Festival season is all about music, freedom, and fabulous hair. Celebrity hairstylist Mel Dominguez, who has worked with the likes of Madison Beer, Kim Petras, and Bebe Rexha, is here to share her tips on achieving effortless yet long-lasting festival hair.
Prep for Success
“Good hair starts with the right prep,” says Dominguez. For a fresh, voluminous look that lasts all day and night, she suggests a double cleanse the night before. Use OGX Bond Protein Repair Shampoo to strengthen your hair, or OGX Rosemary Mint Shampoo to clarify the scalp and remove product buildup.
After cleansing, avoid heavy conditioners, which can weigh your hair down in the heat. Instead, use OGX Bond Protein Repair Lightweight Conditioner for hydration and strength without the heaviness. For extra volume, apply OGX Volumizing Spray to your roots while your hair is still damp.
Embrace Natural Texture
Dominguez explains that this festival season is all about natural textures. Soft waves, airy curls, and tousled, undone styles are the go-to looks that feel easy but elevated. These styles hold up better throughout the day, allowing you to enjoy the festivities without worrying about your hair falling flat.
“Over-accessorizing is taking a step back,” she adds. While ribbons and subtle embellishments can still add charm, less is more when it comes to festival hair.
Festival Hair Essentials
To keep your hair in check during those hot festival days, Dominguez recommends packing a few key accessories. “Silk scrunchies and claw clips are absolute lifesavers,” she says. These will help you manage your hair when the heat gets intense or when you need a quick style change. Pair these with a mini brush or comb for a speedy refresh.
For touch-ups, don’t forget the OGX Bond Protein Repair 3-in-1 Oil Mist. “Its compact size makes it easy to carry in your bag,” Dominguez notes. A couple of drops will help smooth flyaways, protect your strands, control frizz, and add shine on the go.
In Conclusion
With the right products and a focus on natural textures, festival hair can be both beautiful and practical. Dominguez’s tips ensure that you’ll not only look fabulous but also stay cool while dancing through the night.
