6. Wavy Lob
The lob, or long bob, is a really popular length right now. Adding waves makes it fresh and flattering. It hits around the collarbone, which is a great length for many. This style looks amazing on hair with a bit of natural texture or hair that holds a curl well. Use a curling iron or wand to create loose waves.
5. Messy Bun with Wisps
For a more relaxed wedding vibe, a messy bun is a great choice. It looks effortless but still stylish. Letting a few wisps fall around your face keeps it soft. This works for casual or even semi-formal events. Gently pull out a few strands around your hairline to create those intentional wisps.
4. Pixie Cut with Volume on Top
If you have short hair and want to make a statement, a pixie cut with volume on top is it! It’s bold and modern. Adding volume on top can help balance out rounder face shapes. Use a pomade or wax to lift the hair on top and give it hold.
3. Sleek and Straight
Sometimes, simple is best. Sleek and straight hair looks incredibly polished and sophisticated. It’s clean and elegant. This style works best on hair that is naturally straight or can be easily straightened. Use a heat protectant spray before using a flat iron for a super sleek finish.
2. Updo with Braided Accent
An updo with a braided accent adds a beautiful, intricate detail. You can incorporate a small braid into a bun or twist. It adds a touch of romance and uniqueness. This is lovely for formal occasions. Practice braiding a section of your hair beforehand to make it easier to include in your updo.
1. Soft Curls Pinned to the Side
This is my top pick for a reason! Soft curls pinned to the side are incredibly elegant. It’s a look that feels both classic and modern. The curls soften your features, and pinning them to one side adds a lovely asymmetric touch that frames your face beautifully. Use a strong hold hairspray and bobby pins to make sure those soft curls stay perfectly in place all day.
