Especially during Oktoberfest season, Dirndl hairstyles enjoy great popularity. However, even outside of Oktoberfest, there are many occasions where a matching hairstyle for a Dirndl is needed. In this article, we present some great ideas for the most beautiful hairstyles to complement your Dirndl.

The Classic Updo

One of the most well-known and frequently worn hairstyles for a Dirndl is the classic updo. The hair is tied up into a bun or knot at the crown, while the remaining hair is either left loose or styled into a braided hairstyle. This hairstyle pairs particularly well with traditional, high-necked Dirndls and adds an elegant touch to the overall look.

The Side Braid

Another popular Dirndl hairstyle is the side braid. The hair is braided to one side and secured at the shoulder or nape of the neck. This hairstyle works particularly well with modern, shorter Dirndls and gives the look a romantic touch.

The Braided Crown

A braided crown is an elegant and very romantic hairstyle. Feminine and slightly playful, it is perfect for a folk festival. There are various ways to create a braided crown, from simple braids to more elaborate braiding techniques. With a bit of practice and patience, you can achieve a stunning braided crown that perfectly reflects your personality and style.

The Half-Up Bun

The Half-Up Bun is a great hairstyle for those who prefer an effortless look. The top section of the hair is tied into a bun at the back of the head, while the rest remains loose. This hairstyle pairs especially well with modern, low-cut Dirndls and adds a youthful touch to your Trachten outfit.

Dirndl Hairstyles Under a Hat

Finding a hairstyle that still looks great under a hat can be a challenge. Fortunately, there are many ways to style your hair beautifully beneath your hat:

1. The Messy Bun is a perfect hairstyle for a relaxed look under a hat. Simply tie your hair into a loose bun, pull out a few strands, and secure the look with hairspray.

2. The Ponytail is another quick and easy hairstyle under a hat. Just tie your hair into a ponytail at the back of your head and secure it with a hair tie and hairspray. A side ponytail can also add a trendy touch to the look.

3. The Braided Crown is an elegant hairstyle under a hat that pairs well with fedora or wide-brimmed hats. Braid two side braids, wrap them around your head, and tuck the ends under the hat. Secure them with hairpins and finish with hairspray.

4. The Curly Look is a popular hat hairstyle for long, flowing hair. Simply curl your hair using rollers or a curling iron, apply hairspray, and put on your hat. This look works well with a vintage or boho aesthetic.

Dirndl Hairstyles for Short Hair

Short-haired individuals don’t have to miss out on the perfect Dirndl hairstyle. A short pixie cut or bob pairs beautifully with a high-neck Dirndl, giving the look a modern twist. If you have slightly longer hair and want to incorporate braids, try braiding a single strand on the side and accessorizing it with matching hair jewelry. Alternatively, create a braided headband from two strands: section off two small strands from the front of your head, braid them, and tie them together at the back. The remaining locks can be styled into romantic waves with a curling iron—your perfect Dirndl hairstyle is ready!

As you can see, there are many beautiful hairstyles that perfectly complement a Dirndl. From classic updos and romantic flower crowns to modern half-up buns, there is something for every taste and occasion. The most important thing is that the hairstyle matches your Dirndl and personal style while harmonizing with your Trachten outfit.
