For beauty lovers who are officially ready for music festival season, the arrival of April means that loose, flowing waves and bohemian chic looks are en vogue once again. Whether you’re planning to take in a concert or heading to an after party, there’s nothing like natural-looking wavy strands to help you capture the laidback energy in the air. Here’s how to achieve the season’s must-have hairstyle in just a few simple steps.

1) Start off by preparing your straight locks with a styling spray: To launch your hairstyle, begin your look by spritzing your sleek and middle-parted strands with a styling spray. Use your fingers to texturize and tousle your locks for a carefree, youthful effect.

2) Gently pull the hair near your visage back and style into a crown braid: Next, craft the perfect crown braid by pulling your locks away from your face and styling them into a braid. The hair should then be plaited into a wrapped crown braid which encircles the back of your head as well.

3) Pin your locks into place with bobby pins and leave them in overnight: In order to achieve flawless beach waves, secure your hair into place with bobby pins overnight. The next morning, unfasten your bobby pins to reveal soft, gently falling waves.

4) Adjust your waves to correct any flyaway strands or frizz: At this point, you should have a head of beautiful wavy locks. To truly showcase your new boho chic hair, run your fingers through your strands to smooth any flyaways, tangles or unwanted frizz.
