Celebrate in style with these Oktoberfest-inspired hairdos that ooze elegance and charm!
Oktoberfest is the world’s largest beer festival held annually in Germany between late September weekend and the first Sunday in October. This year, many American cities also join a century-old tradition with local fairs, parades, and music concerts. From Washington to Texas – all the beer lovers are ready to dress up and sport elaborate hairstyles for the occasion.
German influencer and beauty blogger Lara Rúnarsson knows exactly how to style your locks for the ultimate festive ambiance. She shares her favorite Oktoberfest hairstyles for you to recreate. Here are four hairdos to inspire your next look and celebrate the beer festival with the rest of the world!
Embrace modern fashion by switching from traditional Bavarian braids on both sides of your head to a single French braid. Pull your hair back into a low ponytail first and braid it all the way to the ends. Secure it with an elastic and fluff it up a bit to create a fuller look. Finally, leave some loose tendrils around your face for a framing effect and enjoy your glam!
Crown braid hairstyles are made for special occasions. They are comfortable and elegant enough to wear to festivities and not to worry about getting your hair all frizzy and tangled on the dance floor. Start with a Dutch braid at the nape of the neck and work across the top of the forehead. Repeat the process on the opposite side. Lastly, pull both braids over the top of the head to form a crown and secure the tips with some bobby pins.
If your hair needs more volume, try this hairstyle! The trick is to part your front section to the side and spray it with a hairspray for a stronger hold and lasting effect. Next, sweep the rest of your locks up into a high ponytail and create a messy bun. Curl some loose strands and let them frame your face beautifully for a more laid-back feel.
Hair bows are the ultimate girlie accessories that instantly add cuteness to any look. Opt for a half up hairdo to channel this romantic style with confidence and allure. Just gather the top section of your hair into a half ponytail and topsy tail it into a bubble bun. Secure the hairstyle with a claw clip with a little bow attached to it. Voilà! Your festive look is ready!
Kick off the weekend with these Oktoberfest-themed ‘dos to match your festive vibes! Perhaps you’ll find your new favorite hairstyle this time.
