Great wedding hair takes inspiration, vision, and exceptional planning skills, all of which are generously possessed by Nick Malenko and Royston Blythe.
Their latest bridal hairstyles collection includes romantic updos, modern high-impact styles, and chic elegance. In short, something for every bride.
Wedding Updo with a Pile of Curls
This model's hair was set on heated rollers and then brushed out. The hair is lightly backcombed at the roots and mid-lengths before being swept up into a high ponytail at the crown. The outer hair is smoothed with a comb before creating a quiff at the front.
The ends of the ponytail are pulled out and lightly backcombed in sections before being dressed into a pile of curls.
Wedding Hairstyle with a Twisted Chignon
This model's hair was divided into five distinct sections around the head. Two sections are worked on the low side of the sweeping parting to create a twisted chignon, while the three remaining sections are worked together to create a larger twisted looped chignon behind the ear.
Bridal Hairstyle with a Bun
This session-inspired hairstyle was created by sectioning off the fringe area in front of the crown and dividing the back section into two large and one small ponytail at the crown. The first large section is backcombed with the fingers and then twisted into a large bun and secured; this process is repeated for the second large section.
The smaller central section is backcombed at the roots and mid-lengths, pinned forward, and then turned back over itself, with the ends secured under the section at the back of the head. The fringe section is swept across the forehead, loosely over the ear, and secured into the bun.
The hair on the other side is swept back and secured at the section at the back of the head. Some strands of hair are teased out and backcombed with the fingers.
Wedding Hair with Extensions
This long, textured wedding hairstyle was created using extensions. The hair was backcombed at the roots to give height. Narrow sections of hair were twisted around a pin and then clamped with irons to set. A similar effect can be achieved with crimping. The hair was lightly combed through and dressed out with the fingers.
Wedding Hairstyle with Curls
Narrow sections of hair are set on large rollers at the crown and smaller rollers as you work down the head. Once set, each section is gently raked through and styled away from the face. The hair is lightly backcombed at the roots for volume, while a light mist of hairspray holds the tumbling curls.
