A slicked back bun hairstyle will make a bride look elegant and sophisticated in wedding photos. Wash the hair and blow dry. Make a rigid part in the middle or the left or right side of the hair. The straight metal side of a rat tail comb can help separate the hair in the part.
Comb a heavy gel through the hair to the ends, starting at the roots. Comb the hair behind the ears and back toward the nape of the neck. Gather the hair into a low ponytail where the head meets the neck. Secure the ponytail with a rubber band while combing any hair bubbles straight.
Twist the hair---starting at the rubber band---down to the ends while holding it straight out from the head. Wrap the twisted hair around the ponytail holder in a clockwise motion. Secure the end of the twist with bobby pins. Place bobby pins in the sides of the newly formed bun to prevent stray hairs from coming loose. Spray the bun with hairspray and add a barrette directly above the bun. The barrette can serve adornment purpose only or can be used to anchor the bun instead of the bobby pins. -
Loose waves is a hairstyle that is quick to execute and can be worn with any type of veil. Mist dry hair lightly with hairspray and part the hair down the middle or on a preferred side. This hairstyle will be easier to perform if the hair has not been washed or conditioned for a day or two.
Hold a hot roller vertically in your hand. (Use the largest type of curler that is in the roller set, because the waves will be looser with large rollers while tight curls will be the result from thinner rollers.) Hold a two-inch section of hair straight and toward the shoulder. Roll the curler loosely into the section of hair back toward the ear. The curlers should not be sitting higher than the top of the ear.
Roll the next section of hair toward the front. Repeat these steps until the whole head is in curlers.
Spray the hair with hairspray and wait 15 minutes or until the curlers have completely cooled. Take out the curlers and run hands through the hair. Spray with hairspray to set the waves. A thick barrel curling iron can be used to touch up any waves that fall flat.
