Boho chic styles for weddings and special events

One of the keys to this look is to make it look casual, with loose curls or slightly tousled hair. Braids or plaits are also a good choice, but they should not be too tight. They should be loose and the trend is to wear them on the sides. Applying holding products without a wet look is important, such as hairspray or a little styling cream or wax. 

We need some accessories to evoke this style, such as tiaras, flowers, ribbons, scarves, beads or feathers, to give us that natural, casual, hippie look. The colours for these complements are usually neutral and earthy tending towards colours such as beige, sand, cream, terracotta, etc, although pale pastel shades can be used for a more striking look. These accessories should obviously combine well with your outfit.

Boho chic styles for short hair

Achieving the Boho chic style with short hair should not be a problem. If you use the right accessories, you can achieve the same effect, you do not need to wear plaits or braids.

Boho chic styles for medium length hair

There is a much wider range of possibilities for medium length hair. You can choose tousled curls to add volume by using hair tongues or curlers for loose curls. Casual low bun, with some loose locks for that more casual look. A partly tied back bunch of braids starting at the top of our head and joined together at the back.

Boho chic styles for long hair

The side French plait is the benchmark style and most acknowledged among the Boho chic styles. It is also known as the fishtail. You can leave some loose locks once you have done your braid, using a mouse tail comb. Another iconic style is a low bun with braids surrounding it. It is ideal for any type of event, any time of the year.

This style is a cry for freedom, a natural look, with crafted details, so don’t worry if you are unable to do the most iconic ones. A style depends to a large extent on imagination, the accessories you use, the range of colours, and more often than not, that is actually more important than the length of your hair.
