6 Festival Hairstyles - Kayleymelissa

Hey everyone Kayley your friendly neighborhood, hair stylist here and today we're doing some festival. Hairstyles., You guys know. This is basically my Christmas. I love festival hairstyles, so I'm very excited to do these, for you guys today.. I personally am not gon na be attending any music festivals this year, but I will be wearing these hairstyles because I just love the inspo. I love any chance to go a little extra with my hair. We all know this, and so whether you're going to a music festival or not, I wanted to give you guys some cool extra moments for your hair as well.. So, let's get into it. We're gon na start off with this tied up ponytail, I'm in love with it spoiler alert and to point out the obvious. I am wearing extensions for this one because I want it to be like all the way there, but it would also be pretty without them.. So first things first you're going to take a large section of hair from each side of your head, leaving just a little bit in the middle and put that into a ponytail.. Once you have that hair in a ponytail, you're gon na go ahead and tie some cord leather cord chain, whatever you want around it and then we're gon na start pulling back the front. You're gon na sweep your hair from one side over the top and pin It in place as many times as you need and then take the other side and sweep it across and pin it in place.. I'M also doing this kind of half circle motion as I'm going in and I'm grabbing hair as I go through the half circle, and then I pin it down and into the ponytail, and this feels so secure. Now that everything is pulled back. I want you to locate your cord again and you're, going to do a little half knot across the front of your ponytail. Once you've done that crisscross, the cords behind your ponytail bring them back to the front and do a full knot, so half knot and then Knot it again. And then just pull apart the hair between the two little half knots a little bit and you are literally done.. That'S the hairstyle. I feel like it's one of the easiest festival, hairstyles I've ever done because normally they're super elaborate, which you know. I love, but I also love something that can come together, super easily., So heart eyes on this hairstyle. Up. Next we have some warrior: braid inspiration., To start this hairstyle off you're, going to section a mohawk section across your head. That'S about two to three inches wide and secure the rest of the hair out of the way.. Then you're going to Dutch braid that mohawk section from the hairline to where a low ponytail would sit in the back of your head and, as you go, make sure that you're taking as small sections as possible, especially at the beginning, that's gon na get you the Best results. ( upbeat music ). Now on this side, we're going to separate just a tiny, tiny sliver right next to the mohawk we already did and you're going to either lace or Dutch braid that. When it's such a small section. Sometimes I just lace braid, because it's a little bit easier than trying to pick up the literal five hairs on each side of the section.. Now we do the same thing on the other side, so you're gon na section off your little sliver of hair, clip the extra hair out of the way and Dutch braid until you hit that low ponytail point on the back of your head., Then just braid a Couple edges normally and secure it with a hair clip. And now I'm going to pull all the hair together into a low ponytail, leaving it looped on the last rotation. So it's a little bit of a chignon.. Now I'm gon na take that braid in the center and I'm going to fluff up the back. I'M not gon na do the top as much'cause. I don't want it to be like a pouf situation, but I would like some more volume throughout the braid. And to finish off. I'M gon na add some cord to the little braids on either side. Cutting a piece of cord, that's about three to four times longer than the braid, putting it through a very dull, embroidery needle and then I am looping it through the hair, I'm leaving about an Inch of a tail up at the front and I'm gon na, pin that when we're done. Once you get to the end of the braid, you can just kind of pull the needle right off and actually leave the tail of the cord. There we're gon na utilize it., Then up at the front, you're gon na take that little gold tail and you're gon na tuck it down next to your braid and pin that in place., Then repeat on the other side.. So this whole wraparound part would be a whole lot easier if you were to get your hair bestie in on it like. Maybe you guys could like do each other's hair make it a whole thing. Just a thought. Share this video with them get them on board. You will thank me.. Finally, I'm going to take the ends of the gold cord from the braids and another piece of gold cord and wrap it around the elastic until you can't see it anymore and then tie off the ends.. This hairstyle somehow makes me feel very Daenerys Targaryen, even though she never wore anything like this. It'S just very warrior-y, but