Emily Malan Who else remembers the hair ties with balls we all used to wear as kids? Now, they're back with full force and can be worn in dozens of ways to create looks from playful to upscale. 02 of 19 Clips and Pearls @franshwing. Emily Malan Whoever said that you had to pick either statement hair or statement makeup was dead wrong — you were made to shine. Frame your pearl-enhanced face with standout hair clips to replicate this fun look. 03 of 19 Baby Pigtails @maciwoodmusic. Emily Malan Our favorite childhood hairstyle has evolved into this super flirty style. Pair it with a strong eye makeup look, like this flower child did, to step up your beauty look even more. 04 of 19 Butterfly Clips @Tashajanine. Emily Malan These youthful hair accessories are making a major comeback, as evidenced by this festival-goer. Not only is she wearing the clips in her hair, but if you look close enough, there are butterfly-shaped sparkles on her face and body, too. 05 of 19 Ribbon-Laced Braids @ten_london1021. Emily Malan Simple and fun, all you need to do to recreate this pretty hairstyle is take a ribbon in your favorite color and braid it along with your hair. Once it's done, take another ribbon in the same color and wrap a bow at the end of the braid for a cuteness boost. 06 of 19 Bright Eyeshadow @stellar_balcony. Emily Malan Play up your eyes by wearing a bold eyeshadow. We love this baby blue shade, which is very 60s and very on-trend right now. 07 of 19 Cotton Candy Hair @lovesabs. Emily Malan Whether you dye your hair in these My Little Pony shades or opt to wear a wig, this will be a fun look to remember. 08 of 19 Body Glitter @kimie_kime. Emily Malan We love dressing up our faces, but like this Coachella attendee, we're all about bringing back body glitter, too. 09 of 19 Choppy Layers @rsdebb. Emily Malan We know lavender is having a fashion moment — which we love — but all we can think about here is how edgy and cool these choppy layers look. 10 of 19 Space Buns @bellajasmine. Emily Malan The bun-pigtail hybrid style has been around for years, and it's still at the top of our list of the best festival beauty trends. Space buns are fun, they conveniently keep your hair off your face and back, and you can play them up by dying your hair in a standout shade, too. 11 of 19 Colorful Braids Abidah Mztrinibee. Emily Malan Dress up your braids by throwing in multi-colored strands. The result is playful, youthful, and so fun. 12 of 19 Pastel Buzzcut @drew_delacruz_. Emily Malan Super-short hair has a big impact with this muted. but standout shade. Hey, it's buzzcut season anyway. 13 of 19 Jazzed-Up Brows @g_peachess. Emily Malan The eye area almost always gets most of the fun, but don't neglect your brows! We love how this festival-goer traced their brows with dainty rhinestones. 14 of 19 Ribbon Headbands @pattiyaa. Emily Malan The hairstyling options are endless when it comes to ribbons. Whether they're laced into braids as previously shown or used as a sweet headband, they always have the green light from us. 15 of 19 Face-Framing Braids @angiegreen. Emily Malan Keep things simple with face-framing baby braids à la Hailey Bieber. 16 of 19 Temporary Tattoos @basiccherrer. Emily Malan Don't reserve your favorite temporary tattoos for your body, they can be used to play up your face, too. If you're going to a party or multi-day festival, you can be sure that this is a makeup look that won't sweat off no matter how hard you dance. 17 of 19 Flower Clips Katharina Damm. Emily Malan We all know butterfly clips, and flower clips are its cutesy cousin. We love how they're worn here, placed on the front strands and framing the face. 18 of 19 Turquoise Hair @janine_the_bean. Emily Malan We know that red hair is trending, but we say it's time to bring back the King Kylie-era turquoise shade, too. 19 of 19 Wraparound Eyeshadow @cheyennesimonemodeling. Emily Malan While most people reserve eyeshadow for the lid, let this be a lesson in how slightly wrapping it around can have a cool, edgy effect.
