Wedding Hairstyles for Long Hair

Are you looking for wedding hairstyle inspiration? Then you’ve come to the right place! We’ve composed a list of the top wedding hairstyles for brides with long hair. From up-do’s to soft curls, explore which styles are the best match for your dream do’. Continue reading for more amazing wedding hairstyle ideas!

French Twist Up-Do

With long hair twisted into a low bun, this look is elegant and classic for any bride. You can modify this hairstyle to make it lighter and smoother by tugging pieces around the bun and the crown of the head for more volume. To frame the face, pull small strands from the front and lightly curl at the ends. This hairstyle gives us “royal wedding” vibes!

Half Up Half Down

Show off long hair with a half up and half down hairstyle. This style is easy to accomplish when a bride has longer hair, so that the longest pieces cascade down the back and the shorter pieces are carefully arranged at the top. Wedding Forward comments “It is preferable to comb the crown area a little bit, it will add some volume and beautifully emphasize the shape of the head.” And we definitely agree!

Mermaid Braids

Do you want a hairstyle that’s more romantic? Mermaid braids are the perfect choice. Although the braiding process may seem a bit more complicated, the results are gorgeous. Ask your hairstylist about hair extensions for added volume. The more hair, the better the braid is going to look (at least in our opinion). These braids can be personalized to your taste, depending on how sleek or “messy” you want your bridal hair to be.

Wedding Hairstyles for 2020

Are you still searching for the perfect do’ for your big day? From tousled tresses to an elegant twisted bun, brides have so many choices when it comes to hairstyles and accessories. Luckily for you, we’ve researched some hairdos that every bride will be wearing in 2020 for you to have some options to choose from. To see what we have on our list, continue reading!

Voluminous Tousled Waves

For full and beautiful locks, try wearing your hair down in tousled waves. This style will work for short hair or long hair, because when it comes to waves, the more volume, the better. Brides can achieve this look relatively simply, all you need is a little hairspray and a large barrel curling iron. By wrapping your hair around a larger barrel, the strands will come out wavy rather than curled. Make sure to spray directly afterwards for a stronger hold on your hair and brush out generously. For more volume, tease the crown of your head with a large comb and use hairspray to finish.

Half Up, Half Down

The modern version of the half up, half down hairstyle features more twists and less hair accessories. You’ll want to start by pinning the front portion of your hair back with a few bobby pins, leaving enough hair to curl at the bottom when you’re done. Purposely pin back and twist small pieces of hair until you’ve reached a desired look, and then take the remaining strands and tightly curl. After completing these steps, you’re left with a beautiful hairdo that was so easy to accomplish!

Boho Side Braid

Another elegant hairstyle, the boho side braid is trendy and always looks absolutely stunning on any bride. You don’t even have to worry about perfecting this look either because it’s meant to be a little messy. Get started by parting your hair to the side and piecing together a Dutch braid. Once you’re satisfied with the front, pull your hair in a ponytail and finish with a regular three-strand braid. Pro tip: hide your hair band with the leftover strands from your Dutch braid!

Elegant High Bun

One of the more complicated hairstyles on our list, the elegant high bun is still a beautiful hairdo that can be accomplished with patience and lots of hairpins. To replicate this look, carefully pull back the middle section of your hair to form a high bun and then wrap around the outside sections, repeating until the bun is full but loose. The front portion of your hair can be styled by creating a side part and twisting the hair back into your bun with bobby pins. Slightly pull the front and side pieces for more volume. Pro tip: Frame your face with curls for a softer look!

Conclusion

Hair Porosity: How Well Do You Really Know Your Hair?

Your hair is your crowning glory. You take care of it by washing and conditioning it, using the best styling products you know of to achieve the look you desire, and maybe by throwing in a special treatment to give your strands a boost in the right direction. You might know what products to use for hair based on the styles from popular magazines and makeover shows, but do you really know your hair and what it truly needs? To better understand what you need for an impeccable head of hair, you need to first understand your hair porosity. Then you should be able to choose the best products for your individual needs.

What is hair porosity?

Porosity can be defined as your hairs ability to accept and hold on to moisture. Moisture is everything if you want an amazing head of hair. Without the proper moisture your delicate strands need, they can become more prone to frizz, dryness, and breakage. When you understand your hair’s porosity, you can choose the proper hair care products to create the perfect do’ and enhance the health of your hair.

Types of Porosity

There are three types of hair porosity: Low, Normal, and High. You can naturally have a particular type of porosity, but constant hair manipulation can cause your hair to become more or less porous.

Low Porosity

Do you find yourself trying to saturate your hair with water longer than most people? If you walk through a mist of water, do you see water beaded up on your hair like flakes of snow? If so, then you most definitely have low porosity hair. This hair type is prone to products sitting on top of the hair instead of absorbing and tends to be on the drier side. This is due to the fact that your hair cuticles lie flat and are not lifted to accept much needed moisture. Oddly enough, your hair will take a long time to dry once it is fully saturated with water. Why? Because once water is able to finally penetrate the cuticle, the cuticle closes again trapping moisture.

Since this type of hair is the most delicate, it is important for the person to hydrate properly. Using water-soluble products is best and try to avoid heavy oils and products. Deep conditioning is a must for a lush, hydrated head of hair so make sure you deep condition with heat (such as with a hooded dryer, heat cap, etc.) to lift up your hair cuticles so the conditioner can penetrate effectively.

Normal (Medium) Porosity

If you have normal hair porosity, you are the envy of the town! Your hair type can easily accept moisture and you can even cocktail the type of products you use to suit your needs. The cuticles open and close easily when they need to, so water and products can penetrate just fine. Your haircare routine can change with the weather, so pay attention to your mane and give it what it needs!

High Porosity

Does your hair soak up moisture and products like it’s never soaked in them before? If so, your hair has high porosity, meaning your cuticles tend to stay open. Using heavy products can weigh your hair down quickly, so make sure to look for lightweight, silicon-free products to style and care for your hair.

How to Find out Your Porosity

Now that you know the general guidelines on hair porosity, you might have an idea about which category your hair falls under. But to find out for sure, there are a few different ways to perform a hair porosity test. Some easy, popular ways to determine your porosity are the water shed test or the hair strand test.

  • Water Shed Test

Wet a small section of hair with a spray bottle and watch how the water reacts with the hair. Is it sitting on top? Then you have low porosity hair. Is the water absorbed quickly? Then you have high porosity.

  • Hair Strand Test

Take a strand of hair and place it in a cup of clean water. If it floats, it is of low porosity. If it sinks to the bottom, it is of high porosity. If it floats to the middle, then it is of normal porosity.

Sometimes women have multiple types of hair porosity at once. If you suspect this, use separate cups of water and pick strands of hair from different sections of your head where textures seem to differ. This will help you tremendously with figuring out which products best suit your needs.

Conclusion

As you can see, the styling regimen that works for one person may not be the same for the next. In order to make that crown of yours shine and thrive, you need to pick out the right products to suit your low, normal, or high porosity needs.
