Wedding Hairstyles For Long Hair
When choosing a style for your wedding day hair, it is very important to think about a lot of different factors. The theme or style of your wedding, the temperature and humidity, the time of day, what hair piece you intend to wear, veil or no veil?, real flower or fun accessory or antique pin… The options are so limitless that you should start thinking about your hair as soon as you get engaged!
If you know you want to wear your hair down, try one of these great styles!

Romantic Wedding Hair
these long loose waves with a just-off-center part are sweet and simple. You can do them yourself with a little practice with hot rollers, or you can take the idea to your stylist or on-site hair stylist and let them worry about the details. A hot-set will lock in luscious curls and hold very well in most weather conditions. If you want to wear a veil, ask your stylist to show you how to put in and take out the veil (or your Maid-of-Honor or Personal Attendant). It seems like a simple process but can be frustrating if you aren’t sure which way the comb goes or how to keep it in place. |
| Dreamt of the fairytale princess look all your life? If you’ve got your eye on a tiara and veil, try leaving your hair all down but full of large curls or waves and lots of volume and body. It’s a classic look that you can’t go wrong with. If you want to do it yourself, make sure you have all the right tools and products. |
| You’ll need a large barrel curling iron (get a good one so you don’t burn your hair or end up with limp curls). Invest in salon quality products: volumizing mousse, thermal protecting spray, styling hairspray, shine spray and finishing hairspray. Before blow drying your hair, use the volumizing mousse and thermal protecting spray to lock in your moisture and give your hair all that body. After hair is dry, section it and spray with styling spray. Curl in large sections vertically around your curling iron. After hair has cooled, use your fingers to break up curls and a smoothing brush to keep the fly-aways down and the look polished. Set with finishing spray and mist with a little shine spray. |

If you like the look of your hair down but don’t necessarily want it in your face, pin one side back and add a fun flower. You can achieve this style on your own if you curl your hair, then use bobby pins to loosely secure one side behind your ear. It won’t matter if the bobby pins show because you will be covering that area up with a flower or other accessory, so don’t stress about that part. Just make sure to use all the hairspray BEFORE you put a fresh flower or sparkly accessory in your hair. Flowers wilt with all the hairspray on top and the sparkle will be dimmed if you spray too much on your clip. For loose curls like this, curl with a 1” curling iron and finger through curls to separate. Make sure to curl all face-framing hair away from your face to keep the look open and fresh. |
| Some girls just have to have all their hair out of their face, but always wanted the length to be admired. You can have the best of both worlds if you just pull the top half up. Use a simple clip, twist into a bun, secure in a loose ponytail and pull through… You have a lot of options with what you do with the hair you pull back. Make sure you consider your hair accessories before deciding on the final look. |

For messy curls you don’t have to stress about, use magnetic or hot rollers or a curling iron, and then pull the curls out with your fingers after the hair has set. This is a great look for a destination or beach wedding. Long loose curls are the best blowing in the wind! Don’t expect this style to last the longest – you won’t want to use a lot of hairspray to set it, so the curls may start to collapse and go limp after not very long. Keep a mini iron on hand if you’re worried about it. The curls should be fairly easy to touch up in an emergency. |
