Will you go for somesexy textureor abombshell blowout?
We have a few ideas that will help you decide.
Consider your own style and the vibe of the wedding.
First things first, verify to choose a style different from the bride’s, saysFekkai SoHostylistLisa Epperson.
What’s the vibe?
Is it more boho or classic?
That can be the deciding factor between, say, a sleek chignon or some beachy waves.
Factor in the length of your hair.
Some bridesmaid hair that will work for superlong lengths won’t be possible on shorter hair and vice versa.
But he’s also a fan of long, flowing waves.
Epperson agrees and says that a bouncy blowout with some bends is the way to go.
On short hair, Velasquez likes a voluminous blowout or sleek deep side part.
Add an accessory.
In particular, Velasquez suggests playing with hair accessories on textured hair.
Of course, anyone can rock a cool clip, pin, or headband, though.
Jennifer Behr makes some of our favorites.
Bring inspo pics.
I always recommend clients to come with inspiration!
Slicked-Back Bun
A bun is a great bridesmaid style because it’s pretty fuss-free.
We love how this one on Hailey Bieber leaves the ends poking out for an edgier look.
It will add a smooth finish to any look.
Boho Braid
Nothing says boho like a big braid.
Add some sprigs of baby’s breath for a romantic and breezy vibe.
These relaxed curls and clip combo make a serious case for getting a cut.
Volumized Pony
The difference between this and your gym pony is all in the volume.
A curling iron, some teasing, and lots of hairspray are going to be your BFFs.
It also may help to add in some clip-in extensions for a fuller appearance.
you’re free to really play up texture while adding a touch of glam, he says.
And the loose, flowing pieces give it an effortless look.
But there’s something so sophisticated about an extra-long ponytail.
Add in some Hollywood curls and you’re ready to go.
