Your strands will be your ultimate accessory and the perfect touch to your Coachella look with Clark’s go-to styles for this year’s festival. You can thank us later. :)
Three-Braid Frenzy
Why I love it: This style is the perfect way to add your own unique flare. I divided my hair into three sections and braided each section. From there I made little buns, then wrapped and pinned the braids. While I added a headband, you can choose a flower or barrette for a different effect every time.
Dutch Pigtails
Why I love it: I am loving pigtails lately — especially these dutch braids! Here is a tutorial on this cute, fun, and easy-to-achieve look. While they’re not necessary, I added Barefoot Blonde Hair extensions to to increase the thickness and length of the plaits.
Natural Curls
Why I love it: You know by now that I’m an advocate for using the least amount of heat on your hair as possible, which is why I rock this style often. Natural, check! Beachy waves, check! No heat, check!
The Halo Braid
Why I love it: Hair crowns for Coachella? Groundbreaking. But really, this is one of my favorite “go-to” styles. It’ll look like you spent a lot of time and effort to get here, but it’s actually really simple to create.
Messy Top Knot
Why I love it: You heard it here first. The messy bun never goes out of style. (Fingers crossed!) Plus you’ll never wear it the same way twice — which just adds to the fun!
Fishtail Pony
Why I love it: This braid-upgrade keeps your hair out of your face and off your neck — which is all you can ask for when you spend a hot day outside. Tip: Once braided, gently pull each section loose to make your fishtail look extra full!
No-Show Three-Strand Braid
Why I love it: It doesn’t get easier than this. It’s just a simple three-strand braid pulled apart to look thicker: high impact with minimal effort. Wrap your hair around the hair tie for a polished finishing touch. Check out the tutorial, along with two other quick and easy styles (that take only three minutes or less!)
