5 key hair trends from Coachella 2023

Coachella 23 is currently taking over the Colorado desert and, with celebrities and influencers packing the event, it’s as much a music festival as it is a bona fide runway parade.

With your clients’ social media feeds inevitably focused on this event-based trend decider, and headlines filtering through about the best looks and must-see styles, we’ve rounded up some early hair trends that may see your clients through their own upcoming festival season, all the way from Palm Springs.

Hair Accessories

Hair accessories of every kind are trending at Coachella, from feathers to gems, headbands and even retro-style butterfly clips. These details are being used as colour features and festival-style glam in the Coachella crowds.

Braids

Braids of all kinds, from micro braids to long plaits, have been seen on festival-goers ranging from regular ticket-holders to celebrities, alike. It’s a great way to manage long-lasting, trending styles through the heat, the crowds and the extensive time, becoming a sensible hair trend for the season.

Bold Transformations

If there’s one energy to take from Coachella into the chair it’s the approach of bold transformations and statements, with A-listers leading the way. Social media star Charli D’Amelio transformed from long dark locks to a blonde bob, and even if it’s a wig, that transformative energy was clear, as is also evident in the old school, 90s style bobs that packed the festival at large. Saweetie’s hand-painted rainbow hair also made headlines – this is the time for clients to take a big swing!

Copper Hair

If there’s one colour that keeps popping up, it’s the celebrity favoured copper hair, with that luxury hue permeating the desert and Instagram through the festival so far.

Messy Hair

What Grazia titled as “low-effort hair” has been a staple of the festival, led by the biggest names such as Kendall and Kylie Jenner, whose loose locks and messy buns were in stark contrast to the more extreme hair approaches we’re used to from these stars. Your clients may want to go into festival season looking natural and perfectly unkempt, and it’ll take the ideal cuts and colours as a basis to pull that off.
