Instructions:

  1. Part the hair to the side: Start by creating a sleek side part, laying the foundation for a beautifully balanced style.
  2. Separate a section at the front on the heavy side: This strategic sectioning adds dimension and frames your face elegantly, ensuring all eyes are on you as you walk down the aisle.
  3. Pull the rest of the hair into a low ponytail and twist up into a French twist: Gather the remaining hair into a low ponytail and expertly twist it up into a classic French twist, securing it with a clip.
  4. Weave jumbo bobby pins into the twist: To ensure your French twist stays in place all day and night, weave jumbo bobby pins vertically up the twist until it feels secure.
  5. Curl the ends and twist that section into place: Add a touch of romance by curling the ends of the twist and securing them into place with pins, shaping them to your desired look.
  6. Curl the front section away from the face: Create soft, face-framing curls by curling the front section away from your face, adding a hint of whimsy to your bridal look.
  7. Tease the roots for extra volume: For added drama and volume, tease the roots up about a half inch and smooth over the top, creating a lush, voluminous silhouette.
  8. Spray and smooth fly-aways: Finish off your look with a light spritz of hairspray to tame any flyaways and smooth out the overall style, leaving you with a polished, picture-perfect finish.
