Matching accessories to dress up
The Wiesn is colourful. That's why everything that matches the rest of the Oktoberfest outfit is allowed in the hair accessories. Flowers in all variations are particularly popular. These can be individual flowers that are stuck into the hair, but also flower hair bands that can either be worked into the open hair or into the finished hairstyle. The rule here is: less is more. By the way, the perfect accessory for those who either don't have the time or don't feel like doing their hair is the traditional hat. It's a lifesaver for bad hair days. It comes with feathers, bows, plain, chequered and in all colours. But when buying a traditional hat, make sure you get one that really looks like Oktoberfest and not carnival.
Wiesn tent, 8 p.m., 30 degrees: The Dirndl hairstyle holds up
A Dirndl hairstyle has to put up with a lot. Wind, weather, rides and then all the dancing, plus high humidity and heat in the tent. So don't skimp on hairpins and clips for updos. It's important to find the right balance between the threat of a headache from having your hair pinned up too tightly and losing it. Hairspray, not too little, provides additional hold for all hairstyles. If your (loose) hair starts to go down after a few hours but you're still in the mood to party, here are a few first aid tips. If your mane is hanging flat, volumising powder can help. It freshens up and gives your hair volume back. Simply rub a small amount of it into your hands and massage it into the areas where you want more volume.This way, the hair is guaranteed not to lose its bounce even when dancing to the 12th Wiesn-Hit!
