All eyes are going to be on you, yes you the dear bride-to-be, at your wedding. From the clothing style to the shoes, makeup and the Mehendi, and the way you doll up your lovely hair too - everyone would be watching your sense of fashion. So if you want the world to remember your bridal look, something along the lines of how B-Town divas are talked about, we have a couple of avery gorgeous hairdos for the modern Indian bride with various hair lengths she can opt for. Take a look and get started with the hairstylist on practicing them all.
1. A ruffled romantic bun
For women with long to moderate length hair, they could use a hair doughnut to pump up the layers of ruffles for their updos and make the bridal hairdo very romantic and elegant to look at. The hair needs to be layered with hair mousse, and hot tongs should set the curls right. You can also decide to use a fresh rose as a hair accessory to match the wedding saree or use a hairpin meant for brides to accentuate the look.
2. Bridal twirls
One again, with the help of plenty of hair mousse and hair setting spray, you must bathe the hair strands and use hot tongs to curl each section into ringlets. Place a hair doughnut in the middle section of the head, which would be the crown or the apex of the head. Pin the doughnut and twirl each ringlet into a pin curl around it and over it. Set the look with hairspray and complete the accessorizing with a pearl chain or a pearly mang tikka for the elegant look to come through.
3. Thick ringlet ponytail
For the bride that wants to have her moderate length of hair flaunted with minimal accessorizing at the wedding, she can have a waterfall of ringlets made into a high ponytail. This is a versatile bridal look that can be worn for the wedding and for the reception alike. And the best part is, it can be worn with any ethnic bridal wear too. Hair mousse is a must, hot rollers or hot tongs to help with the curls and a chic bridal hair accessory is what you would need.
4. Sleek low buns
If you have medium to short hair, and would want to have a low updo for the wedding, here’s a look that you can carry. Divide your hair into two sections- the front and the back. Sleek gel the front mane with hair products and comb them sideways, flat and nice. The hair at the back should be back brushed and made into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck. The low ponytail should be exaggerated upon on either side of the nape and pinned; embellish with a chic hair accessory and set with hair spray.
5. Messy puffed up fish braids
Fish braids aren’t for the bridesmaids alone; you can wear them too if you have medium length hair. Do a French braid or an upside down braid, from the middle or from the side, and set the look with hairspray. Puff it up by gently twisting the strands and elaborating on the length. Set the look with more hairspray again and add hair accessories to make it look beautiful.
6. Low braided romantic twirls
For women with long but thin hair, the romantic low braided twirl bun would make the bridal hairdo look as elegant as it can be. For this, the hair needs to be divided into three sections- the front, the midsection, and the back. The hair in the front should be crimped a little and middle partitioned, while the hair at the back should be braided, teased and back brushed, and pinned to the nape of the neck. Create a ponytail at the last section of the hair with tongs and hair mousse, and use a hair doughnut to create a rounded volume. Upon this doughnut, you shall twirl each strand and pin it into the hairdo. Complete the look with a chic hair accessory.
7. Volumnize the short hair
For women with bob cuts to neck length hair, and if they want large hairdos for their wedding look, we would look at this idea for a minimal yet elegant touch! Divide the hair into two sections. The front should be back brushed and combed sideways - secure with a bridal clip. The hair at the back should b teased and back brushed, and a dusting of dry shampoo should be done on this section. Comb the hair backward first and at the nape of the neck. Comb the hair in the forward graduation style. Set the look with your Indian mang tikka and some hairspray.
A bonus favourite!
If you have neck length hair and would want to add more volume and flaunt a sassy look for your wedding, here is a bridal hairdo to wear for both the wedding and your reception. Comb the hair in two partitions - front and back. The front hair should be crimped and teased, and combed to the side. The hair at the back should be bathed with hair mousse and then curled with hot rollers or tongs. Allow the soft curls at the back to fall over the shoulder and accessories with a tiara or a crown or a mang tikka for a princessy look to come through.
