Looking for wedding hair ideas from the red carpet? Whether you're a guest or a bride looking for last minute inspiration, hairstylist to the stars, Asgar Saboohere, has all the summer hair inspiration you need.
1. The headwrap chain
If you want to add an exotic vibe to your look, wear a headwrap chain. The style options are endless, ranging from big stones and crystal to the delicate ones with small chains and bells. If your client has smaller facial features, then I recommend opting for a more delicate and subtle head chain, while those with bigger features can get away with a more extravagant look. You can choose to match the chain with hair tied up in a bun, but this accessory looks best when the hair is left down and flowing. Also make sure that the hair is parted in the middle, since symmetry is important for this accessory to look glamorous and exotic.
2. Half updo
This is a lovely romantic hairdo that’s elegant but actually very low maintenance. Loosely gather the top half of the hair and pin it in place. Make sure there is a little volume at the top, otherwise it will end up looking flat and limp; don't forget to do some gentle backcombing if necessary. For this style, I recommend using bobby pins that are similar to your client's hair colour, so that the effect is more subtle. Don’t forget to use hairspray to keep the hair in place and avoid humidity. Add a flower chain or a string of pearls to add to that romantic bohemian vibe, which is something we are seeing more on celebrities who want to bring a fresh take to their wedding look.
3. Messy twisted braid
This hairstyle is perfect for women with thick hair, which is very common with my clients from the Middle East and India. While it can look great, humidity and sweat means that it can be troublesome during the summer. To get this look, gather all your hair and braid it loosely. Don’t be worried if your client has a lot of flyways - it adds to the charm of the hairstyle - but make sure that you add bobby pins so the braid stays in place. If you want to take the hairstyle a step further, add some flowers. You can find brightly coloured flowers all over the world that look gorgeous when you braid them into your hair. Make sure that when you pick the flowers that they have a small stem at the bottom for you to use. This is a very bold hair style, so pair it with some subtle earrings and let the hair make a gorgeous statement by itself.
4. French twist
This is a hairstyle that suits all hair textures and brings glamour to any bride’s look. Grab all the hair into a low pony and twist it all around, twice. Tuck the ends inside the twist and secure firmly with bobby pins – that’s how simple this style is to do. You can customise this hairstyle according to how much volume your client wants around their face. You could also accessorize by wearing a headband or a hair comb at the back. If you want, you can even tuck some flowers beneath the twist, which gives the style a little edge and modernity. However, it’s really important to ensure that you use enough bobby pins to keep the hair firmly in place. Adding some hairspray is all you need to fix the hair once this is done.
5. Side parted braid bun
This is a very popular hairdo which shows off great facial features and is especially perfect for those with straight hair. It is a very easy style and barely takes five minutes - all you have to do is part your hair on the side and braid it tightly. If you want to make the braid look more intricate and elaborate, try a fishtail braid or the mermaid braid, which brings a great modern twist. Then wrap the braid around and pin it neatly into a bun with several bobby pins. If you want to add an additional oomph factor, use bedazzled bobby pins or fresh flowers which match the bouquet. A hair accessory like a hair comb can also be pinned on the top of the bun for a nice sophisticated effect.
