Stunning and Easy Bridal Hairstyles

1. Fun with Braids

An attractive look for long-haired brides, braids are a fantastic way to showcase a classic and feminine style through many variations. This could include the fishtail, French braid, waterfall braid, side braid or sleek braid. Another option is to create a crown braid that serves as a chic headband, that entails you braiding hair at the hairline and crown, following the pattern of your part and finally securing on the side opposite where you started for an incredible look. Finish off with some light hairspray to maximize its hold and to make it last till after the reception. You can also vary the standard braid by creating braided buns or half-up styles, depending on your preferences. Bonus: Once this look is created, you will barely need any maintenance throughout the entire ceremony.

2. Low-Slung Braided Bun

Another hairstyle that looks perfectly put-together is the low-slung braid bun. A variation on the regular chignon, this variation gives depth and personality to hair via a signature braided look that’s hung low, with wispy pieces of hair loosely escaping and softening the frame. The woven style also creates a romantic feel that can be enhanced with accessories or small hair jewels.

3. Stylish Bouffant

For a vintage look, we adore the puffed out bouffant bun. A take on hair from the ’50s, the bouffant bun creates volume in the front of your head that is controlled with a loose bun or ponytail, much like a beehive hairdo. To achieve a signature bouffant look, blow-dry your hair using a round brush on the underside of your strands. As you blow-dry your hair upwards, spray the pouf with some hairspray to keep it intact. Try Dove Style + Care Extra Hold Non-Aerosol Hairspray whose formula can add some serious hold and shine to your wedding day bouffant. Then all you have to do is pin the bouffant down with some bobby pins and work in a half-pony, pony or bun using the second-half of your hair.

4. Twisted Halo Updo

For a simple look that shines, we love the twisted halo. Great for all hair types, this look gets your hair out of your face as you create a smooth look on the crown and bottom half of your tresses. To create the look, twist each side of your hair and join the sections together to create a half pony or piece both together with a cute clip.

5. All Over Curls

For girls who love volume, creating big curls could be a great option. This style works for all hair types, and those who are naturally curly can even let their locks roam freely. Ladies with straight or wavy hair can work with their texture to create this look as well. For those that have waves or straight hair, a curling iron or rollers can help achieve the look. Be sure to protect your hair by using some of the TRESemme Get Sleek Heat Protection Spray. Enhance this look with a jeweled headband or some delicate, glittery accessories, and be sure to lock in the style by using some hairspray.

6. Side Ponytail

Another easy idea for your wedding is the side ponytail with a twist. Unlike your typical weekend hair look, this twisted side pony can be curly or super straight. Simply start by creating a slick and evenly brushed side-pony which is then refined and straightened (or curled) even more with an iron. Ed’s tip: Try out a direction that’s opposite your typical style for a quirky take on this look.

7. 1950s Waves

If curls aren’t your thing, subtle waves that feature a modernized nod to the ’50s might be up your alley. Achieving these waves starts by creating curls and volume with a curling wand. Next, lightly brush out the curls for a softer molten look. Lightly spray the curls with some hairspray and secure your hair waves with some large bobby pins. In about 20 minutes the new curls will be set, creating a smoother, more mellow wave. Check out the full hair tutorial on how to make your own ’50s waves.

8. Playful Short Curls

Short-haired gals can also have fun with their ’do on their wedding day. In addition to trying a variation on all of the styles listed above, they can create a charming look with accessories. This can be especially stunning if you have a pixie cut or a bob that you and embellish with some flowers or a beautiful headpiece. Getting creative with your short haircut is surprisingly easy and only requires some cute accessories to dress everything up. After you create your style, smooth out any frizz or flyaways by using some serum, like Dove Quench Absolute Supreme Creme Serum
