Bohemian Hair Styles

Talking about Bohemian hair styles, I think of earthy and natural looking hair. Long hair parted in the middle and hanging in loose subtle curls is a throwback to the 1970’s hippie scene. Back then, young women wore long flowing hair with leather headbands, faded jeans and chunky jewelry, very much like some of our styles today. With or without bangs, Bohemian hair enhances your natural beauty and brings out a feminine glow. Loose face-framing curls can give you a soft, romantic look.

Thick straight bangs are one option, while some prefer long, side-swept, almost wispy bangs. No matter what texture your hair is, wearing it in its natural state is perfectly Bohemian.

You can create this wild child hair, by scrunching even or layered hair sprayed with a curl activator such as TIGI’s, Curls Rock or a mousse like Paul Mitchell’s Sculpting Foam with conditioner. Scrunching will give your hair more texture and volume, let your hair air dry and finger comb through. Your bohemian hair style is uniquely yours to wear and as a hair stylist, I think our individual differences are what make each of us beautiful.

Bohemian hair styles are low maintenance and look ultra-feminine, so keep make-up fresh and light to go with your hairstyle.

Want a Bohemian Updo hair style? You can create a braided halo; start with a center part and a long braid. Wrap the braid around your head and pin it down as you wrap, secure the end of the braid under the beginning of it.


Side braids connecting in back

Another Bohemian updo hair style starts with two French braids on the sides, which are braided to the neckline where the ends are secured with elastic. Separating the ends into smaller sections, twist each section into a coil then pin it down, leaving the ends free. It’s an artsy, Bohemian updo that turns out differently every time you create it.

Your Bohemian hair style may be as simple as pulling your hair off your face and letting long waves spill over your shoulders. Whichever, you choose remember that Bohemian hair is clean, shiny and natural!
