Find A Hairstyle For A Bride

Hair that has been washed the day before will hold an updo better than freshly washed hair.

Choosing the right hairstyle for a bride can be just as important as finding the right wedding dress. A bridal hairstyle should suit the brides face shape, facial features and hair type. If you are having trouble finding a suitable bridal hairstyle on your own, seek the help of a professional hairstylist, who will evaluate your hair and your personal style to help you come up with a wedding hairstyle that is tailored to you.

Instructions

1. Purchase several bridal magazines or hair magazines that feature updos. Look through the pages for bridal hairstyles that catch your eye and mark the pages for future reference.

2. Look for hairstyles that will compliment your wedding dress. For simple dresses choose a sleek updo, such as a chignon, or a have your hair blown out straight.

3. Select possible hairstyles that will work with your hair type. If you have curly hair, it's best to choose a curly hairstyle. Trying to straighten very curly hair for your wedding day, especially in areas with high humidity, could spell disaster as they day progresses and your hair turns to frizz. For those with straight hair, if you choose to wear it curly, set the hair with a strong setting lotion and Velcro or hot rollers for longevity.

4. Pick a hairstyle that reflects your personal style. If your everyday look is generally casual, it's best to avoid a fussy and intricate updo for your wedding. Alternately, if your hairstyle is usually perfectly styled a simple ponytail might not reflect your style. Your wedding hairstyle should be a more polished version of you, not something completely removed from who you are.

5. Find a bridal hairstyle that will work with your veil or headpiece, if you are wearing one. Larger headpieces work best with curly bridal hairstyles, as it is easier to secure the headpiece with bobby pins to curly hair and it is easier to hide the bobby pins within the curls.

6. Add glitter to a short bridal hairstyle by pinning jeweled barrettes or bobby pins in the hair. Jeweled or beaded headbands also work well with short bridal hairstyles.
