These gorgeous big waves can be worn to any engagement party, low-key or super formal. The key to bombshell waves? Using a large barrel curling iron turned horizontally. Instead of getting tight ringlets, you’ll get looser waves. For even looser waves, let your hair cool down and for curlier waves, cool them in velcro rollers.

 

2. Mini Bouffant Half-Updo

For an even simpler style that looks totally chic, try out a simple ponytail. Start by straightening your hair so you’ll have straight, shiny hair to work with. Then, brush your hair back and tie it into a ponytail. If you get flyaways, try using a boar bristle brush! They tend to catch all the little hairs and help to give your hair a smooth finish for the perfect engagement party hair.
