Festival Hair Styling Tips: Your Guide to Nailing the 2025 Vibe

Festival season is approaching and while we know weeks are spent planning the outfit, don't sleep on your hair style. Music festivals are where your style can go bold and free, and this year’s no exception, so make sure to style hair that pops.

Did you know that aerosols aren’t allowed on-site? It's the perfect time to use the Not So Dry Shampoo to touch up roots and ends for a more environmentally friendly alternative - plus, it doesn't leave a white cast. 

Below are more tips for effortless styles (say hello to The Wave Maker).

Start Strong: Hydrate Like You Mean It

The desert’s dry and dusty, so hydration’s your first move. The Moisture Smoothie Shampoo + Conditioner is your go-to for moisture -- it's even available in a travel size. We also recommend preparing with the Healing Power Hair Masque pre-fest (buy the travel mini here). With avocado, banana oil, and coconut oil, it’s a heavy-hitter that leaves your strands strong and ready for anything—braids, buns, or just letting it flow.

Mid-Fest Hair Refresh: Festival Approved. 

Day two calls for some pick me ups. Coachella’s no-aerosol rule means Not So Dry Shampoo and our Rosemary Vinegar Hair Rinse are your MVPs. Not So Dry Shampoo's combats grease, boosts volume, and keeps you looking fresh with no powdery mess. Rub it in and style for a just washed, “still got it” look. For a quick reset, Rosemary Vinegar Hair Rinse feels amazing and refreshes from scalp to root, cutting through dusty buildup and adding a natural shine—perfect for reviving those glitter-dusted strands sustainably.

Style It Your Way: Play With the Trends

With heat styling, the Multi Miracle Hair Mist is your secret weapon. Protect hair from split ends while styling. Going for a sleek, modern vibe? Simply Straight Straightening Serum smooths flyaways and keeps your ponytail sharp, no heat needed mid-fest. For curly girl looks,  The Mighty Cream has your back—shea butter and coconut oil defines your curls without weighing them down for a standout look that lasts through the solar-powered sets.

That Final Touch: Shine On

Add extra shine with the Endless Hair Glow Oil. A few drops worked into your hair, and your ends are glossy for a photo-ready shine. Work it in and let your hair catch the vibe.

After the Dust Settles: Hair Recovery Mode

Don't forget the post-fest self care. Your strands will deserve some extra love. Rinse off the chaos with the The Deep Cleanse Shampoo and Conditioner or The Scalp Restore then treat strands to a hair masque the resonates for a deep reset.

Festivals in 2025 are your chance to be free from rules and let your hair match the mood—bold, sustainable, and totally you. With Raw Sugar's star lineup, you’re ready to rock it, from the first beat to the last eco-friendly encore.
