Perfect for women with long or medium hair, this style, however, might prove to be a challenge for those with a short bob. Its layered intricacy is best showcased on a canvas of length and volume.
To ensure the style holds beautifully throughout the day, a stronghold yet flexible hairspray is key—think along the lines of Sebastian Shaper Plus Hairspray. And to prep your locks for the updo, a volumizing product like Living Proof Full Dry Volume Blast will give you the necessary lift.
Whether you’re a bridesmaid or the bride herself, this hairstyle ensures you carry a piece of the summer’s joy with you down the aisle.
The Chic Tousled Bun
The tousled bun here is a carefree yet chic choice that speaks to the relaxed spirit of summer. Light and airy, with a few loose strands to frame the face, this blonde bun is as functional as it is pretty.
It’s a go-to for medium to long haired ladies and a dreamy no-go for the pixie-cut crowd. The style’s charm lies in its ability to look effortlessly put together.
Aftercare is all about hydration and avoiding frizz. A product like the OUAI Leave-In Conditioner can provide moisture and manageability. And to achieve that tousled look, a texturizing spray, such as the Amika Un.Done Volume and Matte Texture Spray, will be your best friend.
Imagine yourself at a beachside brunch or a casual summer get-together, your hair pinned up in this delightful bun, catching the light and laughter of the day.
The Sleek Chignon
We end our gallery with the sleek chignon—a timeless classic that has been reimagined for 2024. This hairstyle is the epitome of elegance and is perfect for those with straight or fine hair looking for a sophisticated wedding hair and makeup look.
It might not be the first choice for those with very short or curly textures, but with the right stylist, anything is possible. The chignon’s smooth finish is especially flattering for women with long faces, as it elongates the silhouette.
Maintenance of this sleek look requires a smoothing agent such as the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum. For the chignon to maintain its shape, a reliable hair gel like Eco Styler Olive Oil Styling Gel will keep everything in place without flaking.
Whether it’s a corporate event or a chic wedding, the chignon is a hairstyle that asserts a woman’s grace without saying a word.
The Textured Updo
This brunette-to-blonde gradient brings an unexpected twist to the summer blonde spectrum. It’s an artful blend, showcasing low lights and depth that give a rich, dimensional look. Shadowed roots transition into a luminous, textured updo, crafting a wavy allure that’s as light as a summer breeze.
The style is an ode to the versatility of the blonde ambition, suiting those who are transitioning from darker shades or simply crave complexity in their color. It might be less suitable for the very short-haired beauty, but it remains a strong contender for anyone seeking an intricate, summery updo.
Caring for this shade requires a color-protecting regimen, with products like Redken Color Extend Magnetics Shampoo. To keep the updo’s texture, a dab of TIGI Bed Head Masterpiece Shine Hairspray can add gloss without sacrificing hold.
Whether you’re gracing a sunset soirée or a high-profile meeting, this style ensures your summer narrative is spoken in rich, tasteful tones.
The Disheveled Blonde Beauty
A dreamy, almost ethereal updo with strands that softly caress the cheeks—this style is the epitome of wedding hair and makeup romance. Its ashy blonde color reflects the light, turning each lock into a shimmering strand of summer memories.
Ideal for the female with a medium to long mane, this whimsical updo could prove challenging for those with short straight hair—unless they’re willing to play with extensions.
Sustain this angelic look with a light, nourishing hair oil like the L’Oréal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil Treatment to keep those flyaways silken and under control. A finishing touch of Schwarzkopf Osis+ Sparkler Shine Spray will ensure you dazzle from every angle.
Attending a summer garden wedding or strolling through an evening affair, this hairstyle whispers a fairytale where every chapter is kissed by the sun.
