With the onslaught {a very happy onslaught} of music festivals that rock Southern California throughout the spring and summer, I found myself searching for a hairstyle that matched the free-spirited mood of these shows. The look had to make an impact and take less than a few minutes {because who wants to spend time doing their hair when they could be rocking out?}. I couldn’t find anything that I loved, so I created a hairstyle to fit the bill. Anyone can pull this off {even without a mirror}. Give it a shot, flower child {or rock goddess.. or whatever you choose to be}.

One thing that I thought was adorable {bonus points: it’s quick and easy!} was her Bow Bun. Check out the photo tutorial and video below.
