Create a Vintage Wedding Hairstyle in 5 Easy Steps

Take your hair from basic to beautiful with a goof-proof vintage wedding hairstyle.

If your wedding gown’s neckline  is covered with roses, beading or lace, an elegant vintage hairstyle complements your gown beautifully.

In fact, for brides with long or medium-length hair, a bouffant or classic french twist updo is an elegant hairstyle option for a casual outdoor wedding or a formal affair.

For the budget-seeking bride who needs to skip the pricey salon visit, you can coil and twist your hair into a vintage updo hairstyle for your own special walk down the aisle.

• Step 1 - Wash and condition your medium-length or long hair with products formulated for your hair type.
• Step 2 -  Apply a pea-sized amount of texturizing cream to your damp strands. Rake hair with a wide tooth comb to distribute the product evenly from roots to tips.
• Step 3 - For naturally curly hair blow hair dry with a diffuser attachment. If you have naturally thin or super-straight hair, dry your strands with a blow dryer. Using a 1- to 2-inch curling iron, create curls all over your head — starting at the forehead and ending at the nape of the neck

• Step 4 - Flip your long or medium-length hair upside down. Apply a quick spritz of hairspray to dry strands to create texture and prevent small hairpins from falling out of your vintage updo.
• Step 5 - Release the small or medium curls with fingers to add body and volume. Twist your hair into a small chignon at the nape. Secure the small ballerina bun with hair pins. Spritz your hair with a glossing spray to add  shine to your vintage updo.

Final Tips For Your Perfect Vintage Wedding Hairstyle

1. Spray your hair with a light-hold hairspray to make sure your vintage updo stays in place during the wedding  and your reception.
2. To vary the shape of your vintage wedding updo, wind your hair more tightly or loosely, or frame your face by pulling a few loose strands around your temples and near your ears.
3. Looking for inexpensive hair appliances online? You can find a great selection of these items at Image Beauty, an online retailer of affordable beauty supplies and cosmetics. They carry Hot Tools curling irons, flat irons and hair dryers to help you create your perfect wedding day style.
