Five Bridal Hair Ideas for Short Hair
If you got short hair put your hands up! You might be tempted to start growing out your hair as soon as there is a sniff of a proposal in the air, but a short do doesn’t mean less fun when it comes to wedding hair creations. There are plenty of ways to create a beautiful looks, while keeping your statement shortie style and looking like the ‘you’ your other half fell in love with on your wedding day.
Soft and timeless
Soft, bouncy curls are timeless, romantic and frame your face beautifully, so you’ll feel picture perfect all day. This style is perfect for brides who usually wear their hair in bob, and you can choose between a classic middle parting or side part for that extra added volume depending on your face shape. Speak to your stylist during your wedding trial and ask to play with different looks to find the perfect style for your hair type.
Accessories, accessories, accessories
From flowers and jewels to veils and bows, rocking a bridal headpiece will bring a bit of oomph to any hair style. Accessories can add a pop of colour or sparkle to your look and are perfect for brides that want to stand out from the crowd. Subtle flower accessories are gorgeous on spring brides and we are loving the rise of statement hair pieces like crystal-encrusted hair combs or elaborate headbands. Hair vines designed for shorter styles an be secure with smaller combs or grips such as this beautiful example from Eva-Mae Jewellery.
Get swept away
A longer side-swept look can look casually chic and bohemian, while a shorter back-swept do is dramatic and even a little gorgeously gothic. Go for a layered shag if you want to create some movement in your look and invest in some texturising spray to get those pieces under control. If you’re rocking a pompadour, sweep your hair to the side and pair with a sharp fade for a look with extra edge!
A subtle short braid
We see you, boho queen! Don’t let long-haired brides have all the fun when it comes to braids! A twisted braid at the front is easy to achieve, holds your look together all day and gives the illusion of thick hair and texture while still looking put together. A crown braid looks great on lob length hair and pairs beautifully with a classic look and castle setting!
Pixie perfect
With super-short hair it’s all about finding the right cut for your face-shape. A sleek crop is perfect for minimalist brides, while gradient bangs or a deep side parting adds an unexpected something extra to the style. Play with asymmetrical look and longer layers if your hair has natural curls or a wave. Pixie or French cuts don’t have to miss out on veils either – a birdcage veil will frame your face while still allowing you to show off your structured style.
