The Best Color-Friendly and Heatless Hairstyles for Festival Season
Spring and Summer are knocking at our door and this means only one thing - it’s festival season! Whatever your taste in music is, festivals are the perfect place to let loose and experiment with your personal style - whether it be through your outfit, your makeup, or of course your hair. We’re here to give you a little inspo based on some of the festivals our team is heading to this season!
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, April in Indio
The festival that’s become synonymous with the season as it brings together music fans from every genre. With this year’s headliners being Lana Del Rey, Tyler the Creator, and Doja Cat we just KNOW that the crowd is going to be dressed to the nines, even in the windy desert. Coachella is always one of the most trend-forward crowds every festival season, so we fully expect to see heads turn with hair colors that are already trending like pastel pink, cherry cola, and Aquamarine. If you’re looking to show up in some of the season’s hottest hair color trends, we got you babe. Shop Frose hair dye if you’re already bleached, try our Fox Fam favorite Aquamarine hair color on a standout money piece, or get on the Cherry Cola trend with a mix of 75% Ritual Hair Dye and 25% Wrath hair dye.

No matter the style of your hair, you’ll stand out if you’re rocking vivid colors. But if you’re in the hot and windy desert, you may want to consider pulling some hair off your face with braids. The double French braid, in particular, is a festival favorite. Perfect your braids with Arctic Fox Money Hunny hair serum to help tame any stray hairs for the sleekest braids. It's the secret weapon for taming those pesky flyaways, giving your braids a smooth finish and making them a breeze to style! And if your hair is showing off a bold color (or maybe even two) - you’ll take these easy-breezy styles to a new level. 😍

StageCoach Festival, April in Indio
Yee-Hawt, Fox! If you’re heading to the desert but for some country jams with Eric Church, Jelly Roll, Miranda Lambert, Morgan Wallen, Elle King, Diplo and Post Malone (WHAT?!) we hope you’ve got your cowboy boots and hat packed. While we typically opt for hats if we haven’t washed in like a very, VERY long time, if there’s a time and a place for a cowboy hat, it’s Stagecoach and we’ve got an on-the-nose color for you to stand out in. Have you met Space Cowgirl? Space Cowgirl hair dye is our electric green with leafy undertones ready to send you straight into a sensory slime experience. It’ll work best on levels 8 and up! Maybe you don’t want to dye your entire head, but we love seeing our blonde babes use her for some peek-a-boos and money pieces. You’ll be in the desert for three days, so we HIGHLY recommend packing our Road Trip dry shampoo to revive your hair throughout the weekend!

Ultra Music Festival, March in Miami and EDC, June in Las Vegas
Where are our rave girlies at? Festival season may not be much different for you since we know you’re at it year round but Ultra and EDC are major moments and we know you’re just like us, all you see is COLOR. Make a statement from day to night with our electrifying UV-reactive shades like Neon Moon, Electric Paradise, and Porange. Not only will your locks be neon AF during the day, once the glow sticks come out your hair will be part of the show.
Why do we love these glowing colors? Neon Moon is a bright, vibrant neon hair color that’s truly out of this world, Electric Paradise is a vivid neon pink hair color with tropical coral undertones, and Porange is a bright orange shade with a peachy undertone. Since all three neon colors are UV reactive, they will turn out best on hair that is around a level 9 or lighter. The perfect shades to dance with under the electric sky! And remember, all our dyes are semi-permanent and formulated to fade so your boss isn’t coming for you once you’re back to work.

Hangout Festival, May in Alabama
Missed your chance to see Lana in the desert? Good news, you can catch her by the beach along with Zach Bryan, Odesza, The Chainsmokers, Renee Rapp and more. We love the vibe of this festival SO much. The music, the beach, the crowd, your style options are endless. We’re pretty obsessed with the idea of going pastel for a softer look yet a full-on transformation for this seaside festival since you’ll be at the beach. Achieving this dreamy look requires some serious lightening – cue the bleach! But fear not, with Arctic Fox’s Bleach, Please kit, you can lighten your locks to the perfect shade that can give an easy canvas for any pastel color. Picture yourself singing along to your favorites, beachside in a gorgeous all-over pink pastel like Frosé.

Bonnaroo, June in Tennessee
This ones for our low-maintenance Foxes. We know you’ll probably spend the weekend camping and your typical hair care routine is out the window. Be sure to pack our Volumizing Dry Shampoo so you can play around with easy hair styles every day.
We love space buns at Bonnaroo, a quirky hairstyle that is playful but super easy! Space buns are versatile and work for so many hair types and lengths. Create your buns by pulling your hair into two ponytails, twist them into a small hoop and tie with another ponytail to secure! Add a little Vacay Volumizing Shampoo for some texture and take out any oil you might have that can make your buns flop! Braids are another easy go to, but we’re obsessing over bubble ponys - as many as you can! These easy and fun styles will take you from stage to stage so you can just chill and take in the music!

Lollapalooza, August in Chicago
The lineup is literally being announced TODAY and we’re on the edge of our seat. Happening towards the end of summer in the heart of Chicago, we love this as a way to keep experimenting with vivids that will help transition into fall. Our Ginger Flare hair color is always on fire and borders the line of a natural color, or use some of that leftover Ritual and Frose hair dye to create this gorgeous dusty rose, the fade is sure to be a stunner.

We can’t talk about festival season without talking about hair tinsel! With the Y2K trend being at the forefront again, all thanks to TikTok, it only makes sense that tinsel is in the mix. Tinsel is quite easy to pack and DIY. Lollapalooza brings people together from all over and we love how diverse a simple accessory like hair tinsel can be! Tinsel is such an easy way to level up your already colorful look.

Made in America, September in Philly
Sadly, Made in America was canceled last year so we’re really hoping it comes back with a bang this September. Curated by Jay-Z and home to our favorite hip hop artists, we’re already planning our looks to close out the summer in Philly. We love using this time of year to refresh our locks and even revive our blonde with some Bleach, Please. For Made in America, if we’re not going blonde we’re looking to lean into red hues and mixes like Cowboy Copper. A look we still cannot get over is Nai’s mix of Cosmic Sunshine hair dye, Purple AF hair dye and Ginger Flare to get this fire look!
