How can you do it yourself?
Most of the girls who are chosen as the bride's friend think about how to do an evening hairstyle: use the services of a professional hairdresser or arrange styling yourself at home. If you give preference to the first option, then you need to agree in advance with the master, since such celebrations mainly fall on weekends.But at the same time, it is worth considering that the witness will have to be with the newlywed from the very early morning, help her dress and provide moral support. Therefore, it is best to opt for creating a hairstyle at home. Despite the fact that the process of decorating an evening hairstyle is complicated, it can be easily dealt with without a hairdresser, since a bridesmaid's wedding hairstyle should be simple.
Classic and quick styling is as follows:
- straight hair must be wound with a curling iron or curlers;
- weave braids, process them with varnish and carefully tie them at the back of the head with a satin ribbon;
- complement the styling with highlighted strands and beautiful hairpins.
A hairstyle with a ponytail will look no less attractive. To do this, the hair is washed, dried, then mousse is applied to it and curls are formed. All strands must be collected in one large tail and the styling must be fixed with invisible hairpins or hairpins. In this case, the hair should be twisted clockwise.
Owners of long hair can be styled with loose strands, for this they are given a wavy look. First, before such styling, you need to create volume in the root zone. This is done using a special powder. Hair is divided into separate curls, each of which is fixed with varnish or mousse. Then the strands are collected in a tourniquet and re-dried with a hairdryer, as a result, chic and wavy curls are obtained. At the place of the parting, it is recommended to pin the hair with decorative elements.
If the witness chose a voluminous braid as an evening styling, then you should practice with this hairstyle for several days. To get fluffy hair, you need to learn how to properly put strands under the bottom, especially after the back of the head is reached during the weaving process. At the end, the strands are collected in a beautiful shell-shaped bundle and fixed with decorative hairpins. In order for the styling to "hold out" all day long, it must be varnished with strong fixation.
Beauties with medium-length curls do not need to despair, because you can also make a beautiful and original styling of them yourself. The best option in this case is a high beam. The strands are carefully combed and, tilting the head down, collect the ponytail. Hair must be fixed with a thick elastic band, otherwise outwardly the bun will look ugly. Around the elastic, the strands are evenly distributed and fastened with pins. A few curls, released on the sides, will help to give romanticism.
A curly hairstyle is also a good choice. It can be done with or without a mesh. The styling begins from the middle of the head: a parting is formed from the center, the strand is fixed in a tourniquet. It can be arranged like a ringlet and decorated with a small flower bud. Do the same with all the strands. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the styling is not oversaturated with decorations. Two curls are produced on the sides.
