Charm Everyone with These Pretty Bohemian Hairstyles

1. Messy & braided half-up

The free-spirited gals of the flower power era were all about the chillness of it all, so when it comes to boho hairstyles, the messier, the better. Add braids here and there and you’ve got the perfect Coachella look.

Editor’s tip: To perfect that messy look, you’d want some texture in your hair, so before you start braiding and pinning, give your tresses a good spray of TONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturising Spray. It’s our favorite product to use for messy, tousled hairstyles!

2. Fishtail side braid

This one leans toward the fancier side of the bohemian style spectrum and is perfect for fancy affairs like weddings (whether you’re a bride, a bridesmaid, or a guest). Just make sure there’s enough “disheveledness” in your look to stay true to the boho-chic charm. Just loosen your braids—unevenly—and maybe leave a few strands loose on the sides of your face.

3. Boho band

Pair your Woodstock waves with a braided head band which you will be wearing across your forehead. It even works with straight hair so it’s an easy way to bohemianize your look.

Editor’s tip: Bohemian hairstyles are characterized by flowy, textured tresses. The last thing you want, if you’re trying to rock festival-inspired ‘dos, is flat, limpy hair. Make sure you have the bounce and volume that you need by shampooing with Dove Oxygen & Nourishment Shampoo. It leaves your hair looking and feeling soft, nourished and full of natural volume.

4. Flower crown

Here’s another easy one. If you like a more feminine look than what the braided band offers, you can opt for a pretty flower crown instead. These hair accessories come in different sizes, with some featuring huge petals, and others with more delicate details. Wear it over wavy or straight hair, updo or downdo. It’s a pretty hairstyle option for dreamy occasions.

5. Messy crown hair

Don’t have boho crowns? Create your own with a crown braid! Make it extra messy you’d still fit the bill.

Editor’s tip: For complex updos, you need help from a stronger hold hairspray. Use the TRESemmé Freeze Hold Hairspray so you’re sure your crown stays on all day long.

6. Braided bangs

To create this look, do a deep side part, then lace braid your fringe (or the front section if you don’t have bangs) all the way to the ends. The braided section will frame your features beautifully and will keep your hair out of your face, so you still look neat and put-together even if you’re sporting a messy, tousled ‘do.

7. Flip in braid

While we’re all about braids, you can experiment with unique weaving styles like the flip in braid. It’s just like a pull-through braid but with smaller sections of hair being twisted and flipped. This is also a great festival hairstyle as it keeps your hair away from your face as you enjoy the moment.

8. Bun with headband

Speaking of tamed hair, what better way to get it than a sleek bun? Wrap it with a cute printed scarf as a headband for a perfect bohemian hairstyle.

9. Messy half updo

Going for the other side of the spectrum, a messy, textured half updo is also a dreamy boho look! Accessorize it with colorful and delicately ornamented jewelry to nail it like a true gypsy.

Editor’s tip: Want to know a secret? Sometimes the best way to achieve the perfect messy look is to not wash your hair. Just refresh your locks with TRESemmé Instant Refresh Dry Shampoo so it doesn’t become greasy.

10. Baby braids

If you’re looking for something subtle, adding baby braids as accents to your hair is the way to go. Curl the end of your hair for a chic finishing touch.

Editor’s tip: Even bohos must shine. Apply a few drops of TONI&GUY High Shine Serum Drops for a glossy polish!

So whether you’re music festival-bound, hitting a boho-chic themed party, or just want to channel your inner boho babe, you have these pretty bohemian hairstyles to take inspiration from!
