This simple prep will be the foundation to your festival looks.

1. After washing, use a lightweight styling mousse on damp hair. Try Salon Science Swiss Apple Cellumax Volumising Foam (£15, Boots).

2. Blow-dry hair to one side then blow-dry to the other side, giving body at the root.

3. Use flat irons from the roots to top of the ears.

TIP: No time for tonging? Wet your hair, apply mousse then put hair into two big braids on either side of the head. Air-dry then simply let it down and run fingers through to separate.

ANGEL BRAID

This is a blend of fun meets chic. It shows off long necks and killer cheekbones.

1. Split hair into a deep side-parting and divide into two on each side of the head.

2. Dutch braid on one side of the head and secure with a clear snag-free band.

3. Do the same but start on the opposite side of the head, at the top, and Dutch braid around.

4. Bring each braid up and around so the ends are close to your forehead, then secure with a couple of hair grips.

Both braids should be secured at the top of your head, towards the front

5. Once braids are pinned and secured, snip off the bands.

6. Take it further with flower accessories. Try Pink Flower Band (£3, Primark).

Accessorise with flowers and plenty of hairspray

7. Finish with hairspray. Try Lee Stafford, Hold Tight (£5.99, Boots).

DIFFICULTY: 5/5. Not for the faint-hearted, this will get your fingers into a twist if you find braids tricky

Well worth the effort to look pretty at the festival

Seriously pretty with a grungy edge – this hairband tuck looks tricky but is OK once you get the hang of it.

1. Start by brushing the hair out then tipping hair upside down.

2. Apply head band and position on to the forehead, pulling back over the crown, smoothing hair underneath. Try this black chain hair band (£3, ­Primark).

3. Tease inch-long sections from the bottom, roll up and tuck into the hair band around the back from ear to ear. Start by doing each side then ­tucking up the back into a roll.

This looks like it has taken a lot of time and effort but is quick and simple – if you know how.

1. Start by creating different sized braids throughout the hair, all leading from the crown of the head. Secure the bottom with clear snag-free hairband such as 100 Pack No More Snags Hair Elastics (£2.99, claires.co.uk).

Start with lots of different sized braids

4. Take pieces from the front sections, twist them and pin back towards the crown.

TIP: Use pins crinkly side down and cross two pins together to ensure the hair stays in place.

DIFFICULTY: 2/5. As long as you can do a simple plait, this style is easy to recreate
