More luxe louche than grunge girl, the bohemian beauty opts for long, loose curls, effortlessly tousled texture and artfully undone elegance.

Warren Holmes, Nicky Clarke, London, says: "The rigours of Summer festivals create wonderful texture in the hair that you can really work with. Hair feels lived-in, and the combined elements of oily, dirty hair and dry shampoo add fantastic texture. What is required is an effortlessly chic style that can be maintained fuss-free."

Warren identifies three key looks that bohemian beauties can go for this Summer: low ponytails with volume around the crown; simple knotted buns at the nape of the neck and kitsch 50s-style bandanas to cover dirty roots.

To prep for festival season, Warren advises: "The night before they go, clients should give their hair a wash and use an intense moisturising conditioner. Add a foundation product like a strong-hold mousse, dry the hair and tong so it has movement and shape that lasts the weekend."
