Our Top 10 Easy Concert Hairstyles for Festival Season: Effortless Waves, Braids & Bold Accessories

Days are getting longer, nights are getting warmer and event season is officially among us! Elaborate festival makeup is out. If you’re serious about elevating your look this year, nailing your hairstyle is key. Here at Mermade HQ, we have collated our top 10 favourite festival and concert hairstyles (it was so hard to choose only 10!). 

This year, it's all about the effortless waves, mini braids, sleek updos and of course, can’t forget accessories! Don’t stress, these hairstyles are easy to do at home and will help you look so put together!

Here’s what we are currently loving: 

1. Mini Boho Braids 

This is one hairstyle we don’t think we’ll ever not love. Even the Queen herself Hailey Bieber has rocked the mini boho braids on multiple occasions. Think playful and carefree! Whether scattered throughout loose waves or framing your face, mini braids bring an effortless beauty, turning everyday hair into a bohemian dream. 

Side note: Our Double Waver is perfect to complete this look with some boho waves! 

 

 2. Mini Bubble Braids

Jazz up your regular braids and try some bubble braids! This super on trend hairstyle is taking over the concert/festival scene. These little “bubbles” add a touch of whimsy and texture to your hair. Whether you style them as the front pieces or mix multiple throughout your hair, mini bubble braids are a fun way to give your hair a bouncy twist. 

 

3. Hair Gems

If you’re looking for something a bit more fun, hair gems are an easy way to elevate your hairstyle and add some glam. They are super easy to use and quick to apply. Scatter them across your ponytail, weave into your braids or place them from roots to ends. 

PS: Our Hair Gems are perfect for this look! 

 

4. Classic Glam Waves 

You can never go wrong with some classic glam waves or as we like to call them Mermade waves. For obvious reasons, this is our personal favourite. Step out being THAT girl - she’s cool, effortless and chic!

Hot Tip: It would be a crime not to recommend our Mermade Pro Waver for this look. 

 

5. Sleek Bun 

Moving on to a more sleek and snatched look, the sleek bun is a fan favourite for any occasion. With your hair up and out of your face, this hairstyle is perfect for hot and sweaty concerts and will stay in all night! Enjoy the music without a strand in your face. It’s ultra slick and smooth, and gives you that effortless, chic and stylish vibe. 

Product alert: Our Wax Stick will achieve this look. To reapply at the concert don't forget to pop our Mini Wax Stick into your handbag.

 

6. Sleek bun with plaited front pieces

Spice up your sleek bun and add (you guessed it) more plaits/braids. This is the ultimate cool girl look, but yet such a simple addition. 

 

7. Half up half down 

We are seeing this hairstyle absolutely everywhere and are loving it! This really is your girl next door look. It’s the perfect mix of playful and polished and lets you show off your length while keeping things neat and out of your face. 

PS: Our Wax Stick to slick and Infrared Styler  to style is the perfect combo to achieve this look.  

 

8. Hair Clips

Think Y2K baddie! We are loving the hair clip trend, especially the silver stars taking over the internet! Adding clips is such a simple yet cute way to change up your normal look and add to your outfit. 

 

9. Headband 

Again, another accessory…again it's giving Y2K. Headbands are so back in, particularly these iconic zigzag headbands. Pair it with some bouncy curls, Mermade waves or a straight do. It’s super cute and super iconic!

Insider Info: The Infrared Thermal Brush is perfect for easy and healthier heat styling to accompany this look. 

 

10. Plaits, plaits and more plaits!  

Think not one, not two, but three or more plaits. This simple but effective hairstyle elevates your regular ponytail/plait. This girl is trendy and effortlessly chic. 

Add a pair of your coolest sunnies to complete the look.

Also: For the slick, grab our Wax Stick!

Overall, for this concert/festival season we are going to see such an elevated range of hair styles embraced, from natural textures to sleek and snatched looks. With one of these hairstyles you’ll definitely be the coolest girl at the concert! Make sure to tag us on socials @mermade.hair to show us your finished look!
