And the darling of festival hair is none other than Vanessa Hudgens, who is currently making her Broadway debut in Gigi.

Tip 1: Go Wavy

Go wavy, but do it via the lazy girl’s route by using the fail-proof KISS Instawave Automatic Curler (54.99, target.com). Anything that has the word “auto” into has to make your life easier, right? And luckily for this gem of a tool, it works like a dream, but of course, there’s one caveat…read the directions carefully!

Some the benefits of the Instawave tool includes:

Heats up to a maximum of 420˚F
Diamond Ceramic Ionic technology leaves hair looking shiny and frizz-free
Auto Shutoff: Automatically shuts off after 90 minutes
Good for use on all hair lengths and types

But rather than talk about, be about it I say, so here’s a video showcasing how to get waves in seconds with very little effort.

Tip 2: Dye It

Perhaps you’re feelin’ colorful and want a new hue that reflects the festival you. In this case, check out MANIC PANIC® DYE HARD ($9.99, manicpanic.com) the temporary hair color gel that styles, holds and adds color – yes, all three!

Tip 3: Protect It from the Sun

Tip 4: Maintain It

New to my beauty lexicon is the brand Macadamia Professional – a brand that prides itself on being the authority on global textures. When your day includes seeing act after act and walking about just cuz, you ought to make sure that your hair will withstand that active outdoor agenda, so try Macadamia Professional Anti-Humidity Finishing Spray ($25, macadamiahair.com). This is a lightweight finishing spray that shields your hair from humidity while it fights frizz all day long in all climates from sleek blowouts to curls and coils; it also gives a light hold and beautiful sheen.
