Celeb Hairstylist David von Cannon Shares His Top Tips for Stunning Hair, All Coachella Long
Figuring out your hair looks for Coachella can be quite the dilemma.
You may be envisioning sleek, flowy and voluminous styles to complement your festival 'fit, only to realize that they're going to last about a half hour under the sweltering Coachella sun. A marathon like Coachella calls for a more practical approach, but that doesn't mean you can't look super cute in the process. We turned to celebrity hairstylist David von Cannon for his expert opinion on all things Coachella hair.
Sweety High: There are a lot of hair considerations when it comes to a weekend-long festival like Coachella, including sun, humidity, heat, sweat, grime and that you might not have regular access to a shower. What are your top hairstyle recommendations for looking cute and put-together during the festival, despite all of this?
David von Cannon: The top hairstyles I recommend for looking cute and put-together during the festival, despite the heat and humidity, are easy, fun hairstyles that look great and aren't going to be in your face or sticking to your body. It's best to choose hairstyles that allow your hair to be pulled back, like a pretty braid, cool ponytails or pigtails or even playful double buns!
SH: What are some great styles for people who struggle with frizz from humidity?
DC: Some great styles for those who struggle with frizz include a messy bun or a messy ponytail. These looks will distract from the frizz, while still making hair look put-together.

SH: What are some great styles for those concerned with looking greasy?
DC: Some great styles for those concerned with looking greasy include tight, Dutch braids and high ponytails that hide greasy roots. You can also hide greasy hair with a variety of cute hair accessories.
SH: What are the must-have products for an event like this? How should they be utilized, and how often?
DC: Salon-quality, vegan hair color and hair care brand, Better Natured, has a wide variety of must-have hair products for festivals. For example, Better Natured's Fresh Dry Shampoo Powder will keep greasy hair at bay, especially for a hot, humid event like Coachella! This 99% naturally derived, non-aerosol dry shampoo powder will absorb any oil and refresh strands without a trace of white residue, so you can apply once before heading to the event and you're good for the day!

Another product that I would recommend for a festival event is Better Natured's Beachy Texture Spray. This sea-salt texture spray adds just enough grit and volume for perfectly imperfect, fresh-from-the-beach waves, with a light, brushable hold. It's your best bet for achieving those "I woke up like this" vibes, making it perfect for those effortless, messy buns, loose braids and wavy ponytails.
