Sometimes it appears that most wedding hairstyles are geared toward those with long hair — think cascading waves and long braids — but there are plenty of pretty wedding hairstyles for short hair, too. It doesn’t matter if you have a pixie or a bob, or are looking for a gorgeous updo, there’s a style out there that can add the perfect finishing touch to your big day look.
If you’re looking for a wedding hairstyle for your short hair, keep reading because we’re sharing our favorite short hairstyles perfect for a wedding — from updos for short strands to buns and more.
1. Boho Pixie
Nothing says laidback wedding quite like a boho bride. For brides with short hair, consider the boho pixie. This carefree, tousled look works best with pixie cuts that feature a little extra length on top to shine a spotlight on the bride’s natural hair texture.
To maximize your hair’s natural curl patterns or to give straight hair a little extra wave, apply the L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle CURVE IT Elastic Curl Mousse to damp hair.
2. Low Bun
If you’re a minimalist, consider wearing a low bun — one of our favorite wedding updos for short hair. Bun hairstyles leave your face in focus and can be pulled together in a matter of minutes.
You can leave it loose and lived-in or slick it back for a sleek look using the L’Oréal Paris Studio Line Mega Gel and an edge brush.
3. Sleek Pixie
This slicked-back look is the ultimate high fashion ‘do and is perfect for a black-tie affair. Best of all, the chic style is outrageously simple to do yourself.
After washing and towel-drying your hair, apply a quarter-sized dollop of hair gel and brush your hair back from the hairline to the nape of your neck.
4. Wavy Bob
Bobs are a chic, classic style that work for almost every occasion, including your wedding day. This wavy look serves up the right amount of playfulness with the perfect touch of elegance.
If you have natural waves, let your authentic texture shine. If not, use a curling wand to create loose mermaid waves.
