Long hairstyles for brides

It's interesting:
"Now, I think you'll agree, after seeing the amount of free booze available at this wedding, that it's a good job it's a Bank Holiday this weekend. And if you do ..."

Whether you've always had long hair or you grew your tresses out for your wedding, you want to choose a hairstyle specifically suited to your long locks. Long hair gives you the advantage of numerous possible styles, but your long hair will also take longer to style and your hairdresser may charge more for that added time. Have a "hair trial" to work out any kinks or make style adjustments before your big day.

Does this Spark an idea?

1. Fingerwave

   • A finger wave is a classic 1940s Hollywood look that works well with long hair. Bring pictures of silent film starlets such as Greta Garbo, Clara Bow and Billie Dove to your hairstylist for inspiration. Use plenty of hairspray and setting gel to keep your glamorous waves in place.

   Bun or Chignon

   • A tight bun or chignon is a relatively easy do-it-yourself hairstyle for long hair. In a chignon, you roll your hair like in a bun, but you wear the roll in a "U" shape at the nape of your neck. Secure your bun or chignon with bobby pins in your hair color.

   Partial Updo

   • A partial updo is a great choice if you want to pull part of your hair away from your face but let your long hair cascade down your back. Let ringlets of curls dangle in front of your ears to frame your face and help conceal large or protruding ears.

   Formal Updo

   • A French twist, upsweep with curls and a braided updo are three choices if you want to wear all of your hair up in a formal hairstyle. Formal updos for long hair will generally require at least an hour of work by a professional hairstylist.

   Curls

   • Long, smooth or flowing curls are a romantic look for long hair. Divide your hair into sections and curl with a spiral curling iron to create this look on your own. If you're wearing a veil, choose a veil that is longer than your hair.
