For tighter, truer curls (as opposed to waves), you’ll follow a similar process to the above, but with a smaller wand (the tutorial below uses 25mm for the bottom layers of hair and 19mm wand for the top layers).
Do The Same Thing With The Left Part Of Your Hair.
Four to six weeks before your wedding, get a hair trim. With medium length hair that is not thick enough, you may lack body which eventually tells on the bun’s size. This is a deceptively easy wedding guest hairstyle.
Tease The Front Of Your Hair To Create Some Volume And Texture.
Make sure all grays are covered. Fishtail braids, french braids, waterfall braids, milkmaid braids and feather braids are just some of the ideas for simple braided hairstyles for weddings. Have your stylist gather your hair into a ponytail, then determine what you are going to do with the rest of your hair—you can straighten or curl it.
First, Curl Your Hair To Have Some Loose And Natural Waves.
If you straighten or curl your hair professionally, do this at least one month before the wedding so your hair has time to relax. You get your hair done up, then you go out to dinner. If you’re an everyday ponytail kinda girl, we love this small switch up that makes the pony just a little more elegant.
With Your Hands Wrapped Around The Base Of The Ponytail, Use Your Two Pointer Fingers To Create A Hole Above The Elastic.
Volume powder is a must when backcombing the hair. Apply a flexible hold hairspray liberally through the hair for support to the waves. Photo by kimonas photography via bridal musings.