also I like the little gold shine in it, and I like that, it's out of your face. So it's very practical, as well as cute and fierce., And for our next hairstyle we're gon na do some bedazzled fun buns.! This hairstyle is actually in this video today, because a bunch of you guys requested it on Instagram after I posted a picture of my sister wearing it, and everyone wanted to know how to do it.. Also hello, evil, twin Kayley. Here my thought was that Coachella is three days long, so you get three different looks so I wanted to do three different looks for this video., Pretty, obviously we're gon na start off with a center part, then, on one side, you're gon na start with a small Section of hair and begin braiding back to where you want your fun bun to sit.. As I'm doing this, I am leaving out so much hair around my face because that's how I like to frame my face, if you prefer to have everything pulled straight back, you're! Welcome to do that. Once you hit that place. Where you want your bun to sit, you can braid a couple more inches, normally and secure it with a bobby pin.. Then I'm grabbing just a touch more hair and securing that and the braid into a hair elastic and you can take the bobby pin out. And now we repeat the same thing on the other side. And now for the fun buns. If you have a way that you like to make these girl go for it, I'm just gon na show you how I do it.. So what I do is I backcomb the hair to get it nice and fluffy, and then I loop it over once and pin that in place., Then I'll bring the hair around the base once pin that in place and then deal with any ends that I have Going on. So really, instead of like twisting and wrapping like you typically do. I do a lot of molding to get like the perfect fun bun. And then you're gon na attempt to do the same thing on the other side. Making fun buns matches the bane of my existence, but I always try to remember to just do the mirror image Of what I did before., I flipped it to the right last time, I'm flipping it to the left this time and I'm wrapping my hair counterclockwise, whereas it was clockwise on this side. If that makes any sense, if you want to care that much otherwise, you know sisters, not twins. Who cares Well hello, I zoomed you in really close for the final step in this hairstyle, which is to add rhinestones to the part. This is obviously optional, but why would you skip it So? Last year I used hair gel to do this this year. I gave eyelash glue another chance and I realized it is the superior option., So just get a little bit of eyelash glue on my hand and then grab your rhinestones of choice and some tweezers dip the rhinestone into the glue and then onto your scalp.. You will most likely find it easiest to kind of really accentuate your part and pull the hair apart, as you place the rhinestones down that way, they have more scalp to stick to and they don't end up sticking to like one or two random hairs and kind Of floating., And that is the hairstyle. ( laughs ). This is such an easy to do festival, style and you can style it. However, you want to. You, could do evil twin Kayley. If you want - or you could take it super bright and happy and have different colored rhinestones., You could even do like rainbow rhinestones, but I think, even without the rhinestones, this is a great just summer, hairstyle altogether. And now for another fully out of your face. Braided hairstyle this one was inspired by hairbyruslan and blankitinerary. Both their Instagram pages are great for hair inspo and I fell so hard in love with this hairstyle. I had to do it. To get started on this hairstyle we're actually gon na section out the part. That'S gon na be braided in the back first., So I'm going from where I want my ponytail to sit to the side of my neck on one side and then repeating on the other side. And I'm gon na. Take all that hair that I sectioned off and put it securely into a clip making sure that it's held really well together. And then to make my life easier and secure the rest of the hair. I'M going to go ahead and put it up in that high ponytail. That way, the hair is fully out of the way it's not going to sneak into your braid at all, and you already have that step done. And then once the ponytail is in you can let down the back section that we're going to be braiding. And for That braid you're going to flip your head fully upside down and start with a tiny piece right at the nape of your neck and begin Dutch braiding bringing in as tiny of pieces as you can. As you get started. After your first couple inches, you can bring in a couple more hairs at a time. But if you want that really great crisp, beginning of a braid, you have to feel like you're braiding, like 10 hairs at a time., Once you've braided, that entire section braid a couple of inches, normally secure it with a bobby pin and stand back up.. And now you have a ponytail and a braid. Secure all that with another hair elastic to make sure everything is super. Secure. And you're gon na wrap the hair into a