Do-it-yourself wedding hairstyles at home: how to create beautiful styling for long, short and medium hair step by step at home yourself

Preparation at home

Before you start creating your own hairstyle, you need to prepare. It is important to choose a convenient place with good lighting and calculate in advance how much time it will take to install.
Regardless of hair length, to create a wedding look you need to prepare a number of accessories:

a convenient comb for dividing hair into strands (it is better to purchase combs of different sizes);
brush;
a large and a small mirror so that you can conveniently view your hairstyle from different angles;
curling iron and tongs;
a set of hairpins and bobby pins;
elastic bands of different sizes;
curlers of different shapes;
special hairdressing roller;
hair decorations : hairpins, rhinestones, pearls, beads, ribbons, fresh flowers, bows;
hairdryer

It is recommended to give preference to high quality accessories and tools , which are sold in specialized stores for hairdressers. They are easier to work with, and you can style your hair more securely. You can call your mother, sister or friend to help you style your hair. Extra hands won't hurt, especially if the bride has planned a complex multi-tiered styling.

A few days before the wedding, if necessary, you should go to the salon and get your strands in order. Even the most sophisticated hairstyle will not save split, unkempt locks. It is also important to wash your hair on the day of the celebration and use products that give your curls shine and aroma.
Advice! Before doing your wedding hairstyle, try creating test styling options. Practice during the week before the celebration to avoid unpleasant surprises on your wedding day.

What terrible lengths you have to go to for love - creepy wedding traditions

Recommendations for selection

There are many wedding hairstyles based on hair of different lengths, be it a bob, medium-length strands or waist-length curls, which are easy to do yourself. Stylists give several recommendations for choosing the appropriate option:

Lush high hairstyles visually narrow the face, but reduce height. They go well with narrow or straight dresses and open shoulders;
thin curly hair . It will be extremely difficult to maintain the shape of such strands throughout the wedding day;
A round face will be decorated with lush hairstyles and loose curls. You can also correct the shape with the help of correctly selected jewelry that visually lengthens the face;
For long thick hair, the simplest options are suitable - large curls, braids or a bun;
Short curls are complemented by backcombing, curls at the temples and artificial strands;
To style medium-length hair, it is good to use a hair roller;
When choosing a wedding hairstyle, it is advised to focus on the time of year. Careless styling and loose hair, for example, are more appropriate for a summer celebration;
You should not experiment with hair color on your wedding day. It is better to dye even individual strands in advance.

Experienced hairdressers recommend avoiding aggressive chemicals that weigh down your hair. They make styling less natural and attractive and can cause allergies.

The hairstyle is suitable for owners of long thick curls. Hairstyles with loose hair are also discussed in our other article. You will find out what you will need for installation, what they are, who is suitable for which option and what features are inherent in it.

Ideas for long hair

Styling long hair is not an easy task, but there are many hairstyle options for such strands.

Ponytail step by step

A familiar ponytail, which any woman without hairdressing experience can pull off, can become an element of the bride’s delicate look. For short brides, a ponytail secured high on the top of the head, curled into large curls with a curling iron or curlers, is suitable. This hairstyle will visually elongate your silhouette.

Strands or bangs left on the sides will decorate the look. Small fresh flowers or beads are used as an addition.

An asymmetrical ponytail with a raised nape looks great. To create this hairstyle you need:

separate bangs;
backcomb the crown area;
put hair in a side ponytail;
secure the tail with an elastic band;
Curl loose strands with a curling iron or curlers.

To create the next version of a hairstyle based on a ponytail, you will have to work hard:

divide the curls into two parts;
secure a section of hair in a triangle on the parietal area with an elastic band;
braid the hair from the parietal area into a spikelet and fold it in half, securing it with bobby pins;
Divide the remaining strands into 6 equal parts and braid them into braids.;
pull the braids into an accordion and secure with hairpins;
complement the styling with jewelry or a veil.

