This hairstyle, also known as a hair wreath, was particularly known among German women as the traditional Oktoberfest hairstyle. This elegant dirndl hairstyle looks best with medium to long hair. Women with short hair can utilize extensions, which come pre-braided to achieve the look. These are clipped in and braided to give the appearance of natural hair. For a quick effect, use braided hairbands.
