Wash your hair the night before the wedding. Hair that has been freshly washed is difficult to style into an updo as the hair is too fine and soft.

2
Comb your hair through to remove any knots and decide where to place your hair part. Part your hair to one side for a sophisticated look or straight down the middle for a bold, statement look.

Leave side bangs loose or pinned behind the ear, depending upon your preference. Alternatively, leave small wispy, face-framing strands loose around the hairline instead.

Sweep your hair into a ponytail and secure with a hair-colored hair wrap. The ponytail can be low at the nape of the neck, over to one side or high at the back of your head, depending upon where you would like the bun positioned.

Lightly backcomb the ponytail to create more volume. The more volume you create, the fuller the finished bun will appear. Take 2-inch sections of the hair and begin to loosely wrap around the base of the ponytail and secure using bobby pins. Repeat the process of pinning the hair into position to create a bun shape.

Manipulate the bun with your fingers until you have formed the desired shape. Finish with a strong-hold hairspray to ensure it will last for the entire day and evening.
