Trending Bridal Hairstyles in 2018

Wedding bells bring out the diva in all of us. We want to look our best on that special day and go to great lengths to find the perfect outfit, the perfect jewellery, the perfect everything – right down to the shade of lipstick. But what often gets ignored in the exhaustive rush of planning your bridal look is the all-important hairdo! The way you fashion your hair can make a huge difference to your overall appearance. A last minute “do your best” directive to the salon hair-stylist can go very wrong. In order to avoid any such issues on D-day, it’s best to plan your wedding hairdo in advance, just as you plan your outfit, footwear, and makeup.

If you are looking for some wedding hair styling ideas, the recent trends in the bridal couture industry could be your inspiration. We have picked up two of the popular hair trends from this season that have universal appeal and suitability. Regardless of your height, face-cut, and wedding dress style, these hairdos will complement your bridal look. So read on for our top picks for bridal hairdos this season!

Bejewelled Up-do

Traditional Indian brides typically wear their hair in a bun since they need an up-do which their heavy dupatta or palu can be attached to. But modern brides have begun experimenting with the classic bun and also the way they drape their dupatta. We say, why not do the traditional up-do with modern stylistics? Perfect balance, isn’t it?

This season, bejewelled hair accessories are all the rage. Go in for a soft bun and highlight it with hair accessories that match your jewellery. From the front, keep the look relaxed, with tendrils and wisps in a careful disarray. This will give you a soft, delicate appearance and also prevent the discomforts of tightly styled hair.

 

Waterfall Braid

Brides in the western world wear their hair in many different ways. Some leave them open with a little bit of styling while others go in for complex buns, braids, or even ponytails. Our favourite this season in the waterfall braid which can be as simple or fancy as you please. Just make sure to discuss it with your hairstylist before because they can take a while to get right.

Waterfall braids can be further enhanced with hair accessories or even flowers. We suggest using pearl accessories and/or white flowers since these add much elegance to the final bridal look. And the best part is, you do not have to worry about too many pins or clips in your hair since as far as keeping the hair in place goes, waterfall braids are rather low maintenance. Sounds great, right?

While these are our top picks, you can customize these further to better suit your sensibilities or even go in for something else. But keep two things in mind when selecting your wedding hairdo; one, it should be as comfortable and fuss-free as possible, and two, it should be distinctive enough to add more glam to your bridal turnout. You’ll not go wrong if you follow these rules!

3 Cute Hairstyles For Wedding Season

Bridal Hair Styles

Wedding season is right around the corner and I firmly believe that when it comes to matrimonial functions, you should leave no stone unturned. I love to experiment with and learn new hairstyles in the run up to weddings, so that every element of my look is unique. This season, a couple of my friends and cousins are getting married, so I have been on the hunt for some cute hairstyles that will set me apart from the rest of the attendees. Ladies, I present to you: three cute hairstyles to sport this wedding season…or for any major event, really.

Slicked Back

When I saw this sexy hairstyle on Khloe Kardashian earlier this year, I was simply blown away and knew that I had to try it. It screams “power woman” and would look absolutely amazing with a gorgeous gown for a night-time cocktail affair. Start by using a texturizing spray in your mane. Next, use a boar bristle brush to blow dry your hair upward from the roots at the crown. This will create the volume that is so important for this style. After this, blow dry the sides backward and pin them back, whilst keeping the volume at the top. At this stage, it is a good idea to straighten the rest of your hair (with the pins in place) to achieve the perfect sleek finish. Now, gently smooth the top back with a fine-tooth comb, shaping your hair until you have the amount of height you want. Finish off your look with a texture paste to shape the look and a final spritz of strong-hold spray.

Milkmaid Braid

I have been lusting over this flirty hairstyle for a while now, but it is only recently that I learned how to do it. I can totally imagine sporting this for a daytime mehendi function with glamorous jhumka earrings to finish the look. You should start this hairdo by brushing your hair to remove any tangles, because they might mess up your braids. Part your hair evenly in the middle and then plait each side in the Dutch braid style, securing it at the end with a thin hair elastic. Spritz both braids with hairspray to tuck in any loose hairs. Now, place one braid across your head (like you would wear a headband) and pin it in place. Do the same with the second one and secure the end under the first braid. Use hairspray to tidy up the look and voila!

Ballerina Bun

This bun is a classic one that will never go out of style. You can sport this for both Indian and Western weddings as it exudes an easy sophistication. Start with brushing out your hair to remove any tangles and then pull your hair back into a ponytail, using a comb to remove any bumps. Secure this with a thin hair elastic. Now, separate your ponytail into two even sections. Take the first and twist the section tightly. After this, wrap the twist around the base of your ponytail (not over it) as many times as possible and then secure the end with pins. Repeat with the second section, and finish off the look with a strong-hold hairspray. If you are going for a desi wedding, you could even add an embellished hair stick to the bun for some fun!
