If you are a DIY bride on a budget that needs a sleek and chic hairdo for your wedding day, you can be on the “best tressed list” without hiring a team of stylists or a glam squad.

Whether you choose a curly and elegant style, or prefer a classic updo or chignon, you need a beauty arsenal of three totally wearable looks that you can do at home.

With the following hairdos and DIY wedding hairstyles, you’ll be sure to wow the crowd and present your best and most beautiful self on your wedding day. Here’s how:

DIY Wedding Hairstyle Tip#1 – Be a curly girl

For long, straight or shoulder-length hair, add a few loose curls or pinup waves like Marilyn Monroe or Kim Kardashian. Start with day-after-shampoo hair. Starting from the center of your crown, curl hair with a 1-inch barrel curling iron to create cascading curls.

For softer curls, lightly comb with your fingers to create a sexy and relaxed look. Remember: long and tousled curls for a wedding are romantic and playful hairstyles.

DIY Wedding Hairstyle Tip#2 -Try a glamorous updo

This classic bridal hairstyle seems difficult to execute, but with a few days of practice, you can create an updo in less than 30 minutes.  For medium length to long hair, roller set your hair the day before the wedding. On the morning of your wedding, comb hair with your fingers.

Loosely pile the hair on the top of your head into a high ponytail. Secure hair with hairpins and hairspray. If you are having an outdoor wedding, this popular hairstyle can help you beat the heat without during a long day of celebrating and taking photos.

DIY Wedding Hairstyle Tip#3 – Straighten hair for a sleek and elegant look

A wedding day blowout needs the right tools to make sure that your hair stays smooth during the wedding ceremony and reception festivities. After washing and conditioning your hair, blow out your hair completely with a hair dryer with medium heat.

Flat iron your hair with a FHI heat runway irons or ghd straighteners. Both products might be pricey, but these tools won’t burn your strands and can straighten hair from roots to tips with a single pass of the iron.
