this summer.
