What Types of Bridal Hair Are There? ♡
To all the brides-to-be preparing for their wedding, have you decided on a hairstyle that matches your dress?
☑ Pre-wedding photo hair
☑ Ceremony hair
☑ Reception hair
☑ After-party hair
There are many occasions when brides arrange their hair. You'll need to think about which hairstyle to choose before the hair and makeup rehearsal. *
Although bridal hair can be described in one word, there are various styles from updos to down styles.
In this article, we will introduce 10 popular and classic hair arrangements for wedding scenes. ♡
Let's start by selecting a hairstyle that fits your image from these options! *
Bridal Hair Arrangement ① Chignon
One of the most popular updo styles is the chignon, where the hair is gathered at the nape of the neck. A chignon is a general term for a hairstyle that gathers hair. *With its elegant atmosphere, it is often chosen for ceremony hair.
Since it's a hairstyle where the hair is braided and wrapped up, brides with medium or bob hair can easily try this style. For those with long hair, a larger chignon like in the photo is a beautiful option. ♡
By adding waves to the hair before creating the chignon, you can achieve a soft and fluffy look.
This hairstyle pairs well with any hair accessory, including flowers, a back headband, or a comb. ♡
Bridal Hair Arrangement ② Gibson Tuck
Next up is the popular Gibson tuck, a type of updo hairstyle where the hair is tucked in low. This is a mature and sophisticated hairstyle. ♡
By adding waves to the hair before styling, it gives a soft impression, while leaving it straight maintains an elegant and classic feel. *
The Gibson tuck is also popular as Western hair for traditional Japanese attire. You can enjoy a chic yet trendy coordination with this style. ♡
Bridal Hair Arrangement ③ High Bun
The cute high bun gathered at the top of the head creates a bright and cheerful impression. It's standard to pair this with sparkling accessories or a tiara for the ceremony.
A large, neat bun is truly fit for a princess ♡ and is popular among brides who admire Cinderella.
Brides who choose a bun for their reception or after-party often prefer a casual touch. ♡
Pulling out sections of the gathered hair to create volume, and decorating it with plenty of flowers is a great idea. *
Bridal Hair Arrangement ④ Night Party Style
For the stylish and mature bride, a night party hairstyle is recommended. Wear a dramatic headpiece at the temple for a glamorous effect. ♡
This style also looks great with slender or mermaid line dresses. *
Adding a loose vibe to the night party style is also a cute option. ♡
It beautifully showcases the nape of the neck, capturing the attention of your partner and guests.
Bridal Hair Arrangement ⑤ Ponytail
The representative "popular hair" is the ponytail. ♡ In the wedding scene, a neatly gathered ponytail is all the rage.
The key to the ponytail is the height at which the hair is gathered. A low ponytail gives an adult and natural impression, while a high ponytail appears cute and festive. ♡
A high ponytail with volume on top looks very festive. ♡
To keep the tail from appearing flat, it's important to curl it nicely before gathering. *
Bridal Hair Arrangement ⑥ Half-Up
The half-up style gathers only the hair from above the ears. While letting the hair down, it gives a clean and elegant atmosphere. ♡
The hair left down is often soft and wavy, creating a relaxed vibe.
A half-up style with braids on the sides gathered at the back has a delightful princess essence. ♡ This lets you showcase a pristine bridal look.
Bridal Hair Arrangement ⑦ Down Style
The down style keeps hair down without gathering, letting it cascade down the back. This hairstyle is popular not only for receptions and after-parties but also for overseas weddings.
The key to making it stand out is incorporating waves and hair accessories. By creating strong waves from the top, you can achieve a special down style. Choose accessories that are noticeable.
A sparkling down style with flowers or tulle scattered throughout is incredibly festive. ♡
For brides looking to make a significant change in appearance during the reception, consider switching from a classical updo to a down style like this! *
Bridal Hair Arrangement ⑧ Braided Down Hair
Next is the increasingly popular braided down hair from the past few years. ♡ This arrangement involves braiding long hair into one strand, often referred to as Rapunzel hair.
It's typical to adorably adorn the braided hair with little flowers. ♡ Depending on your hair accessories, this style can be either natural or cute.
The braided down hairstyle can also be adjusted by letting it fall to one side or making a fishtail braid instead of a traditional braid, making it versatile. *
Choose an arrangement that suits the theme of your wedding and the dress you'll be wearing! ♡
Bridal Hair Arrangement ⑨ Onion Hair
Onion hair is also a relatively new arrangement, similar to braided down hair. This hairstyle ties up sections of hair at regular intervals, appearing like a string of onions. ♡
It's perfect for those who want to enjoy a stylish, loose hairstyle.
