How to prep your hair
Good preparation is half the battle! Prepping your hair is an essential step for keeping your look long-lasting. Prepping means you get your hair ready before creating the final look (like curls). This process makes your hair respond better to styling products and keeps your hair in Perfect shape longer! Below, we explain how to prep your hair before you start curling:
1. Dry shampoo: The lifesaver
Why: Use dry shampoo to absorb excess oil and give your hair a fresh feel, especially when you don’t have time to wash it. Dry shampoo also gives the first bit of volume and texture, which helps your curls hold better later!
Extra tip: Festivals can be hectic, and washing your hair regularly can be tough. Dry shampoo is perfect for keeping your hair fresh and voluminous between washes.

2. Leave-in conditioner
Why: Apply a leave-in conditioner to keep your hair hydrated, protected, and frizz-free. This product also helps make your hair easier to comb. Your hair will look shiny and be protected from heat styling tools!

3. Heat protection
Why: Use a heat protection product if you plan to style your hair with heat tools like a hairdryer, curling iron, or straightener. This protects your hair from heat damage and gives a smooth, sleek finish.

Beer spilled on your hair, a heavy rain shower — anything can happen. So always bring elastics and hair clips in your bag. That way you can always pull off a slick back bun last minute! Bet Mand someone will ask if you have a hair elastic too!
Protect your hair from the sun
Last but not least, UV protection for your hair. Festivals take place in summer, meaning your hair is often exposed to UV rays. This can damage and dry out your hair, which you definitely want to avoid. With the Schwarzkopf Bonacure Sun Scalp & Hair Mist you can effectively protect your hair from these harmful rays. The Spray hydrates your hair with a vitamin complex, adds gorgeous shine, and nourishes intenSisively. This product will make your hair shine even brighter than the sun!
Protect your skin from the sun & shine!
Besides protecting your hair from harmful UV rays, it’s also important to protect your skin. Of course, you want to shine at your favourite festival, and the best way is with a shimmering sunscreen like the gleam Glitter Sunscreen. We love that sunkissed look!
How to keep your make-up look perfect all day

1. Primer
Why: To keep your make-up looking flawless all day without settling into fine lines, we recommend a good primer . It’s important to choose a primer that suits your skin type.

Recommended: Face primers for all skin types, choose the primer that suits you!
2. Setting Spray: Ready? Set. GO!

Extra tip: A setting Spray not only keeps your make-up intact but also feels refreshing at the festival!

3. Setting Powder
Why: Powdering your skin with a face powder helps keep your make-up in place and prevents your skin from looking shiny.
