Funky Wedding Hairstyles
A wedding day is an important celebration for a man and woman who will be joining together in a life-long commitment. The last thing someone wants to worry about is wearing the same hairstyle as another guest attending the wedding. Unique and funky hairstyles are a way to stand out from the rest of the crowd during the wedding ceremony and reception. Does this Spark an idea?

Extensions
-
Hair extensions add length and fullness to any wedding hairstyle. Synthetic and human hair are both used in hair extensions and can be matched to any hair color or type. Bright, funky-colored extensions in hot pink, purple or maroon add a unique touch to any 'do and are sure to stand out during a wedding. The extensions can be secured with a bonding tool that attaches the extension to a strand of natural hair with bonding glue, heat seal, micro link, tape or standard weaving methods. Clip-in extensions are also available. Salons offer these services for individuals who don't want to attach the extensions themselves.
Updos
-
Choosing a funky updo will give a wedding party fun, unique looks for those with long and short hair. For example, add extra large loops or spirals to a traditional updo to add character to the hairstyle. Updo options are endless and can be based on the popular princess updo, which is a hairstyle where the hair is pulled back and placed in a ponytail with the tail styled in curls or braids. Spiked twirls of hair can be extended from the updo or large chunky curls can be created with differently sized curling irons. Updos should be created from dry, unwashed hair, which will hold the style better than freshly washed hair, which make the hair slippery. Use decorative accessories such as hair combs, jewels and flowers to add character to the hairstyle.

Spiked Hair
-
Both men and women with short or medium-length hair can create a funky wedding 'do by spiking it. Achieve a spiked look by flipping the hair so that it hangs downward and applying firm-hold styling mousse throughout its length. With your fingers, arrange the hair into loose spikes going in different directions and keep the hair hanging down until the mousse has dried. For added punch, color the spikes various colors to bring more attention to the style. Consider selecting colors that match the bridesmaids' dresses or flower colors.
Color the Hair
-
Choosing a simple or crazy color for your hair will surely add a funky edge to your wedding hairstyle. Select the color based on your personal preference or to match the colors associated with the wedding. Once the color has been selected, visit your hairstylist or color your hair yourself at least six months before the wedding so you can see how the color is going to appear in your hair. Apply the final color two weeks before the wedding for a fresh look. Never color your hair on impulse right before the wedding in case it doesn't come out the way you wanted. Colored hair can be arranged into any hairstyle you like.
