Bohemian refers to an unconventional style infused with a spiritual or artistic flair, and hairstyles in this realm will showcase braids, twists, free-flowing locks, and much more. Originally associated with gypsies, it has evolved over time and combines elements of hippy culture and Renaissance influences, so expect to see some styles reminiscent of the 70s alongside romantic hairstyles. The term Boho, which is a shortened version, has gained popularity during various periods, and the variety of hairstyles has greatly expanded.

These hairstyles are incredibly simple to create, yet appear stunning and chic. What I appreciate most is that you can enhance your natural texture or temporarily transform it to another style, all while maintaining a natural and effortless look. Whether attending a festival, celebrating the 4th of July, or participating in a Boho-chic wedding, there’s a perfect look for you. Here are some beloved bohemian hairstyles that you can mix and match to design your own unique style!

#17: Bohemian Long Blonde Festival Locks

Bohemian-inspired, long blonde hair is trending this summer for festival attendees. Incorporating jewelry into your hair has taken the place of feathers from previous years. My recommendation would be to rehearse your style a few times before the concert day. You’ll want to curl your hair, ensuring each section is styled in different directions. Take a top section from the top of the ear and pull it straight back and up to allow as much hair to flow down as possible. Pull two small sections from the top knot to braid and incorporate the jewelry as you weave.

#18: Bohemian Brown and Blonde Hair Inspiration

This bohemian brown and blonde hairstyle is ideal for beach-loving individuals whose hair struggles to hold a curl. The braids emphasize the dimension and introduce engaging elements throughout.

Consult with your stylist to determine the best options for you!
