Bridal hair / 15 styles
Bun or wave,
or a braid?
Your dress may be ready while you are still choosing between two hairstyle photographs. Start with one question: up or down? Then compare the parting, height and accessories in the same hair trial.
There are 15 options here, ranging from nape bun to short pixie cut. The length and texture of your hair and the veil you use can change how the same model will look on you.
Updo · Understated
Sleek low bun
Centre-parted hair is gathered into a neat knot at the nape. The emphasis is on shine and a clean line; it looks complete even without a large accessory.

Updo · Textured
Soft tousled low bun
Loosely gathered sections near the nape create a softer bun. A few fine strands can frame the face; tousled does not mean coming apart at random.

Updo · Defined shape
High ballerina bun
The hair is fixed in a round and collected form close to the crown. It leaves the nape of the neck open; it is necessary to consider the choice of veil and crown together with the height of the bun.

Updo · Classic
French twist
The hair is turned inward in a vertical curl at the back. Its difference from the round bun is its long, shell-like form; it can be tried with an open back or a simple collar.

Hollywood wave
Regular S-shaped waves moving in the same direction and a defined side part are the signatures of this look. It offers a more sculpted option when you want to wear your hair down.

Updo · Braided
Crown braid
The braid that goes around the head creates a frame like an accessory. The braiding technique may vary depending on the length and density of the hair; it would be better not to expect the exact volume in the image.

Braided · Long hair
Side fishtail braid
Long hair is gathered in a thin transitional braid on one shoulder. You can carry the same braid to a different atmosphere by keeping the texture on the top plain or loose.

Updo · Movement
Voluminous high ponytail
Hair gathered high is left in long, loose waves. If you want a ponytail with movement rather than a tight bun, consider its volume and fastening point together.

Updo · Minimal

Loose · Curly
Natural curls worn loose

The bob, which ends between the chin and the shoulders, is parted to the side and shaped with distinctive waves. It is another option to try the bridal look without growing your hair long or tying it up.

Short · Minimal
Pixie with accessories
The line of the short cut is preserved; A thin hair band or small hairpin sets the focus. Instead of creating a big bun, you might consider adapting your cut for your wedding day.

Bring more than your inspiration photograph to the hair trial.
Make your hair look beautiful; but also know how it will feel during the day. These little checks may be more helpful than deciding between two similar photos:
- Take along a photo of the neckline and back of your wedding dress, your earrings, veil and hair accessory.
- Photograph the front, side and back views in the same light. Don't judge by looking at the front camera alone.
- Turn your head, sit down and walk a few steps. If there is a feeling of tightness or pulling, mention it at hair trial.
- Show your hair daily texture to your hairdresser; ask if additional hair or different procedures are needed to achieve the volume in the image.
- Plan together the look after removing the veil and what you will do when a minor adjustment is needed.
Check the neckline and veil of the wedding dress during the hair hair trial, and the skirt length with shoes during the dress hair trial. It may not be enough to like individual pieces that complete the look; bridal shoes in the fitting list Decide by trying the movements.
