Bridesmaid Hair Ideas 

Before you narrow down your options for bridesmaid hairstyles, ask the bride if she has a vision for what she wants her bridal party look to be. Does she want everyone to have the same wedding bridesmaid hair, or is ok that everyone mixes up their bridesmaid hairstyles? Keep in mind the venue as well before deciding. Is it a fancy upscale affair that requires an elegant bridesmaid hairstyle, or will it be on the beach with low-key hair styles for bridesmaids?  

Try one of these easy bridesmaid hairstyles at the upcoming nuptials: 

Sleek Ponytail 

If you’re headed to a big city wedding, maybe at a high-rise hotel or rooftop setting, this pulled-together look is simple yet polished. There’s something powerful and sophisticated about this bridesmaid hair up style. 

Get the Look: 

1. Part your hair however you like—this style looks just as stunning with a middle or side part or completely slicked back.  
   
   
2. Gather all of your hair into a ponytail at the back of your head. If you have longer hair, go for the high ponytail. If you’re rocking shorter strands, go for middle or low.  
   
   
3. Smooth out flyways and add shine with hairspray or hair serum for that finishing touch.  

Loose Bun Updo 

For the brides who are having a rustic barn wedding or a small backyard affair, go for the loose bun for boho hair styles for bridesmaids. This DIY updo looks flattering on everyone and is simply stunning!  

Get the Look: 

1. Pull your hair back into a low ponytail and keep it slightly loose.  
   
   
2. Take small strands of hair from the ponytail and loop each at the base and add a bobby pin to keep it in place. 
   
   
3. Continue the previous step until you’ve achieved that perfect loose bun look. 
   
   
4. Frame your face with a couple of strands of hair to complete this style.  

Simple Waves 

As far as easy bridesmaid hairstyles go, it doesn’t get easier than this (and it’s a classic go-to look for long-flowing hair!) This versatile style is both elegant and effortless at the same time, so it goes with all types of themed weddings.  

Get the Look: 

1. Spray your hair with a heat protectant spray and allow it to dry. 
   
   
2. Section your hair into four sections (top, bottom, left, and right.) 
   
   
3. Use a curling iron (never exceed 350°F when curling hair extensions) to curl 1 to 2-inch sections at a time and hold for 3 to 4 sections before releasing the curl. 
   
   
4. Spritz your curls with a light hairspray and gently run your fingers through them to break them up a bit.  

Textured Ponytail 

If you’re looking for more casual bridesmaid hair ideas, a textured ponytail will give you a fun and edgy look. Bust out your moves on the dance floor without worrying about your hair getting in the way! 

Get the Look:  

1. If you have day-old waves from the night before, this look is ready to style! If not, give a spritz of texturizing spray to add a bit more grit to your strands. 
   
   
2. Pull your hair into a high-ponytail (don’t worry if it’s a bit bumpy or wavy on top, it’s meant to be more of a messy look) 
   
   
3. Take a piece of your ponytail hair and wrap it around your hair elastic to take this style up a notch. Then spray with hairspray to finish this look!
