Short bridal hairstyles

The traditional image of a bridal hairstyle is always the bun or similar up do. Where does this leave women with shorter hair? As many women these days prefer to keep short hair, a bevy of short bridal hairstyles have cropped up as well.

Well known stylists recommend that women with short hair use the best feature of their hair and face to make their own style. After all, every bride wants to be unique in her dress and hair. However, wedding is the most special, tender and magical moment of a woman’s life. The hairstyle also has to retain that element of romance. Naturally, going for new age, jazzy hairstyle that you wear to office or party is not a good idea.

Another mistake that many brides do is going for a brand new haircut the day before the wedding. Unless you are sure of your stylist’s prowess, it is better to try on a haircut that you have tried before and style it. Even on styling, it is better to stick to a more mature and traditional look, rather than going for some wild new style. It is unlikely that the bride will have time to restyle and it will become a bad hair lifetime rather than just a bad hair day.

While all these may sound like it is hard to style a short bridal hair do, actually the bridal hairstyle has many advantages over the traditional hairstyles. This is one occasion where the stylists can get away by weaving colorful and sparkling stones or sequins in the hair and creating that fairy tale look.
If the bride wants a traditional hair do, it is possible to do that even with short hair. Stylist can use a knot and clip style to create a false impression of a twisted up do. However, this cannot be done on hair shorter the 3 inches. It is also possible to use false hair to create the illusion, but it is likely that every one present will know it is false and that won’t go down very well with the bride.

However, it is always better to stick your own hair and use its features. For instance women with wavy short hair may find styling quite easy. Soft and sensuous waves are perfect for the bridal look. The natural waves can be enhanced using large rollers to create long ringlets instead of fizzy curls. The effect should be wispy curls framing the face.

For women with short curly hair, short bridal hairstyle can be done even at home. Either the style can enhance the already present curls or use straightening gel on the front and on the bangs to create a fanned out look behind, which can be styled nicely using the veil. Soft ringlets falling around the face is always a elegant look as well.

Short bridal hairstyles for curly hair can be accessorized with stones and clips. If using stones, place the stones in each lock, creating a shimmering halo effect all around the face. Otherwise, use faux diamond studded tiara or band to hold hair off the forehead, letting the curls escape and fall around the face.

While no one might consider fizzy, messy hair as an option in short bridal hairstyles, but it is actually quite easy to style. If the bride has naturally messy hair, cut short, a last minute trim with a razor should give it a good texture. The hair can then be styled using gels or waxes. They can be pulled back in a tight ponytail or clipped high with the messy hair fanning out behind. Even messy hair kept loose can be beautiful with added stones or a tiara.

Accessorizing is the key to short bridal hairstyles. Jeweled combs, tiara, head bands, snaps – bring them all out and use them to accentuate the natural styles. Feathers and laces are also okay to use in short bridal hairstyles. With the right haircut, even short bridal hairstyles can be as elegant and romantic as any traditional style.
