This Is The Hairstyle All Brides-To-Be Are Loving Right Now

By Khanak Mehta 

Choosing the right hairstyle for your wedding day can end up being a pretty stressful endeavour – from buns to tight curls to straight, open hair, there are limitless options. But before you go for that trial session with your hairstylist, don’t forget to add open, wavy hair to your shortlist.

While this style may seem relatively simple compared to all the intricate up-do's you may have come across on your search for inspiration, it’s a classic for a reason. In fact, it’s a go-to hairstyle for many brides this year - so much so that it is now officially a bridal styling trend for 2022!

Plus, this look stays in place pretty much all day long – this means that you can enjoy the celebrations and grooving to your rendition of Taare Gin Gin on the dance floor without a single care. Here’s a quick cheat sheet on how to get it right:

Pick your part 

Yes, the way you choose to part your hair can make a pretty big difference to your overall look. While going with your trusted side part may seem like the most natural option, wavy hair looks best on middle to slightly off-centre hair parts. This helps reduce volume at the top and allows the waves to fall more naturally. 

Choose the right curls 

Love an inwards curl whenever you get a blow-dry? Well, your wedding day may not be the best occasion to stick to that style. Make sure you have a chat with your stylist on the direction you want your waves in, especially for the sections near your face. While they may suggest doing an alternating curl pattern or curling all your hair inwards, it’s best to curl the pieces around your face straight back instead of inwards or under. This will help keep the hair out of your face all day long, which means low maintenance, and lots of extra fun. 

Make the look last 

Your hairstylist has done all the hard work, and you’re now walking out of the salon looking and feeling like a million bucks. While you can pretty much now go about the rest of your bridal commitments, it’s always a good idea to carry a hairspray and hair pomade for the occasional touch-up, if needed. Make sure you put one of your bridesmaids on duty to tackle any styling emergencies and have them add these products to their kit.
