The bridesmaids hairstyles are often one of the very last things that brides-to-be think of when taking care of the countless details needed to plan their upcoming weddings.
On top of this, it’s highly unlikely that every bridesmaid will have the same length, type, and cut of hair. So it’s most wise to study the many types of wedding hairstyles possible in order to make your job a bit easier.
Start by dividing the hairstyles you like into three categories, one for the up-dos, one for short hair and the last for medium to longer hair.
Up-dos are perhaps the most commonly worn of all the bridesmaid hairstyles today, probably because they’re pretty yet simple to do and maintain.
The French twist is a rather popular type of up-do thanks to its beauty, timeless appeal, and also because it’s easily tweaked to take on a variety of different looks from the simple and understated to the romantic and elegant.
Medium to long hair are best for French twists, which are done by pulling all of the hair from the back, twisting it inward in a knot-like formation, and then securing with pins. Some shorter hairstyles can be made into a French twist, although it will largely depend on the cut of the hair.
The variations possible for the French twist are indeed numerous as embellishments can be used as well as different types of twists depending on the cut and type of hair.
When making a French twist or similar type of up-do, the bangs can be left as is, curled, or pulled back into the twist if they’re long enough. Soft curls are used in bridesmaid hairstyles for a romantic or glamorous look and pin curls are a simple way of achieving both.
For those bridesmaids with shorter hair, the front or top of the hair could be styled to match those with longer locks, or adversely, those with longer hair could pull theirs into an up-do to mimic those with shorter styles.
Bouncy, flowing curls for those with medium to long hair will always be popular for wedding hairstyles as they work well with formal and casual affairs as well as everything in between.
Hot rollers, pin curls, or a curling iron can all be used to create bouncy, springy curls, but the hair should not be brushed out when styling and instead fluffed lightly with the fingers before setting with some type of spray.
With curled hair, the possibilities are near endless when it comes to creating beautiful bridesmaid hairstyles that will be the finishing touch to an already perfect day.
