Curlsmith Rocks Coachella

There were so many trending styles this year for festival hair, with the help of glitter, hair charms, and color extensions. Before committing to a look, our stylists applied Miracle Shield to all tresses to protect against the hair's harshest aggressors, such as; 

• UV rays

• Chlorine

• Sea salt

• Thermal heat

• Color fading

• Pollution

Applying Miracle Shield to wet or dry hair provides the ultimate protection whether you dance the day away under the sun or splash in the pool. Now that we have you covered, let's dive into the various looks created.

Free Falling Plaits 

Get the look

1. Take a section of hair a few inches wide and create a plait securing it with an elastic band a few inches before the ends.
2. Randomly select sections of hair where you would like to see the plait fall throughout the head.
3. Secure hair charms down the lengths of the plaits, leaving a few inches between each.

Why worry about finding a headband when you can have a braided band using added color to make it pop? The best thing about this style is that you can still showcase your beautiful curls while keeping your hair out of your face.
