Before cottagecore and its flower power aesthetic blew up, boho chic ruled the fashion scene. Not a single “It” girl from the mid-aughts was immune to ethnic prints, suede boots, and “barely there” waves. Fast forward two decades, a slew of designers like Paco Rabanne and Chloé incorporate crochet and tie-dyes into their collections, sparking a full-blown bohemian renaissance.
With the return of boho chic style, it’s only natural that hippie-inspired dos are back on trend. And this time, they’re not just for a select few. Explore these easy boho hairstyles that are perfect for channeling your carefree spirit without looking like you’ve stepped out of 2006.
Messy Space Buns
The double buns may seem more suited for the Y2K fashion but don’t let that fool you. When you position the knots near the base of your necks, it instantly gives off a boho chic feel. To recreate this ‘do, loosely twist your hair on each side and secure it with clear elastics. Pull out a few strands for a more laid-back charm. As for outfits, you can pair a maxi dress with oversized shades or keep things simple with a flowy top and jeans.
Half Updo with Baby Braids
If you want a bohemian hairstyle that’s part playful, part sophisticated, search no further. The half-up style can be adapted to suit a variety of hair lengths and textures. Besides, there’s so much room for experimentation. Add face-framing baby braids for a touch of quirkiness to your hairdo. Need more volume up top? Tease the hair at the crown with a rattail comb. And of course, your retro attire won’t be complete without accessories like decorative pins and vintage clips.
Boho Chic Head Scarf
Here’s a lifesaver for all you busy gals. Grab any scarf or pashmina from your closet and wrap it tightly around your forehead. Ta-da! Your greasy roots are concealed and no more sweat dripping down your forehead. Plus, this clever trick can save your scalp from the sweltering Philippine heat.
Braided Headband
Whether you’re attending a wedding or meeting your SO’s parents, you can show off your artistic side with the stunning braided headband. It’s one of the most romantic boho hairstyles for long hair and is a red carpet favorite. Best of all, you don’t have to worry about it looking perfect. The messier, the better. If you have short hair, create a lace Dutch plait that crosses over the top of your head.
To zhuzh it up, apply TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum. It fights frizz, detangles knots, adds luster, boosts softness, and tames flyaways. You can use your flat iron to curl the ends of your hair for a tousled finish. If you have curly hair, let it shine through!
Fishtail Braid
No other boho chic hairstyle captures the hippie princess vibe quite like the fishtail braid. Does it work on textured hair? You bet! In fact, your natural waves take this simple ‘do to a whole new level. You can put it into a ponytail, add one to your half updo, or leave it hanging loose. Whichever way you choose to have it, this braid is a major showstopper. We’re coming for your throne, Blake Lively!
Faux Undercut With Hair Rings
It’s okay if you’re still mustering the guts to shave one side of your head. After all, you can always fake the look with micro French braids. The faux undercut may seem intimidating, especially for novices, but it’ll take less than five minutes once you’ve got the pattern down. To finish, hook several pieces of hair rings through the braids.
Butterfly Ponytail
Flower crowns? Scratch them. It’s time to bust out your butterfly clips from the nineties and attach them to your high ponytail. While Millie Bobby Brown’s bohemian-meets-hyperfeminine hair may not be for the faint of heart, it has a certain je ne sais quoi that can set you apart from other boho babes. Plus, it packs a lot of punch with minimum effort.
A little warning, though. Tight hairstyles such as this may cause more strain on your hair strands and roots, which could lead to increased hair shedding. That’s why it’s important to prep your strands with Cream Silk Ultimate Reborn Hairfall Defense Conditioner before styling. Infused contains argan, rosehip, and marula oils that help strengthen, soften, and moisturize your locks.
The boho chic trend is all about dancing to your own tune and setting your creativity free, as shown in these hairstyles. Go and give them a whirl whenever you’re feeling adventurous.
