When it comes to the perfect festival beauty routine, uniqueness and convenience are both top priorities and are showcased in this fun hair DIY. Bespoke Bride's [festival hair look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lush-x-download-festival-kit) blends rainbow-hued dyes with a braids and fun clips.

Referencing psychedelic and raver fashions, this hair DIY is a half-up style that is described as a "colombré." Utilizing a [curling iron](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calistas-bodywaver), one's hair is made voluminous with loose waves. Using a mix of yellow, pink, violet and blue hair chalk, adorn your whole head in a rainbow medley of faux highlights. Once blended to perfection, the finishing result should appear psychedelic and dreamy.

The half-up hairstyle is accented with a heavy braid -- a convenient accent for long days spent dancing -- and dispersed [flower clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clipin-bangs) that add a finishing touch to this fun and festive beauty look.