bun, any kind of bun. You want I'm going to make my like egg bun. It'S a little taller, but I love how it looks also I'm only 5'3'' - and I think I'm always just trying to get as many inches as I can.. So I'm gon na hold the hair up and then wrap the hair around it kind of like going down the hair that I'm holding up and then pin that in place.. At this point you could leave this hairstyle, as is I already love how it looks. I feel like if you're also a dancer or an athlete. This could be a great thing to throw into your hair routine, but I'm gon na take it just a little farther, because this is festival.. So I have some cord. I have just been loving cord for the past few years for festivals, don't at me. And I'm gon na take about three times the length of the braid in cord and snip that off. And now I'm going to see. If I can get this into the needle.. Come on, you can do it. ( chuckles ), Putting this through a blunt embroidery needle and then I'm lacing it through one side of the braid.. Now, you're just going to tuck the tails and pin them in place on top I'm tucking it under the bun and pinning it and on the bottom, I'm cutting off the extra cord and then tucking it under the braid and pinning it there. And that's it. For this hairstyle, I think this one is really great, especially if you really want all your hair fully up and out of the way., And even though I styled it a little darker today, you could absolutely wear this with a flowy, maxi, dress and love it just As much as I'm loving it right, now. Coachella day, three Kayley is here and she is ready to turn up. Who's ready for another updo. First things: first, I'm going to throw my hair into a super high ponytail.. Now we're gon na add some accessories.. This is a little string of rainbow rhinestones with bobby pins on either side, so you could pin it in as like a headband or around the back. You could wrap it around the ponytail. I'm gon na do my own thing.. So I'm going to be pinning one of these into each side of my ponytail. However, the part that's hanging down is gon na, have a bobby pin attached to it, so I'm gon na cut off the little bobby pin with a ring on it and just leave this ring, because I can put a bobby pin through that again and that way I'Ll still have bobby pins on each side. I just don't want the bobby pin for this one. And now we have just the end hanging free and I can go ahead and pin this into my ponytail.. Let'S pin one on the other side of my ponytail, I'm just pinning down into the ponytail nothing special here and now the third and final one. On this one, I'm cutting off both of the bobby pins that come on it remember we're leaving the ring. So I can put bobby pins back on it if I want to., But right now I don't want any and then I'm going to take the end of this and put it right on my forehead and straight back across my ponytail. First thing: I'm gon na do Is bobby, pin it into the ponytail and then to help this stay in place, I'm going to use hair pins. Now these can go really easily around the base of the little wire between the rhinestones and pin up and into the hair, to make sure everything stays Really super well. See it's not going anywhere.. Oh my gosh, I'm so sparkly. I love it.. Now, I'm just gon na take a little piece of hair and wrap it around the elastic and the hairstyle will be complete. And that's the whole hairstyle. It'S actually very easy, but it looks super cool. I love rainbow rhinestones right now. I think it's really pretty, and this look is one I would absolutely wear for a festival.. So how about we finish off with one more half up? Half down hairstyle. This hairstyle begins with the center part, which actually goes all the way down the back of your head and you're gon na secure the half that you're not gon na work on first out of the way.. Now, for the side, you are working on we're gon na start with a small section of hair and Dutch braid it back as if you are going to Dutch braid, this entire section of hair, but you're gon na stop just above your ear. So it's like a half up half down pigtail moment once you're all done. Secure it with an elastic and if you want you can pull it apart. Just a teensy bit, I'm not gon na fully like fluff this braid, because I want it to look cool Coachella. Modern all those things. And then you repeat, the same thing on the other side. Now for the elastics. You can do whatever you want. You could leave them just plain elastics. You could be as fancy as you want pick your own inspiration and go for it.. I'M going to use a little tiny hair, beater/baby topsy tail, stick it up and through the elastic wrap my hair around the elastic and pull it through., And that's it. And there's that hairstyle.. I love that it's kind of'90s and a little bit sporty spice.. I feel like I might actually rock this for day to day when I'm wearing athleisure, whatever you're feeling for yourself give it a try. And that's it for my festival, hair in 2019. I hope that you guys enjoyed it.. I had so much fun with this one.
