Finding the perfect wedding hairstyle is about more than just looking good—it’s about feeling confident and truly yourself. Whether you’re drawn to loose waves that dance with every step, sleek buns that add a touch of sophistication, or embracing your natural curls, the right style can elevate your look to a whole new level. We’ve gathered insights from top hair experts to bring you stunning yet easy wedding hairstyles that are as easy to achieve as they are beautiful.
1. Effortless curls or waves
THE EXPERT TAKE: “This season embraces effortless curls or waves, striking a balance between polished style and natural texture,” says Justin Rizzuto, creative director of Mane House of Hair L’Oréal Professional and Ys Park brand ambassador.
Here’s how to achieve this easy wedding hairstyle:
STEP 1: Apply a blow-dry lotion like L’Oréal Professionnel Fluidifier or Bouncy
& Tender to dry hair, ensuring thorough saturation of ends and porous areas.
STEP 2: Use a blow brush or diffuser technique to add volume, starting at the roots and focusing on creating movement in the mid-lengths and ends.
STEP 3: Lightly mist hair with a setting spray like L’Oréal Professionnel Pli. Using a curling iron, alternate wrapping sections of hair in different directions, ensuring to curl the ends for a more natural flow. For curly hair, employ the same method with an appropriately sized barrel to refine and enhance curls where needed.
2. Low buns
THE EXPERT TAKE: “The trend towards sleeker buns has emerged alongside the simplicity of contemporary wedding dresses,” says Rizzuto. “With the rise of form-fitting, sheer wedding gowns in recent years, the silhouette of updos has followed suit, becoming more streamlined to complement the overall shape of the dress.”
Always a classic look, you can easily create this wedding hairstyle by following these steps:
STEP 1: Apply L’Oréal Professionnel Air Fix hairspray to a styling brush. Brush your hair upwards from the nape of your neck, gathering it into a low ponytail. Coat your ponytail with hairspray for added control.
STEP 2: With your ponytail in hand, tightly twist it from root to end. For a subtle effect, twist the entire ponytail as a single section; for a more dramatic look, divide the ponytail into two sections and twist each one individually.
STEP 3: Take each twisted section and wrap it around the base of your ponytail, securing it with pins as you go. The aim is to create a narrow, refined bun, so perfection isn’t necessary, but the bun should maintain its sleek profile.

3. Curly cues
To embrace your curls for an effortless wedding hairstyle, follow these steps.
STEP 1: On freshly washed and conditioned hair, apply Oribe Curl Gelée for Shine and Control on small sections of the hair.
STEP 2: Take the hair section with the product and twist each section around your finger to encourage the natural pattern of the curl. Lightly release without interrupting the curl and move on to the next section.
STEP 3: Allow hair to fully air dry.
STEP 4: Once hair is completely dry, apply Oribe Gold Lust Dry Heat Protection Spray from roots to ends to condition and nourish for silky soft strands.
STEP 5: Flip your head upside down, take your fingers and lightly massage your roots to create volume without interrupting your beautiful curls.
4. Heatless braided waves
Heat can wreak havoc on your hair, but you can follow these steps and easily style some beautiful waves.
STEP 1: On freshly washed and towel-dried hair, section into 2-inch squares. Twist each section and clip away.
STEP 2: Apply Oribe Hair Alchemy Heatless Styling Balm onto each section and braid from roots to ends. Secure the ends with a loose elastic and continue with the rest of the sections.
STEP 3: Allow hair to fully air dry.
STEP 4: Once the hair is completely dry, mist each section with Gold Lust Dry Heat Protection Spray to condition from roots to ends.
STEP 5: Gently undo the braids and separate the braids with your fingers. Style to your liking.
5. Put a bow on it
THE EXPERT TAKE: The “it” hair accessory of the year, bows are the perfect embellishment, and there’s no better time to show one off than at a wedding. To flaunt the look, it’s best to use products that deliver extra smoothness and shine, bringing out the best of natural hair.
HOW TO: Make sure wedding hair is smooth and free from flyaways. Start with a lightweight, oil-free formula that will leave your hair fresh, conditioned, and silky-smooth, such as TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Weightless Leave-In Lotion. Finish with Keratin Smooth Weightless Shine Serum.
