Prepare the Hair
Before you start styling, make sure the hair is clean and free of any product buildup. Wash the hair with a gentle shampoo and conditioner, and use a wide-tooth comb to detangle it. If the hair is dry, use a leave-in conditioner to add moisture and shine.
Choose the Right Products
When it comes to styling bridesmaid hair, the right products are essential. Choose a heat protectant spray to protect the hair from heat damage, and a styling product that will help hold the style in place. For curly hair, use a curl-defining cream or mousse. For straight hair, use a smoothing serum or a light-hold hairspray.
Create a Base Style
Once you have the right products, create a base style for the bridesmaids. For curly hair, use a diffuser to enhance the natural curl pattern. For straight hair, use a flat iron to create a sleek, straight look.
Add Volume and Texture
To add volume and texture to the hair, use a volumizing spray or mousse. For curly hair, use a curling iron to create loose waves. For straight hair, use a curling iron to create soft curls.
Create an Updo
For an elegant updo, start by gathering the hair into a low ponytail. Then, twist the ponytail into a bun and secure it with bobby pins. Finish the look with a light-hold hairspray.
Add Accessories
To add a special touch to the bridesmaids’ hairstyles, add a few accessories. Try a sparkly headband, a flower clip, or a few bobby pins with rhinestones.
Create a Half-Up Style
For a romantic half-up style, start by gathering the top half of the hair into a ponytail. Then, twist the ponytail into a bun and secure it with bobby pins. Finish the look with a light-hold hairspray.
Create a Braid
For a boho-chic look, create a braid. Start by gathering the hair into a low ponytail. Then, divide the ponytail into three sections and braid the hair. Secure the braid with a clear elastic and finish the look with a light-hold hairspray.
Create a Fishtail Braid
For a more intricate look, create a fishtail braid. Start by gathering the hair into a low ponytail. Then, divide the ponytail into two sections and begin braiding the hair. To create the fishtail braid, take a small piece of hair from the outside of one section and cross it over to the other section. Continue braiding until you reach the end of the hair and secure the braid with a clear elastic. Finish the look with a light-hold hairspray.
Add a Hairpiece
For a glamorous look, add a hairpiece. Choose a hairpiece that complements the bridesmaids’ hairstyles, such as a flower clip or a sparkly headband. Secure the hairpiece with bobby pins and finish the look with a light-hold hairspray.
