Burning Man Hair and Makeup

The makeup and hair at Burning Man is just as outrageous as the fashion. Metallic and brightly-colored eyeshadows and liners are popular, as well as neon or metallic body/face paint. As for hair, feathers are huge, as are elaborate braids, dreads, and twists. However, the one look I really love is the warrior princess ponytail (check out the look here).

To get a warrior princess ponytail:

1. Apply a de-frizzing serum to wet hair and blow dry straight with a large paddle brush.

2. Pull hair tight at the top of your head, leaving one thick piece at the base free. Secure in a high ponytail with an elastic.

3. Wrap the loose lock of hair around the base of the ponytail and secure the end with a bobby pin.

4. Brush a firm hold hairspray over fly-aways. Apply flat iron to ends of hair for an extra-straight look.
