5 Wedding Hair Styles Trending in 2013
The verdict is in – this year’s trendy wedding hair styles are fun, classy, and simple! In 2013, celebrities are paving the way for bridal hair trends by adding flair to classic styles. The following styles take little time to obtain and only require basic styling tools.
The Classic Formal Finish
Classic wedding hair styles that are elegant and easy to pull off. One variation of this style starts by clipping back a large section of hair while leaving a medium amount of hair down in the front on both sides. Use a curling iron to curl the front hair in small pieces. Make a high ponytail with the clipped hair and divide into 3 sections. Use 2 sections to form upturned buns and pin into place. Curl the 3rd section of hair. To finish off this style, pin up all of the curls near the buns. Leave the ends of the curly hair hanging for a slightly tousled appearance.
Short Hair with Accessories
Icons like Anne Hathaway and Emma Watson show off shorter cuts that make for popular wedding hair styles. Shorter hair can be difficult to spice up, but accessories can jazz up just about any style. Traditional veils are a bit too heavy for shorter hair, so replace it with a birdcage veil. Hair combs are the perfect go to for short hair and can add a little glamour. When choosing a comb, make sure the teeth are small so it can grasp firmly to the hair.
The Long Vintage Look
The vintage look is back this year. This wedding hair style is great for medium to long straightened hair. Begin by spraying the hair from root to tip with hairspray. Part the hair down the side or down the middle. Take a medium sized section of hair on one side (including bangs if long enough) and loosely twist it back. Pin the hair in place. Repeat the loose twist on the other side and pin back in a similar fashion. Take another medium section of hair directly under one of the twists and cross it to the other pinned section, loop underneath, and pin it. Long straight locks hang in the back with a section of hair crossing horizontally under the twists. The front view showcases the bride’s face.
Fishtail Braids
Fishtail braids are a trending wedding hair style. Obtain the perfect fishtail braid by dividing hair into 2 sections. On the left-hand side of the left section, pull a strand of hair out, cross it over, and pull it under the right-hand section. Repeat the same step with the right-hand side, taking the small strand and pulling it under the left-hand section. Repeat these steps until the end of the braid and secure with a hair tie.
The Top Knot
Top knots are in! Rocked by celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Demi Lovato, top knots are simple and are fashioned by the use of various methods. One such method involves 5 simple steps. Pull hair up into a high ponytail. Divide the pony into 3 or 4 parts and tease each section for volume, unless the hair is naturally thick or wavy. Divide the pony into 2 sections and begin winding them around each other. After completing this step, wind the wrapped ponytail around itself to form a bun and secure with an elastic hair tie. Pin the base of the knot and fly aways with bobby pins. Spray with hairspray to complete the style.
With a little practice, all of these wedding hair styles are easily obtainable. Accessories add the perfect finishing touch to any of these styles. Pin in some flowers or add some hair jewelry for a little deco glam. 2013 wedding hair is about not being afraid to showcase some personality!
