There’s a reason half-up, half-down wedding hairstyles are forever favorites–well, several reasons, actually. A ‘do that keeps your strands out of your face while still letting some of your locks flow strikes the perfect balance between pretty and practical. Plus, this romantic look never goes out of style and works no matter the season. Needless to say, half-up, half-down hair is always a wedding win, and the bridal hair tutorial ahead gives it a fun twist–literally.
From makeup and hair artist extraordinaire, Erin Ryser, this dreamy ‘do is ideal for babes who want the elegance of an updo without going totally formal. Depending on your vibe, an ultra-fancy full updo can sometimes feel too fussy or just not you. With a side part, loose waves, and a slightly undone look, this half-up, half-down hairstyle is wedding-worthy and relaxed at the same time. Sound good? Yeah, we think so too.
Hidden bobby pins keep the twist in place and ensure this wedding hairstyle looks just as good coming and going. Whether you’re a low-key bride who’s doing her own hair or you’re having a glam squad take over, check out the hair tutorial steps ahead to see how it’s done.
Bridal Hair Tutorial Steps:
- Tease the roots of the hair at the crown, then smooth over the top to hide the tease.
- Run your fingers through the hair as you apply medium hold spray.
- Smooth and gather the hair at the crown, twist as additional sections are added from each side until the desired amount of hair is gathered for half-up style.
- Secure the twist with bobby pins from the side, then crisscross pins up and down
- Pull on the hair for texture.
