Bohemian means unconventional with a spiritual or artistic touch and hairstyles in this category will display braids, twist, free-flowing tresses, and so much more. Originally coined for gypsies, it has become more modernized as time flows and is a combination of hippy and Renaissance so expect to see some 70’s styles as well as romantic hairstyles. Boho, the shortened term, has become popular during certain periods and the number of hairstyles has just increased.
These hairstyles are so easy to do, yet look so beautiful and stylish. What I love most about it is that you can play up your natural texture or temporarily change it to another, but still keep it natural-looking and effortless. Whether you’re going to a festival, celebrating the 4th of July or going to a Boho-chic wedding, you’ll find a look for you. Here are some popular bohemian hairstyles that you can mix and match to create your own look!
#1: High-Volume Boho Braid
This is bohemian and natural, yet trendy and chic. There’s a balance between the pretty and feminine top half of the style versus the attractive, tangled texture at the bottom. If you want to express your fun, carefree and stylish side, you can wear cute hairstyles on medium-length hair to a wedding, prom, music festival, or a night out on the town. This style can be done on all hair types. It requires texture in the hair so get a texturizing spray or volumizing powder to add grit. This makes hair easier to manipulate, especially if you have thin, straight hair.
#2: Loose Braids Style
This style is trendy boho. It’s not your everyday, hippy-ish, free-spirit style. It’s a little more polished, with just a bit of a laid-back feel. From the front, your hair looks curled and ready to go. Then you get a little surprise when you see the braid in the back!
#3: Bohemian Braided Updo
This Bohemian hairstyle is effortless, romantic, and slightly messy. Bohemian updos with braids are simple but add so much to the overall style. Boho braid hairstyles are best suited for women with medium to long hair and without short layers because they’ll stick out of the braid. Use texture spray to add some dimension to the bun and help hold the braids when slightly pulled apart.
#4: Dimensional Bohemian Updo
Is your big day coming up? If so, this dimensional bohemian updo is a dream and will make you look like a real princess. Ask for some volume and pinned-up fishtail braids. Any master wedding stylist will execute this updo and make you feel amazing on your wedding day.
#5: Bohemian Gypsy Braids
Bohemian gypsy braids are a great way to switch up and protect your natural texture and to avoid a flat iron. Make sure your braider is installing quality hair. Rebook maintenance every 8 weeks!
#6: Gorgeous Boho with Small Braids
Try an elegant style with a double braid that is great for weddings or events. Get a great hairspray to hold your style! Try Not Your Mother’s haircare products. Hair extensions can also be added to hairstyles for a much fuller look.
#7: Boho-Inspired Brown and Blonde Hair
This boho-inspired brown and blonde hair is the best for beachy babes whose hair doesn’t hold a curl. The braids show off the dimension and add points of interest throughout. The half-up, half-down can help you pull hair away from your face while keeping some down for a more relaxed feel.
#8: Long Hair with Flower Accessories
Boho hair is quite popular at the moment, especially when it comes to weddings. To get this look requires a lot of hair. So, you will more than likely need to add some extensions. I would choose clip-ins so that they can be placed exactly where the volume is needed most. Consult with your stylist to see what’s best for you!
#9: Boho Long Blonde Festival Hair
Boho-inspired, long blonde hair is popular this summer for festival concert-goers. Adding jewelry to your hair has replaced the feathers of the prior years. My advice would be to practice your style a few times before the day of the concert. You’ll want to curl your hair, and each section will be in different directions. Take a top section from the top of the ear to straight back and up to leave as much hair down as possible. Pull two small sections from the top knot to leave out to braid. Add in the jewelry as you braid.
#10: Boho for Short Hair
This is a textured chignon, perfect for a “classy hair girl.” It’s simple but still has some intricate detail within the style, giving it interest and beauty. You can dress it up or dress it down. By adding a hairpiece, veil, or bridal gown – you have a beautiful wedding hair updo.
#11: Boho Chic Hairstyle
Boho chic hairstyles are a beautiful option for brides. Pair the wavy style with hair accessories to elevate the look even further.
#12: Boho Hippie Style
Consider boho hippie chic hairstyles for your next event. Boho half-up half-down hairstyles would be perfect for the summer bride. Style down with long beachy waves and braids and embellish with loose garland or a flower crown.
#13: Dimensional Boho Chain Braid
This style gives off a fun yet edgy boho vibe. It’s one of the short hairstyles that offer a timeless look of a traditional braid, but by switching it up and making it a chain braid, it becomes edgy and different.
#14: Bohemian Beachy Side Braid
This Bohemian hairdo is “beachy” with a side braid. It looks very natural, as if the sun has kissed the hair itself. There’s natural depth at the root and it melts into the beautiful blonde pops around the face and on the ends.

The best product to recreate this style would be the Design Me Puff Me powder because of the texture it gives your hair. This style would suit most hair types but works best on long thick hair. It’s a casual look, so it may not work for those with a hectic or corporate lifestyle. Bohemian hairstyles look best on ladies with a round or oval face shape.

A braided crown is sure to create stunning boho updo hairstyles with a romantic touch. Use a dry shampoo to give the hair a good amount of texture, as well as a stronghold hairspray.
