Brides want to feel their natural selves on their big day, which may mean making subtle hair color adjustments before their ceremony – even if that means simply changing their parting or adding some highlights.
Sun-kissed balayage highlights are an increasingly popular choice among brides-to-be because they add depth and dimension to your locks. Balayage highlights are versatile and can highlight face-framing bangs combined with baby lights – more minor, finer highlights nearer your roots – for maximum impact.
Half-Up Half-Down
Half-up, half-down looks are timeless classics that can be dressed up or down depending on the accessories used. Take this dimensional blonde with easily twisted locks to prom night glam by adding sea salt spray for defined curls and some bobby pins for gripping power, along with Got2B Glued water-resistant finishing hairspray like Got2B Glued’s stronghold water-resistant finishing hairspray to protect from frizzing while keeping hair in place all night long!
If you have a wedding gown with an open back and lace or boat neckline, try styling it this way to highlight its striking lines and shoulders. Temur suggests pairing an updo hairstyle to further show off its incredible neckline.
Medium-haired ladies can create this lovely style by pulling up half their strands into a ponytail and leaving the other half loose with cascading curls. Finish off the look by adding some strategically placed flowers.
Ombre Highlights
If you like the idea of a half-up, half-down hairstyle but want it to be different from that famous in the 80s, ask your stylist about ombre highlights. This coloring technique utilizes darker tones that blend more subtly than pastel hues commonly seen today, creating shimmery highlights on jet-black locks for an eye-catching effect.

If you are a dark brunette looking to go the ombre route, schedule your dyeing appointment early. Achieving an effective yet subtle result might require more bleaching than with lighter hues; to minimize time-consuming efforts, try going for a sad or ecaille shade; it starts closer to your roots while smoothing over any abrupt transitions between natural hair color and bleached ends.
