Hippies are known for their love of nature and free-spirited spiritual growth. Typically they wear their hair long with protective locks rolled into it for added protection. This braided halo style creates a classic feminine look for summer parties. Make it more vibrant by adding beads to the braids!
Box Braids
Both celebrities and regular folks have worn box braids for decades. Easy to maintain and to last six weeks when properly cared for, box braids protect natural oils, dirt, and dead skin cells accumulating on your scalp while stimulating hair growth. While your pet stays with you, ensure they receive a sulfate-free shampoo and moisturizing deep conditioning treatment to reduce tangling. Furthermore, use a wide-tooth comb to reduce additional tangles when combing through their locks. Add beads to your braids for an eye-catching boho vibe and honor your heritage and ancestors while representing your tribe or social status. This can also be a beautiful way to show appreciation for your origins! Color your braids for an instant pop of color! With so many hues from subdued burgundy to vibrant cherry red available, there will surely be one perfect hue that complements your style.
Space Buns
Space buns can vary significantly in complexity depending on your desired style. With straight hair, space buns can easily be achieved by parting it zig-zag style before packing the buns with puffy hairbands – an effective way to stand out at music festivals and other special events. Add fishnets or braids to your hairstyle to give it an updated, bohemian vibe, as this upgrade gives it more dimension. Bow-shaped buns with braids make an adorable hippie-style choice! Those with bangs can wear them tucked into buns to frame their face. Janelle Monae has already made this trend popular, while you could try it by adding face-framing tendrils into your buns for an even more face-framing effect.
