Hair How-To: Love Headband Hairstyles? This Low Wedding Updo is Elegant, On Trend, and *Super* Easy

Published by

True story: We can’t get enough of hair accessories–and we’re not alone. Headband hairstyles made a big comeback this summer, as celebs and style stars alike accessorized their manes with crown-like toppers. With nuptial season still in full swing, pairing the headband trend with a low updo for wedding hair is just well, bridal brilliance.

From our go-to hair guru, Erin Ryser, this wedding updo actually starts out as a half-up, half-down hairstyle. Just a simple roll and twist from the bottom, as well as a few strategically-placed pins, and it instantly transforms into an elegant style, the perfect low updo for wedding guests, bridesmaids, or the bride! Adding a gold beaded headband gives the classic look a modern accent. Timeless and on-trend? Sounds like a perfect match to us.

Whether you’re heading to a wedding or attending a special event like homecoming, elegant headband hairstyles like this one will make you feel like a queen. You’re basically wearing a tiara, right? To see how to do this regal ‘do for any event, scroll on for instructions and a complete low updo tutorial video!

Headband Hairstyle with Low Updo for Wedding:

  1. Smooth and gather the hair at the crown, twist and pin from both sides
  2. Gather the rest of the hair at the end, roll up and pin from sides until secure
  3. Pull on the hair for texture.
