2. Loose Waves with a Half-Up Twist
Why It Works: In its natural form, loose waves have a laid back and free-spirited feel; on the other hand, the half-up twist is a little more formal. This hair style makes you look chic yet simple all at the same time.
How to Achieve It:
- Using a large–barrel curling iron, curl the hair lightly.
- Now take two small portions from the front and twirl it for the back then pin it at the crown.
- The rest of the hair should be combed and allowed to fall freely in loose curls.
Best for: Perfect for beach or other outdoor weddings if that is desired for those bridesmaids who wish to go for that natural look.
3. Braided Crown
Why It Works: The braided crown is a ultra feminine style that can fit into any wedding theme. Also, it is superb for bridesmaids who will want to have their hairs away from their necks but at the same time they are feeling the heat, the dress will just be perfect for them.
How to Achieve It:
- With the U-brush starting from the nape, partition the hair in the middle.
- Make two tracks with the candy on the right and left parts of the hair on the head.
- Leave the braids on the top of the head. Bun all the loose hair together, bring it on top of head and secure it using a hairpin.
- This will at least give some extra bulk so tug at the braids, then load up on hairspray to set it all into place.
Best for: weddings with a little rough style elements that make it look natural and magical.
4. Sleek High Ponytail
Why It Works: Basically, you have a modern hairstyle that is really stylish and has been worn by many celebrities. Further, it’s practically elegant and can be worn in a formal or informal setting. This gown is especially suitable for bridesmaids that do not want their dress to look too intricate but still desire to make a confident statement.
How to Achieve It:
- Smooth out the hair using a flat metallic comb, then iron for a shiny look.
- Comb the hair into a ponytail at the top of the head; try to make it as flat as possible.
- Simplify the hair with a hair tie and cover the base of the ponytail with a small portion of the hair.
Best for: weddings of today or brides who do not want an excessive amount of makeup on them.
5. Boho Fishtail Braid
Why It Works: On it own it emits a playful tone that any bridesmaid will fancy. This style is elegant and complex but very doable and perfect for boho or rustic themed weddings.
How to Achieve It:
- Having parted the hair into two separate sections, divide it into two sections.
- Start at the outer circumference of the sections and twist in one section and transfer it to the other section.
- Keep going this way, throwing strands back and forth until you reach the end, then gather the strands and tie them with a rubber band.
- The instructions also indicate that you pull on the braid to make it even looser if you would like an even more woolly appearance.
Best for: outdoor wedding, as it implies natural location, garden theme or bridesmaids who wish a loose but complex hairdo.
6. Low Textured Bun with Loose Strands
Why It Works: Side-swept low loose strands with some texture on the top of the hair tied in a bun suit best and look very romantically beautiful. It is a minimalist design that is neither too harsh nor overly fancy and can suit rustic and sophisticated weddings equally well.
How to Achieve It:
- Use lightly curling the hair to give it body and texture.
- Put the hair into a low ponytail and free some hair near the face part.
- You should pin the bun and then it to give the volume effect as shown below once done.
- Let some hair strands fall if the idea is to gain a natural and free-flowing hairstyle.
Best for: brides who like to go vintage or have a classic-themed wedding, or bridesmaids who don’t mind their hairstyle being slightly messy.
7. Hollywood Glam Waves
Why It Works: Bring old Hollywood spirit back with spectacular big bouncy waves. Loving this look because it is big and shiny; this would be ideal for a more evening or stuffy wedding or reception.
How to Achieve It:
- To do this, you can use hot rollers or a curling iron to get big hair and bounce at the crown of the head.
- Carefully shake out the curls to give a softer wave-like texture.
- Applying a shine serum can help give the hair the shiny look it needs and pulling one side back behind the ear makes it look that much more dramatic.
Best for: Glamorous bridesmaid dress or any bride attending a black tie wedding.
8. Messy Top Knot
Why It Works: The messy top knot: is very pretty and playful so you can keep it as you are, but it is chic as well. This style is perfect for today’s bridesmaids who do not want anything fancy but still classy.
How to Achieve It:
- Put the hair on top of the head and gather it into a ponytail at the top of the head.
- As the final step, gather the ponytail and wind it around into a bun and use bobby pin to hold the ponytail in place.
- Loosen the hair at the back slightly and gather it into a ponytail to set it at the nape of the neck, thereby creating a rather ‘funky’ looking bun.
- To finish the look use a texturizing spray that will give volume and hold to your hair.
Best for: Informal bridesmaid weddings for ladies who do not plan far in advance.
9. Twisted Low Bun with Accessories
Why It Works: Some variations applicable to low buns can make an ordinary hairstyle look posh. With a jeweled hair accessory or flowers, this appears very soft classed anyway and at the same time so special.
How to Achieve It:
- Half up on the crown and do two twists at the sides.
- Pull all the twists together into a low bun at the end of the hair line at the nape of the neck.
- This part of the hair is secured using pins and then the accessory of your choice for instance a floral clip or jeweled comb is then fixed at the zip area.
Best for: For young bridesmaids who like tradition and love, romantic weddings that can be easily incorporated into the bride’s maiden name as well.
10. Soft Half-Updo with Curls
Why It Works: The soft half-updo can create both support and movement; it’s the best of both worlds with a styled, formed upper section and loose curls on the bottom half.
How to Achieve It:
- To have bouncy curl on the hair, curl the hair with a medium-barrel iron.
- Now, gather the hair in a small section at the back of the head and bring it up to the crown area, then you twist it and pin it.
- Let the rest of the hair fall on the back shoulders which will give a nice touch of femininity.
Best for: Bridesmaids who wish to flaunt curls but need the type of hairstyle that is not incredibly loose or messy.