In the Greek style with a tiara

Hair styling in the Greek style with a tiara looks especially gentle and romantic. This hairstyle will complement a dress in the Greek or Empire style. The tiara is chosen with an eye to the style of the outfit. The decoration should not look cheap, but this does not mean that only a gold tiara is suitable for a wedding.

There are several options for Greek style hairstyles that you should try to do yourself. For one of them, a tiara-bandage is used, which is put on the forehead and parietal area, and then the ends of the hair are tucked under the decoration. If desired, a few strands are left free, giving the image more romance.

Important! The Greek style implies lightness, so the tiara should be wisely complemented with other jewelry. For example, large single flowers will not go well with any tiara, but you can decorate flowing waves of hair with tiny flowers in a duet with a tiara.

Hairstyles with a tiara for long hair are built mainly on large curls. Straight hair is curled with curlers or curling irons. To create a gentle look, just comb the back of your head a little, lifting the crown, gather your hair on the sides with plaits or braids and decorate with a tiara.

Loose curls

Loose hair looks feminine in any case. The main thing is a healthy shine and well-groomed appearance. Creating such a hairstyle is the easiest option. You just need to twist and decorate the strands. It is not recommended to use small curlers for a wedding hairstyle. Otherwise, the bride will look like a lamb.

The easiest way to curl curls is with a curling iron. The hair is fixed on the top of the head with a clip and, separating the strands from below, curls are created. The curls are secured with varnish. At the end, the hairstyle is decorated to your liking. Fresh flowers look great on loose hair.

The abundance of varnish makes the strands unnatural and similar to artificial curls, so it is important not to overdo it with the amount of fixing agents. In a hairstyle with loose hair, lightness and airiness are especially important.

For medium hair

Medium length hair will also not be difficult to style for a wedding ceremony. There are a lot of hairstyle options for those with shoulder-length strands. You can leave them loose, braid them, or create something unusual.

Hair bow at home

This hairstyle for medium-length curls is popular among modern brides. Using a hair bow creates a slightly frivolous look. This style is suitable for young girls. A classic snow-white dress a la princess does not go well with this hairstyle. It is better to choose a short dress with a flared skirt. But the veil goes perfectly with a hair bow.

You can create a bow from all the strands in full or decorate the styling with a cute detail from part of the curls.

Advice! If the hair is not thick enough, it is recommended to add artificial strands. This will make your hair more voluminous and attractive.

You can do your own hairstyle with a minimum of accessories.

You will need:

elastic band;
invisible;
varnish to fix the result.

Step by step process:

the hair is collected in a regular ponytail and a loop is created, which is divided into two parts;
from the curls they create the shape of a bow;
the hanging ends of the strands are lifted up and secured with invisible threads;
The hairstyle is fixed with varnish and decorated.

With weaving and flowers

Braided hairstyles in a wedding look look elegant and feminine. They decorate the head with complex braids in several tiers or simply braid an asymmetrical braid.

A French or inverted braid looks great. Hairstyles in the form of a waterfall and the so-called fishtail are also popular. For decoration, use fresh or artificial flowers. Before braiding on the top of the head, you should lightly comb your hair to make the hairstyle more voluminous. A waterfall of hair with many braids never goes out of style. The hanging strands in this style are slightly curled with a curling iron.

It should be borne in mind that it is not always possible to create complex weaves using flowers on your own. Help may be needed.

Bangs are an interesting look for a long-haired bride

Girls who have bangs often face hair styling problems, namely the lack of variety in hairstyles and styles. But this does not mean that a bride with bangs will end up with a boring hairstyle.

With bangs, you can come up with more complex and unusual styling, thanks to which the bride’s image will be bright and unforgettable.

Those with long bangs should avoid a lot of jewelry.

To make the look romantic, you can comb your bangs to the side and fix them with hairspray. Hairspray may not cope with this task if your bangs have never been combed to the side before. In order for your hair to lie as it should, you need to comb it in one position for several days.

How to style your own short hair

Many brides try to grow their curls before their wedding day, but don’t be upset if it doesn’t work out. And with a short haircut you can look stylish and feminine.

