Being a bridesmaid often feels akin to embodying the role of a superwoman. It demands the adept handling of various tasks, and amidst the whirlwind of festivities, personal grooming can easily take a backseat. However, as you prepare to stand beside your friend on her special day, ensuring a flawless hairstyle becomes paramount. To aid you in maintaining your stunning hairdos throughout the celebrations, Amy Johnson, the Global Head of Haircare Artistry at Dyson, shares some invaluable tips and tricks.
Opt for a sleek low ponytail for the cocktail event. Begin by gathering your hair into a neat low ponytail and securing it with a hair tie. Take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the base to conceal the tie. Utilize a dryer attachment in smoothing mode to tame any flyaways and achieve a polished finish. Enhance the hairstyle with pearly accessories for added elegance.
For the wedding evening, aim for a glamorous look with big, bold curls. Wear your hair down and accessorize with a sparkly hairpiece like a tiara or mang tika. Start with towel-dried hair and use the Coanda smoothing dryer to pre-dry. Then, divide your hair into sections and style into voluminous curls using a soft smoothing brush. Set with fixing spray and gently loosen the curls for the final touch.
For the wedding reception or afterparty, transform your big curls into an effortlessly chic messy bun. Gather your curled hair into a tousled bun and secure with hairspray and bobby pins. Leave some pieces out on both sides and curl them for an elegant yet relaxed look.
For the Mehendi ceremony, choose hairstyles that are simple yet comfortable, allowing for ease during the application process. Consider loose braids or soft curls. Divide your hair in half, creating a center part. Create inward-facing curls by manually winding small sections of hair. Alternate the direction of airflow to achieve outward-facing curls. Elevate the look with a mathapatti for a touch of glamour.
Transition your Mehendi look into a low bun for the Sangeet night. Use the firm smoothing brush of multi-styler to brush through your curls, loosening them. Secure the hair into a low ponytail at the back of the head and twist it into a bun, securing with hairpins and a holding spray. Manage frizz and flyaways with a bit of gel or oil. Complete the look with an embellished hairband for added allure.
If you have a morning Haldi ritual following the energetic Sangeet night, opt for a simple and sleek hairstyle. Brush your hair to remove tangles and section it into manageable pieces. Use a hair straightener to achieve sleekness from roots to ends.
