It’s May already, which means if you aren’t in the thick of planning your own wedding, graduation, or prom party, you are surely planning on attending someone else’s. Yes, this is the season of preparing for special events. So, what’s the latest in hairstyles? Here’s a peek into what’s turning heads this season.
Picture-Perfect Graduation Hairstyles to Wear with a Cap or at the Prom
- Chic, messy low ponytail: If you want to look stylish without showing that you have put in a lot of effort, then this hairstyle is perfect for you. To create this look, tie your hair low while ensuring it’s not too tight. Leave some hair out to frame your hair. Create interest by adding texture with soft, loose waves, and voila, your hair is ready to don the grad cap.
- Cascading waves: Start by applying a lightweight serum or leave-in conditioner to keep your hair looking shiny and healthy. Then, use a curling iron to create loose waves from mid-length to the ends, and you’re ready to turn on effortless glam with this amazing graduation hairstyle.
- Casual bubble ponytail: Trendy and effortless, this style is simple to create. Part your hair as usual, tie a loose section at the crown with an elastic, and wrap a strand around it to hide the band. About two inches below, gather more hair from both sides, tie it with another elastic, and conceal it the same way. Continue this pattern till you add all your hair from the sides to form “bubbles,” gently tugging each for volume. Leave a few strands out in front for a soft, relaxed finish.
Stunning Wedding Hairstyles for the Bride and Her Guests
- Elegant top knot: Looking for a wedding hairstyle that goes well with your wedding gown and looks elegant? The top knot is a chic, minimalistic choice that adds height, volume, and sophistication. Just tie your hair neatly in a high ponytail and twist it into a bun. Leave out some stray strands if you prefer a softer touch. Finally, add hairspray to keep it in place. This style accentuates your neckline and goes well with a veil, hair accessories, and statement earrings.
- Deconstructed chignon for curly hair: Perfect for medium-length curly hair, create this soft, romantic wedding hairstyle that embraces the texture and volume of your curls. Start by applying curl cream or a leave-in to enhance texture and reduce frizz. Then, gather all your hair at the nape of your neck or slightly to one side and loosely tie it. Twist the ponytail loosely into a low bun, while ensuring some curls fall out for a natural, deconstructed feel. Pull some sections around the bun to create a soft, romantic look. Finish and set the look with hairspray.
- Half-up braided halo: Another soft and romantic hairstyle, perfect for any wedding, is the half-up braided halo. Start by creating soft waves in the lower sections of your hair with the help of a curling wand. Take a 2–3-inch section of hair from just above each ear and create two loose three-strand braids. Create regular or fishtail braids, depending on your preference. Secure with an elastic. Wrap the braids across the back of your head like headbands. Secure them with bobby pins, hiding the ends under the opposite braid. Add hair accessories or spring flowers for a romantic look.
