12. Braided Half-Up
Adding a braid to your half-up style instantly gives it a touch of country charm. You can do a simple three-strand braid, a rope braid, or even a small fishtail braid. Pin it back cleanly, and you’ve got a lovely look. Pulling gently on the edges of the braid before pinning can make it look thicker and more noticeable.
11. Fishtail Braid
A fishtail braid looks really intricate, but it’s actually not that hard once you get the hang of it! It’s a beautiful alternative to a standard braid and has a lovely texture. If a full fishtail feels like too much, you could do a smaller accent fishtail braid within another style. After you finish braiding, gently pull on the sides of the braid to loosen it up and give it a softer, fuller appearance.
10. Side Braid
A side braid has a relaxed and romantic feel that’s perfect for a country concert. It keeps your hair mostly out of your face while still letting it flow over one shoulder. Try adding some volume at the crown before starting the braid to give the style more height and presence.
9. Crown Braid
Feeling a little regal? A crown braid is a beautiful way to keep your hair up and off your neck. It involves braiding sections of hair around your head, creating a halo effect. It takes a little practice, but the result is stunning. Use small bobby pins tucked underneath the braid to keep it securely in place all night long.
8. Boxer Braids
Boxer braids aren’t just for the gym! They’re perfect for a country concert because they are super secure and keep your hair completely contained. If you plan on doing a lot of dancing and moving, these are a fantastic option. Make sure you braid them tightly at the roots to ensure they stay neat throughout the show.
7. Accessorized Waves
Simple waves are great, but adding an accessory makes them concert-ready! A cute cowboy hat is a classic choice. You could also add a bandanna tied around your head or clip in some fun, sparkly hairpins. Think about the colors in your outfit and pick accessories that complement them for a cohesive look.
6. Accessorized Ponytail
Elevate your ponytail with the right accessory! A colorful scrunchie or a ribbon tied around the elastic can add a pop of personality. You could also wrap a scarf around the base of the ponytail for a bohemian touch. Matching your hair accessory to your boots or belt is a fun way to tie your look together.
5. Braids with Hat
Braids and hats are a match made in country heaven! A braid keeps your hair neat under your hat and looks great when you take it off. A side braid or a low braid works well. To help prevent dreaded hat hair, make sure your hair is completely dry before putting on your hat, and try not to wear it too tightly.
4. Voluminous Curls
When we talk about “big hair” at a country concert, voluminous curls come to mind! This look is all about height and body. Use large rollers or a big barrel curling iron to create loose, bouncy curls. A volumizing mousse applied to the roots before styling can help give you that lasting lift without making your hair feel stiff.
3. Braids with Volume
Combine the best of both worlds by adding volume to your braids! You can backcomb the roots before braiding for lift at the crown. Or, after you’ve braided, gently pull on sections of the braid to make it look thicker and fuller. A texturizing spray can also help add grip and volume to the hair before you start braiding.
2. Braids with Accessories
Adding accessories directly into your braids is a beautiful way to personalize your look. You could weave in some colorful ribbon, add small flowers, or even thread through some metallic string. Secure the accessories carefully within the braid as you go to make sure they stay in place while you’re enjoying the music.
1. The Ultimate Country Braid
Alright, for the top spot, I’m going with a big, slightly messy, side-swept braid with some added volume and a touch of sparkle. This style truly embodies Boots, Braids & Big Hair! Start by creating volume at your roots with some backcombing and texturizing spray. Then, gather your hair to one side and create a loose, full braid – a fishtail or a chunky three-strand works perfectly. Gently pull on the edges of the braid to make it even bigger and messier. Finally, add some subtle sparkle with clip-in rhinestones or a few glitter strands woven into the braid. This look is comfortable, stays put, and looks absolutely stunning under the concert lights!
