Our Favorite Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair
1. Chignon
This timeless low bun exudes quiet luxury. To create this hairstyle, start by sectioning off hair from each side of your face and securing it with clips. Gather the remaining hair into a low ponytail and tease it gently for added volume. Next, roll the ponytail inward to form a bun and secure it with bobby pins.
Now, release the clipped sections of hair from each side of your face, twist them towards the back, and wrap them around the base of your bun.
2. Low Ponytail With Tendrils
Create a simple yet elegant look with a low ponytail. Opt for sleek, straight hair for a modern and chic appearance, or add soft waves to infuse a touch of romance. To soften your overall look, loosen some strands around your face.
Editor’s tip: Keep frizz under control to nail any wedding hairstyle. Wash your hair with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth KERA10 Shampoo, which has KERA10 Protein Complex that goes up to 10 layers deep into your hair to nourish it. This shampoo gives your hair 10 salon benefits in one wash. It has an anti-frizz and anti-humidity formulation to help keep your hairstyle on point. It also makes your hair smooth and soft, adds shine, detangles, tames flyaways, strengthens your hair, provides heat protection, and leaves a long-lasting fragrance.
Pair TRESemmé Keratin Smooth KERA10 Shampoo with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth KERA10 Serum Conditioner for best results. This conditioner has KERA10 Protein Complex and oleo serum to moisturize and nourish your hair deeply.
3. French Twist
Sleek, polished, and effortlessly chic, the French twist won’t disappoint. Begin this wedding hairstyle by twisting your hair upward from your nape. Then, tuck the ends of your hair inside the twist, secure your hairstyle with bobby pins, and smooth out loose strands with hairspray.
4. Waterfall Braid
Create a whimsical bridal look with a waterfall braid. Begin by making soft waves with a curling iron. Then, take a small section of hair from one side. Braid it from your hairline toward the back of your head, leaving strands dangling and adding new ones to the braid as you go along to create a waterfall effect.
Continue braiding until you reach the other side of your head and finish with a regular three-strand braid. Secure the ends with an elastic and spritz hairspray for a neat finish.
5. Headband Braid
This easy braid for women allows you to showcase your long locks while keeping strands off your face. A headband braid typically runs from the left to the right side of your head, but you can simplify it by braiding just one side.
Editor’s tip: Tight hairstyles like braids and buns can make your hair brittle and prone to breakage. If you’re into these looks, use Cream Silk Triple Keratin Rescue Ultimate Hair Fall Defiance Ultra Conditioner regularly. This conditioner has revolutionary fiber actives that help strengthen your strands to reduce hair fall due to breakage.
6. Romantic Half Updo
If braids aren’t your thing, opt for twists instead! Simply twist sections on the left and right sides of your hair and secure them at the back with an elastic. To add flair, wrap a small section of hair around the elastic to conceal it. Complete your half updo by embellishing it with baby’s breath for a delicate finish.
7. Ponytail With a Ribbon
Another way to elevate a simple ponytail is by tying a ribbon around its base. This hair accessory gives your wedding hairstyle an old-world charm and creates a timeless look.
8. Half-Up Boho Braid
Do you love bohemian looks? Pick the half-up boho braid as your wedding hairstyle. It combines the carefree vibe of the boho-chic style and the elegance of a bridal look. It also fits a variety of themes, from summer garden weddings to rustic-inspired celebrations.
9. Curly Blowout
Long waves and curls let you exude a laid-back vibe without sacrificing style. You can achieve these chic waves using a curling iron or a blow-dryer. Enhance your hairstyle with a sparkly hair clip for added elegance.
10. Curly Side Ponytail
Switch from an intricate updo during the ceremony to a relaxed yet polished curly side ponytail for the reception. The curls add glamour, while the side-swept style accentuates facial features, creating a romantic look.
Which of these wedding hairstyles for long hair do you like best? Whether you prefer a classic updo, loose curls, or romantic braids, there’s a hairstyle that will make you look and feel your best on your special day. Now, get ready to walk down the aisle and say “I do” in style.
