Last week, I shared a fun wedding style with a formal bridesmaid style dress. You can see that post here. I am back to share a tutorial on how to get the side-pinned curls that I wore in that post!
This is a very feminine and easy wedding hairstyle. It looks like it took a long time, but its very minimal effort.
I drew my inspiration from Aria/Lucy Hale because... do I need a reason!? She's a total babe.
You'll need:
beach babe cream (I use whenever my hair dries naturally), 'pink addiction' 12 benefits serum, and hairspray (I currently like tresemme).
lots of bobby pins
a close-up of pink addiction (aka the best thing to ever happen to my hair)
Start with wet or untreated hair. I use Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Cream on my wet hair anytime I let it dry naturally. It's does amazing stuff, but that's for another post.
Once your hair is dry, smooth pink addiction serum through all parts. This stuff is seriously my favorite hair product ever. It makes it so soft and silky, and easy to work with.
Begin pinning your hair back with bobby pins. Start at the crown, about an inch away from your ear in the back. Every time you put in a bobby pin, cross another one over it for extra hold. Make sure that the hair on top of your hair from your part isn't too tight. You want your hair to be secured, but you also want a little bit of volume, if that makes sense.
Keep your wand at a fairly low heating setting. I never go higher that 330 degees, even though I have really thick hair because I like loose curls much better than tight curls.
Start curling your hair. Hold the wand downwards when wrapping hair around it. Create wide spaces between wrapped strands of hair- this and the low temperature will create looser curls. I only hold for about 5-10 seconds per strand, depending on how thick it is. Play around with it and you'll get a feel for the best way to use the wand on your hair.
If some curls are tighter than others (they most likely will be), run your fingers through your hair to make them looser. The key is loose curls for this romantic wedding look. This is not a Shirley Temple look!
The final product:
Throw a fun headband on for an even more finished and feminine look!
I hope this tutorial was helpful and that the directions were clear! What kind of wedding hairstyles do you like to wear!?
