Need quick and cute festival hair ideas? From drawstring ponytails to goddess braids, these easy concert hairstyles will help you turn heads without damaging your natural hair.

Whether you’re vibing out at Afropunk, twirling through Coachella, or dancing under the stars at a local block party, you deserve a style that’s fun, free, and photo-ready.

With blūm natural hair extensions, you can create festival ready hairstyles that are voluminous, protective, and full of personality—while ensuring your natural hair stays protected and cared for through heat, dust, and dancing.

Why blūm Hair Is Perfect for your Festival Hair Ideas 

• Blend Seamlessly: Choose from natural textures that match your curls, coils, or silk press—no awkward blending, just a flawless finish.
• Stay Styled Longer: blūm’s high-quality virgin human hair holds styles, resists tangling, and stays soft long after the last encore.
• Style in Minutes: Opt for quick-change favorites like drawstring ponytails and headband wigs for fuss-free festival styling.
• Protect Your Natural Hair: Each product is designed with versatility and protection in mind—so you never have to choose between beauty and care.

Now we know why blūm hair is a great choice, here are four easy festival hairstyles you can do to step out in style! 

1. High Ponytail – Sleek, Snatched & Effortless

For those moments when you need to serve glam with zero fuss, the blūm drawstring ponytail is your go-to.

It gives the illusion of a full, snatched pony without the heat styling or install time.

How to Achieve It:

• Slick your natural hair into a high bun or ponytail.
• Attach the blūm drawstring ponytail securely over your bun, then tighten the drawstring for a secure fit.
• Tuck the drawstring under the ponytail, and you’re ready to go!
• Add hair jewels or braid a small section of the ponytail for a festival twist.

2. Half-Up, Half-Down – The Perfect Balance

Equal parts flirty and functional, the half-up, half-down look is a festival favorite—and it’s even better with a little extra volume.

blūm clip-ins make it easy to achieve that effortless blend of sleek up top and full curls below.

How to Achieve It:

• Part your hair from ear to ear and separate the two sections.
• Work from the bottom up, adding your clip-ins until you reach the top of your section or desired fullness.
• Style the top half into a bun, braid, or ponytail—or cornrow for extra flair.
• Define curls with a light mousse or curl spray for volume and hold.
• Add clips or hair cuffs for a playful finish.

3. Goddess Braids – Romantic, Textured & Protective

Goddess braids combine the strength of protective styling with the soft, bohemian beauty of curly ends.

With curly pieces added to each braid, this look is perfect for festivals where you want to stand out and protect your hair at the same time.

How to Achieve It:

• Install your goddess braids, incorporating your blūm Boundless Bundles as you braid.
• Accessorize with beads, thread, or gold cuffs to elevate the look.
