Bridal Hairstyles
Summer is prime wedding season. Between the heat and humidity, it can also be one of the worst times of the year for hair! Check out these ideas for summer wedding hairstyles to keep you looking your best all day long.In general, the prettiest styles for hair in the summer months are those which are unfussy and not too contrived. Very elaborate and formal hairdos simply don’t fit in with the relaxed vibe of summer, especially at an outdoor wedding. On the other hand, throwing your hair up in a ponytail to keep it off your neck like many of us do on a typical steamy August afternoon does not exactly cut it for a wedding. The answer lies somewhere in between, neither too formal nor too sloppy.
Brides with curly hair may have problems with it turning frizzy on a humid day. To combat this, your best bet is to use de-frizzing styling products before your hair is arranged. The key is to work with the nature of your hair, rather than trying to force it into a style for which your hair was never intended. A soft updo tamed with an anti-frizz serum with a few loose pieces near the face is ideal for a summer bride. By working with your hair rather than against it, you can achieve a style with staying power. Add some elegance with pretty bridal hair jewelry such as a scattering of hairpins.
Even brides whose hair is normally smooth and well-behaved may have trouble with it on a hot day. The humidity can turn smooth silky tresses into a limp mess. Rather than leaving your hair down, choose a style which will get it up off of your neck. A low bun is chic and pretty, and looks wonderful with this season’s most popular type of bridal hair jewelry, the slim headband. Choose a headband which is jeweled with crystals or pearls to match the rest of your bridal jewelry.
Summer is a time for ponytails, and if done right, this can be a great style for a bride. The basic pony that you pull your hair into as you run out the door to the gym is not what we are talking about here; a special occasion ponytail is very smooth and flawless, and should be done by a professional. Most of the time, the crown of the hair will be backcombed before the tresses are smoothed over the top with a light pomade for a perfectly sleek look which also has a touch of lift off the crown. The ponytail itself should also be smooth as silk to give it the appearance of elegance. Cover the elastic band by wrapping a small section of your hair around it. A fresh flower or a small spray of white feathers will be the perfect hair ornament.
An excellent bridal hairstyle for any hair type is a braid. Braids have been making a comeback lately, and they are a terrific way to keep summer hair looking pretty and under control. Best of all, braids can be created to work with the natural texture of the bride’s hair. Smooth hair can be plaited into a low sleek braid or curly hair can be more loosely woven. A variation on this is to create several small braids which are then twisted into a low bun. It is a classic hairdo which will be able to withstand any type of summer weather beautifully.
A hair stylist with a hundred pins in her mouth; bridesmaids in various stages of having their hair styled running around the house, the bride lost in one corner and then finally emerging to a round of oohs and aahs looking resplendent in a lovely gown, complimented by an even lovelier hairstyle – a normal scene before any wedding. There are a variety of options you can use for bridal hairstyles for your wedding in Dallas.
1. Upsweep: One of the most common ways to style your wedding hair is to choose an upsweep of hair. While this particular hairstyle can refer to a variety of different styles, for our purposes, it is the simple upsweeping of hair at the base of the neck. This is a very elegant style in its simplicity and grace, and can be accented with either delicate or demonstrative hair combs. Moreover, it can be as loose or tight as you prefer.
2. Down: Though often overlooked as a style, wearing your short to long hair down can prove quite elegant, despite the informality usually attached to it. There are a variety of things a woman can do with her hair if left down-curled, waved, or left straight. Whichever you choose, make sure your hair is well groomed so that the beauty of your hair can be accentuated while down.
3. Half up: Half up is another popular choice for brides to be, as it shows off the face, while leaving some hair down for femininity. Your hair can be swept from both sides evenly and secured with a barrette or other decorative bauble, or affixed on the side of your head. In either event, it is a beautiful way to combine two different hairstyles in one delicate wedding hairstyle..
4. Braided: Whether you choose one simple braid, a French braid, or still smaller braids entwined in your hair-all of them are elegant choices for a wedding day hairstyle.
5. Bun: Though seemingly simple, a bun at the nape of your neck or back of your head can add a beautiful and sophisticated elegance to any type of gown and jewelry you choose, and makes for an easy to maintain wedding hairstyle.
6. French Twist: A fresh twist is a bit dressier than a bun and less simple, but still demonstrates a simple classic hairstyle for any wedding day.
7. Curled: Perhaps you would like to add curls to your hair or define the ones you already have. Whichever you choose, soft wavy curls can add a romantic look to any wedding gown and bride.
8. Straight: If you are looking for a sleeker look-and you have curly hair, you should try the sophisticated elegance of straightening your hair.
9. Ringlets: A very popular choice for many brides-whether they opt to wear their hair up or down, if they have short or long hair is to have ringlets put in. As long as the ringlets are soft and not tight, the look is very romantic and old fashioned.
10. Beading: Once you have decided upon the style for your wedding day hair, you may want to consider beading to intersperse and accent it.
11. Ribbons/headbands: Another option for both formal and more informal looks are weaving and tying ribbons and headbands into your hair for a subtle accent.
12. Flowers: Many brides choose to accent their upsweeps and half up hairstyles with both real and faux flowers. The flowers add a romantic and earthy accent to any wedding gown, and are suited best to outdoor weddings that are less formal..
