Bridal hairstyles are the kinds of formal hairstyles you could wear to special occasions like weddings and proms. They come in various shapes and styles, including upcurls, downcurls, upsmooth styles, downsmooth styles, halfup/halfdown styles, plaits and braids. A formal occasion, like a wedding or a prom, requires a hairstyle that is elegant, works with your dress and accessories, and suits your personal attributes.
Method
A qualified hairstylist needs to evaluate your hair type and texture to be sure that the desired look is achievable and durable. For most straight hair, rollers can be used to create body and make the hair more pliable. For wavy and curly hair types, rollers can help define the curls better. Smooth-looking styles require the opposite: stretching and placing hair into shapes. Allow about two hours to get your wedding hairstyle done.
Benefits
A style created correctly will not only look fabulous, but it will also be durable and fit the overall theme of the wedding and/or formal occasion. Styles that are pinned into place have a much better chance of lasting the distance too.
Beware
The three main factors that destroy bridal hairstyles are moisture, rain, and wind (wavy hair that has been made smooth can go frizzy; straight hair that has been curled can go limp).
Tips
Do some research and try on some bridal and prom hair styles from the THS library, then make an appointment with your stylist for a trial hairstyle. Bring any accesories with you, and even try the hairstyle at home with your gown.
