When styling long hair for a wedding, there are a couple of ways to wear the hair. That is entirely down and straight, entirely down and curly, straightened and worn entirely up, curly and worn entirely up, and worn half up and half down either partially curly or entirely curly. The hair can also be braided or french braided either in one braid or several interlocking braids, and pinned entirely up.There are also embellishments that can be a part of the hairstyle which can be woven into braids and curls such as rhinestones, rhinestone pins, pins with silk flowers, pins with flowers made of beads, real flowers, silk butterflies, and feathers. Listed are four hairstyles that are easy to create and wearable on your wedding day.
If you are looking for a hairstyle that is entirely pinned back, tight, and polished looking, you may want to go for an up do that boasts large curls toward the top of your head. This hairstyle is to be done starting with straight hair. It is great for naturally straight haired women, and if you have curly hair, straighten the hair first before creating this style. First, create some texture in the hair by running a bit of pomade through the roots. With a comb, divide the hair into three sections, which would be the hair in the front top portion of the head, a middle layer, and a bottom layer of hair near the nape of the neck. First pull back the front section and secure it with a tight rubber band for the hair. Make sure all of the hair that is pulled back is smooth and there are no stray hairs. Next, pull back the middle section securing the rubber band just under the first pony tail. Last, pull back the bottom section so that the three pony tails are all in a row. Start making your first curl by separating an inch wide section with a fine tooth comb. Spray a bit of hair spray through the section and comb it through. Using a wide barrel curling iron, you will be curing these sections in each pony tail. After each piece is curled, pin it back to the scalp with bobby pins creating a wide and sturdy curl. Spray each curl with hairspray to make sure it is secure. Use your creativity to pin these curls around each other in an appealing and sculptural fashion. Make sure that when the hair is finally curled that it is hiding all of the rubber bands and pins that are securing the style underneath.
A variation of this style is to use a smaller barrel curling iron to create tighter curls to mix in with the larger curls. You will create the larger curls and pin them entirely back hiding the ends of the hair. However, also include smaller sections of hair, about a half inch wide, curl them with a smaller curling iron, and pin them up so that they dangle loosely amongst the larger curls. This will create a style that is not as tight as the previous style and it will add a softer appeal with more variety.
You can also include rhinestone pins in this type of style, or pins with jeweled flowers atop the pins. Once the hairstyle is secure and sprayed, stick these pins into the curls and disperse them evenly.
Another way to change this hairstyle is to use a jeweled tiara. Make sure that the styled hair is up farther atop the head. The tiara will rest around the top curved portion of the style.
