Whether you want to look like a free spirit or an elegant princess on your wedding day, you need to know which hairstyle will work best for you. Looking for the top bridal hairstyle trends of 2016 is an easy way to get an idea of what other brides looked like on their wedding days and which styles work best with different dress types. After looking over those trends, think about the theme of your wedding, the design of your dress, and your comfort level. The best style is one that works with all other aspects of your big days and one that highlights your face.
Hippie Chic
After looking at the bridal hairstyles found on red carpets and runways, Glamour picked the hippie chic as one of the top trends for the new year. This style works best with dresses that are a little more casual and simpler weddings both indoors and outdoors. You take a small section of hair from the left side of your head and create a small braid before repeating with a section on the opposite side. You then twist or braid the two sections together at the back of your head.
Sleek Updo
The updo is one hairstyle that never seems to go out of style. You can go all the way back to the 1920s and even earlier and still see women wearing their hair pulled back in a simple chignon, Bridal Guide spotted the trend on hundreds of brides, including those celebrating their big day on a beach, in a four star hotel and everywhere in between. While the look only requires that you pull your hair back, twist the hair and use some accessories to keep it from moving, you can customize your look in various ways.
Simple Pony
Feel comfortable all night and look more natural with a simple pony. A lower ponytail with your hair gathered at the nape of your neck gives you a simpler look. “If you want something more dramatic, go with a high ponytail right at the top of your head,” said Essence Salon.
Brilliant Curls
If you have naturally curly hair, you are right on trend for 2016. Bold and brilliant curls are popular with women who want to feel comfortable and not spend the night constantly checking their hair in the bathroom. A small amount of gel applied while your hair is still wet will retain those bouncy curls all night long. You can also use an enhancing serum that helps bring out your natural curls. A simple headband or tiara can really complete the look, but you may just let your hair take center stage.
Bohemian Bride
Go bohemian with nothing more than a simple flower crown. Whether you hair is straight, curly or wavy, you can rock this look. Use a nourishing serum to keep your hair hydrated and silky smooth. Place a small crown or wreath of roses or other flowers around your head before walking down the aisle.
With these hairstyles, you can be right on trend for a 2016 wedding.
