Coachella 2022 is bursting with trendy beauty looks [2], from mismatched manicures to cool graphic eyeliner moments [3], but there's one hairstyle trend [4] that practically everyone is wearing: baby braids. This Y2K-inspired [5] hair look started gaining popularity in the last year and has since gathered a long list of celebrity fans.
Hailey Bieber [6], Kendall Jenner [7], Sophia Culpo, and many more rocked the braided hairstyle at Coachella, and each of them put their own spin on the look. Celebrity hairstylist Irinel de León [8] gave Bieber four baby braids throughout her entire head; hairstylist Ayano Jinnouchi [9] dressed up actor Maria Bakalova's face-framing pieces with blue elastics and gold rings braided into the plaits; and stylist Caylee Jolene [10] accessorised influencer Madison Grace's hair look with butterfly clips for an extra touch of nostalgia.
There's a number of reasons why this hairstyle would be the go-to choice for the biggest music festival of the year. The face-framing pigtail braids are easy to do at home and leave plenty of room for customization through colourful elastics, hair clips, and hair dye.
