Long Braids with Colorful Ribbons

Want to add a touch of carnival to your everyday life? Long braids with colorful ribbons are not only a true classic among carnival hairstyles, but they also bring cheerful colors to your hair! Ideal for ladies with a penchant for playful hairstyles. Start with neatly parted hair and braid two long braids. Weave in colorful ribbons – anything from baker's twine to satin is allowed. The more vibrant the colors, the more exuberant the mood. Additionally, the ribbons protect your hair structure as they distribute the pressure during braiding and thus prevent hair breakage. Feel free to add some wooden beads to give it a personal touch. Secure ribbons and braids with clear hair ties to keep the look natural. This way, you'll give your appearance a carnival flair that is sure to boost your mood!

Crown of Curls with Flowers and Ribbons

Imagine stepping into the carnival with all eyes on your enchanting crown of curls, magically adorned with colorful flowers and ribbons. Need some care tips? Prep your mane with a moisturizing curl booster so that each curl remains perfectly defined and elastic. Now here's the twist: In collaboration with our regional florist "Blütezeit," we've created ribbons adorned with dried flowers that enchant not only during the festive activities but also serve as keepsakes afterward. Have a custom ribbon made to match your look by MAICA Modehaus, and you'll turn heads with a style that reflects both historic elegance and modern flair. Did you know that even during Maria Theresa's era, great importance was placed on magnificent hair arrangements with lace, feathers, and gemstones? Bring a piece of this opulent aesthetic into your carnival experience.

Wild Curly Hairstyle with a Headband

Ready for the carnival? Spruce up your wild curly mane with a headband and make it the absolute highlight of the season. With this easy-to-maintain hairstyle, your creativity knows no bounds—whether you opt for the charm of vintage lovers or choose a Blair Waldorf style, you're in for some fun. Use the Cerion Curl for bouncy curls and set your masterpiece with a little discostar Classic Lac to ensure everything stays in place even during the wildest dancing. The headband not only tames your hair, but it also adds that special carnival flair to your appearance. So, what are you waiting for? Rock the party with your new, stunning look!

Elegant Bun with Feather Accessories

An elegant bun instantly gives you a graceful aura, making it perfect for the colorful carnival season. The classic hair knot becomes a real eye-catcher with feather accessories and softens the severity of even the strictest bun. A tip for extra volume: If your own hair lacks the necessary fullness, you can turn to high-quality hairpieces. Feathers in bright colors or soft pastels add highlights and make your hairstyle unique. So grab the feather accessories and dance your way into the hearts of the revelers with your glamorous bun!

Unique Updo with Accessories

Make your carnival hairstyle the ultimate eye-catcher with an extraordinary updo and accessories! Create a charming masterpiece on your head with skillful finger techniques and a few hairpins – a stylish bun or a creative French twist. Add accents with some striking weave extensions or a braided hairband from Verlocke for extra volume and richness in detail. Play with colors and complete the perfection with glitter stones, colorful feathers, or a floral hairband. The carnival night belongs to you and your dreamy hairstyle – a feast for the eyes!

Hair Preparation and Protection for Carnival Hairstyles

Before diving into the vibrant festivities of the carnival, thorough hair preparation is essential to protect your mane. Start with a nourishing shampoo and a good conditioner to strengthen your hair and help it endure the strains of styling. A heat protection spray is indispensable if you plan to use flat irons or curling irons. Additionally, use products with extra strong hold to ensure your hairstyle withstands all the dancing and parades. And don't forget: your scalp also appreciates protection! Apply a nourishing serum as needed to prevent dryness. This way, your hair will remain beautiful and healthy even after the carnival.

Creative Ideas for Temporary Hair Changes for Carnival

To make your look unforgettable for Carnival, there are many temporary options to change your hair color and texture without risking permanent damage. Hair chalk and colored hair sprays offer you a palette of colors that can be easily washed out after the festivities. Hair dyes that fade after a few washes are also an option for a short-term but striking change. If you don't want to dye your hair, try hair extensions or braids in vibrant colors. With a theatrical hairpiece or wig, you can completely transform your style without stressing your own hair. Dare to try something new and be the center of attention at the carnival celebration!

Hair Care After the Carnival Styling Marathon

After all the partying and extravagant hairstyles, it's important to give your hair some rest and recovery. Start with a deep cleanse to thoroughly rinse out all the styling products and residues. Then, an intensive hair treatment or a rich hair mask is recommended to restore lost moisture and care for the hair structure. Let your hair air dry and avoid heat styling for a few days to prevent further damage. Additionally, pamper your hair with an oil or leave-in conditioner to regain shine and smoothness. With these tips, your hair will stay healthy and you'll be ready for your daily routine—until the next carnival!
