- This look is easiest to achieve on “second day hair.”
- It may go against all your instincts to not wash your hair on your wedding day, but it will save you a lot of time both in the shower and the styling chair!
- If you’re doing your own hair, use a large-barrel curling iron
2. Curls pulled back

- While there are ways to get these ringlets naturally, if you’re in a rush you can use a ringlet barrel curling iron

Have you ever seen anything prettier than this bride’s curls? The pop of color is amazing! The ombre tone makes her curls pop even more.
- The ombre look is best achieved by going to a professional, unless you have a friend who is insanely good with hair color.
- Don’t want to commit to permanent hair color? Try something like Splat
. Just be careful, that stuff stains like crazy!
- Whatever you use to color it, dye your hair at least a week before your wedding to give the excess dye time to wash out. Trust me, no matter how long I rinse, I still have dye coming out in the shower for days afterward!
4. Side-swept curls
