Wavy bridal hair can add depth and dimension to any look, whether long or short-haired. Its flexible nature pairs beautifully with many styles, such as low buns, high ponytails, and braids.
Have your stylist create natural S-shaped curls, then pair them with a delicate headband for a vintage aesthetic. Or have them style the rings into a braided half-up wedding hairstyle featuring flowers for a boho aesthetic.
Loose Curls:
Classic Vintage Appeal:
For a good reason, this hairstyle is ideal for brides with curly or wavy locks. Sweep it back in a low chignon for vintage appeal that remains stylish today. Add embellishments like braids or flowers for added elegance.
Start by applying Kenra Professional Dry Volume Burst ($19) to damp hair, before curling one-inch sections, ensuring they’re fully secure before moving on to the next row. This prevents loose strands from coming loose while you work. Once complete, this technique helps prevent open locks from unraveling throughout your curls as you go along.
Add an eye-framing strand or two of loose hair to your low chignon for an intimate and romantic effect. Finish this style off with some hairspray to provide a long-term hold.
Sleek Waves:
Elegant Wedding Day Look:
If you want an elegant wedding day look, try going for smooth waves. This hairstyle suits every type of bride and can be enhanced with various bridal hair pins. Make sure to use a frizz-fighting product to keep your locks smooth and shiny all day long.
When walking down the aisle, this classic Hollywood look with sleek waves will have all eyes turning your way. Add pearls to enhance its elegance.
High ponytails are an easy and classic style for brides with wavy locks for their wedding hairstyles. It showcases both your face and neckline while showing off any vintage gown. Add an intricately wrapped chignon for extra sexiness to transform into an old Hollywood movie star.
Chignon:
Height and Volume:
A chignon is an updo that incorporates pins, headpieces, or other hair accessories into its structure. It can add height and volume to your look, regardless of your hair texture. It is especially effective for brides with thin hair who want a fuller appearance without extensions or volumizing products.
Try a low chignon with loose tendrils draping loosely across your face for an elegant and sophisticated look—this romantic look pairs perfectly with side parts or flower crowns. Use curl-defining products to enhance volume, texture, or texturizing spray for additional lift.
Updo:
Timeless and Exquisite Choice:
Updos have always been timeless, and this wavy bridal hairstyle makes an exquisite choice for your big day. Your stylist can use volumizing spray or mousse to help bolster naturally thin locks. It pairs beautifully with shimmery jewelry pieces or chic headbands.
Your stylist will intertwine two thick French or Dutch braids and then tuck them into a soft side bun for this feminine styling. Loose tendrils around your face add dimension and highlight the beauty of your locks.
Add an extra element of beauty and charm to your enchanting updo with the addition of a flower crown or cascade of delicate blooms. Choose flowers that enhance the beauty of your hair updo for an accessory that brings it all together.
