You can finally retire your flower crowns, because sky’s the limit.

There are a couple of things we look forward to during spring/summer festival season: our very own ESSENCE Fest, the stage performances and street style.  When we’re not enthralled by our favorite artists, we’re enamored by a parade of eccentric outfits, body art and fly hairstyles.

And with the major come back of hair accessories, this year’s mane moments are going to be lit! You can finally retire your flower crowns, because sky’s the limit, thanks to the latest hair trends.

Glitter, hair rings and temporary color are popular this spring, and there’s so many ways to incorporate these trends into your festival looks. Whether you’re rocking braids, curls or an edgy undercut, they're perfect for taking your hairstyle to the next level.

Subscribe to our daily newsletter for the latest in hair, beauty, style and celebrity news.

For inspiration, check out these dope dos we spotted on Instagram in the gallery below.
