In recent seasons, music festivals have done much more than inspire auditory musings. With a major exploration into the fashion and beauty industry, they have become quite the ground for creating new trends. As we scroll through our Instagram and Snapchat stories we can’t help but pick up on the colour, sights, sounds and fashion from bloggers and festivalgoers alike. This season we noticed an emphasis on hair colour – from the likes of Dove Cameron with her baby-pink hue to Kylie Jenner with her many shades of the rainbow. Festivals have officially transcended boundaries and made their own culture – bringing beauty along for the ride.
