How to Get Parade-Worthy Mardi Gras Hair
You don't typically think of hair when you think about Mardi Gras. Custom costumes, bejeweled masks, extravagant parades, endless liquor, and long nights have made the festival one of the country's most beloved and appreciated events. But if you ask some seasoned Mardi Gras patrons, the hairstyles play just as much of an important role.
For those planning to attend their first Mardi Gras or make an appearance at your local Nola bar, you’ll want to dress the part and bust out all your purple, gold, and green carnival swag. Representing Justice, Faith, and Power, these three colors are the heart and soul of Mardi Gras.
