CurlFest 2017: 7 Fab festival hair trends to try
1. Scarf updo
Looking for an effortless hairstyle that’ll keep your kinky locks off your face? Then try working this 2-in-1 trend by fashioning your mane into a pineapple updo and simply tying a scarf around it!

Editor’s tip: When creating a high bun updo, it’s important to make sure your natural locks are hydrated, so generously mist the TRESemmé Botanique Nourish & Replenish Hydrating Mist all over your finished ‘do.