Retro waves - do it step by step

Retro waves, which came into fashion in the 30s of the 20th century, are still in fashion. This hairstyle will complement the stylish retro image of the bride. A straight, narrow dress will go well with this hairstyle.

To create retrowaves, or cold waves as they are also called, you will need:

styling mousse;
comb for separating strands;
hair clips without teeth.

Advice! When creating retro waves, do not use a hair dryer. The air pressure will destroy the installation.

Step-by-step instruction:

We divide clean, slightly damp hair into a side parting;
From the top we begin to separate strands three fingers wide;
We treat each strand with fixative mousse;
Using a movement reminiscent of the letter C, use a comb to lay the strands from the forehead to the side and back, while slightly lifting the curls at the roots;
We secure the finished wave with clamps;
We repeat the C-shaped movement with all the hair;
When the hair is dry, remove the clips and give the final styling;
Fix with varnish.

Careless styling

Careless styling sets the tone of lightness and carefree, but at the same time looks stylish and modern. It won’t be difficult for the newlywed to create it with her own hands.

For casual styling, just fluff your hair and apply a small amount of styling product against the growth of the strands.

Another option is to use a curling iron to curl the strands starting from the back of the head, with the ends outward. At the temples, the curls are twisted with flagella and secured with hairpins. A tiara or veil will decorate this hairstyle.

Gibson

Gibson's hairstyle involves neatly collected curls and an open neck line. For this styling you will need a special hairdresser's roller. The hairstyle is not suitable for a very short haircut.

If there is bangs, then they are braided into a French braid and laid on one side. The remaining strands are gathered into a ponytail. The area above the tail is divided into two parts, and a roller is placed in the middle and covered with hair, lifting the hair up.

From a reverse French braid step by step

This wedding hairstyle will suit all girls, thanks to its rather voluminous weave and neat appearance.

Instructions for doing it at home:

It is necessary to make a deep side parting.
A large strand is separated from the temple and the creation of a French braid of 3 strands begins with reverse braiding approximately to the earlobe on the opposite side.
The end of the braid is tied with an elastic band. Throughout the entire braid, strands are slightly straightened (pulled) from all sides, making it more voluminous. Fix with varnish.
The hair near the ear, where the braiding ends, is secured with bobby pins. The remaining braid is twisted into the shape of a flower and secured to the ear with bobby pins and hairpins.

How to decorate yourself

Advice! When choosing hair accessories, it is important not to overdo it. Jewelry should be combined with each other and harmoniously complement the styling.

Hairdressers always have a lot of different hair accessories in their arsenal. When deciding to do your own wedding hairstyle, it is important to decide in advance what accessories you will need and purchase them.

Modern stores offer different types of hair jewelry:

Hoops and ribbons - such accessories will decorate a hairstyle in the Greek style. They can be either plain or decorated with pearls, beads or fresh flowers;
Artificial flowers – today craftsmen create artificial flowers that are difficult to distinguish from real ones. Textile buds do not fade, and with them the bride can be sure that her hairstyle will not lose its freshness and attractiveness until the end of the banquet;
Veil – this detail adds mystery to the bride’s image. It looks especially good on short hair or tied in a bun. But you should know that the presence of a veil excludes a veil;
Tiara - the right type of decoration will suit any hairstyle and dress;
Fresh flowers - it is better to give preference to flowers that remain fresh for a long time, or use special capsules to place flowers in them;
Beads and pearls - exquisite accessories are actively used to create different types of wedding hairstyles;
Lace and rhinestones are used to decorate the curls of bold brides who are ready to experiment.

A few rules to make sure everything works out

Simple recommendations:

Stock up on all the necessary styling products. Take only a proven product so that it holds your hair perfectly.
Don't overdo it. It’s better to choose simple hairstyles that you can definitely repeat yourself. Otherwise, your holiday mood will be spoiled.
Don't be afraid of accessories. They will add completeness to the look, no matter what styling you choose.
Do not use heavy hairsprays. They cheapen the image. Your curls will look unnatural.
