Wedding Short Hairstyles

It probably seems like it’s only the long-haired women who can flaunt fabulous hairstyles to go with their wedding gowns. From updos to wearing their hair loose or tousled, there are a lot of styles to choose from.

Wedding Short Hairstyles

But if you have short hair, you don’t have to be left out of the fun of hair styling  Even though your locks are cropped, you can still exude glamour and femininity and look really special on your big day.

What’s really convenient about short hair is that it’s very easy to maintain throughout the ceremony and you won’t need to worry about your hair being flattened or any carefully crafted curls starting to uncoil. Instead of looking totally fixed up, it will let you look gorgeous yet at the same time casual and carefree.

Here are some easy styles you can play with before your wedding day. Give them a test run first to see which one would look best! Create the illusion of long hair by slicking your hair and attaching a big flowery or jeweled clip in the back.

Push back your hair with a dainty headband. You can also tie a silky or a sheer sash from the top of your head up to the nape and let the ends dangle down your shoulders. Do up your hair in soft waves and work little jeweled pins randomly throughout your hairstyle to make your look glitter.

Part your hair to one side and clip on an elaborate hairpiece on the other side. Brush your hair upwards and pin it down securely, then fasten a floral headpiece or top it all off with a tiara or a jeweled comb.

If you want to keep it simple, you can simply slather on the styling serum and comb your hair the way it looks and feels best to you. Take your cue from all the glamorous famous women with short hair and be inspired to explore all the possibilities with your hairstyle!

Wedding Updo Hairstyles

Wedding Updo Hairstyles Ideas
  • Shampooing long hair is best done standing up, preferably in the shower. This helps reduce matting and tangling. You should choose a shampoo that fits your hair's needs. For instance, chemically treated or damaged hair should be treated with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.

    Only apply shampoo to the scalp and then rub in circular motions to clean the scalp thoroughly. When you rinse, work the shampoo through the ends of your hair and this will also help with less tangles. Your goal is to clean your scalp, so it is not necessary to rub shampoo into the ends of your hair. Use several towels to blot your hair dry. Never rub wet hair because this is a major cause of matting and tangling.

  • Combing and brushing long hair can be difficult if you do not use the proper tools and technique. To make combing wet hair easier, start with a leave-in conditioner. Using a large tooth bone comb, start at the ends and work up a little, about an inch at a time, getting the tangles out.

    If you are working with dry hair, a large paddle brush works best. Again always start at the bottom and slowly work up to the scalp. When blow drying long hair, use your fingers to comb through the hair from scalp to ends while drying.

  • Take some hair tools on hand to make the perfect hairdo. They include a large comb, square paddle brush, bobby pins, hairpins, and elastic bands. The best elastic bands to use are covered with some type of material. You might not have known there is a difference in bobby pins and hairpins, but using them correctly will help your hairstyle.

    Bobby pins touch in the middle and are designed to hold the weight of your hair. Hairpins are made to hold hair in place that has already been secured with bobby pins. You can make curls and then spread them and hold them in place with hairpins.There are lots of great hairstyles you can choose once you have mastered the basics and have your hair clean and ready.

    Braids and updos are perfect hairstyles for proms, senior pictures, bridal pictures, weddings, and formal functions. Many hairstyle professionals can style your clean dry hair in an updo in about 15 minutes. Having long hair doesn't have to mean always wearing a ponytail. Talk with your hairstyle professional about some of the many hairdos that would work for you.

  • Take a strand of hair, and pull the flat irons down and round, so that the hair is flipped to an angle of about 180 degrees as you pull it down. You can also experiment with twisting the irons sideways also.
