The choice is limitless, from up-dos to dutch braids, free-flowing, and color options, there’s no end to the creativity and freedom you have when styling for your rave hair style! Today we’re going to explore the best rave hair ideas that you can get some inspiration for the next music festival you attend.
RAVE BRAIDS: THE HOTTEST TREND
Our favorite way to rock a rave is with braided styled hair. They are by far the most versatile hairstyle you could rock at a rave due to the various Kpop accessories you can weave into your hair. We’re talking about hoop rings, feathers, flowers, clips, and so much more. Better yet, braids are simply practical in the way that they can keep your hair secure while dancing and jumping around. What is not to love about incorporating braids into your next rave hairstyle? Let’s explore some of the hottest rave hair below for inspiration.
TOP RAVE HAIR IDEAS
Up-Dos
A head-turning up-do that we love is this look right here. This style is a great option for rave hairstyles for long hair. Think of it as a reverse dutch braid. Simply split your hair into two sections, and begin braiding from the bottom up instead of top to bottom. Once you reach the top of your head, secure each end with an elastic band. Twist the remaining strands of hair into a flat bun and bobby pin it in place. Decorate your hairline with rhinestones and eyelash glue and spray your roots with any vibrant color of your choice. Want to achieve this look but you have shorter hair? Just opt in for some rave extensions!
PROS: With your hair up, you’ll have less to worry about when it comes to making a mess. Drink spilled? No problem. Need to run to the porta-potty? No-fuss. Feeling faint from the heat? No hair, no heat. The convenience of an up-do knows no bound.
CONS: Sometimes the weight of all your hair in one place can get a little heavy. Expect a sore neck by the end of the night after jumping around to all your favorite tunes. Some up-dos are easier to maintain than others, but be careful to secure your hair rave style properly to avoid pieces falling out of place by the end of the night.
Modified Doubles
What’s not to love about long rave hairstyles? Upgrade your typical double dutch braids for a more fabulous look and add in rave hair extensions! This look is much easier than it appears to be. If you know how to double dutch braid your hair, you’re basically halfway there. Simply split your hair and section it into two. Before starting your braid, take a section of your hairpiece of any color of choice and fold it into halves. Begin weaving the rave extensions from the folded point into your braid. Once you reach past the point of your neck, switch from a dutch braid into a fishtail braid. Continue to braid even after your natural hair length is no more and finish off with an elastic band on both ends. Gently tug at the braid to give the hair a little more puff and volume.
PROS: whether it’s a double ponytail, double dutch braids, or pigtails, the nature of this hairstyle has always been associated with youthfulness. Complete your look with a rave hairstyle that is cute and sweet. Really, it’s a means of self-representation we always say.
CONS: Hair extension pieces can be pretty overwhelming if you’re not used to having that much length in your hair regularly. Just be sure not to accidentally dip your hairpiece into anything you wouldn’t want to!
Half-up Half-down
Looking for something a little fun but still want that mane to run wild? Opt for a half up half down rave hair. This look is super easy to achieve. Take two small sections that run from the top of your head and begin a french or dutch braid. Weave in hoop rings or any other fun hair accessories as you braid through. Stop just as you reach the end and secure with two elastic bands. Finish off with some glitter and a hair curler to add some textured waves
PROS: Rave hair styles like these are a great way to compromise for length and style and is always going to be flattering for anyone who wants to rock it.
CONS: Letting most of your hair down during an all day long festival might get a little hot for some people. Be sure to bring a scrunchie for any heat emergencies after a long session of dancing the night away.
