Flat Twists With a Veil

Flat twists are a great way to add a romantic touch to your look, and pairing them with a veil knocks things out of the park. Best of all, twists are super easy to style, making this a go-to pick for your big day. 

Get the look: Start by dividing your hair into two sections, making sure the top half is a bit smaller than the bottom half. Clip the bottom portion out of the way, then split the top layer into two further sections. Twist both sections back until they meet behind your head, then secure their ends with one small hair elastic. Release the bottom layer of your hair, and place your veil at the center of your twists, then you’re all set to walk down the aisle.

Pearl-Embellished Twists 

Looking to add some glam to your wedding day look? You may want to give pearl-embellished flat twists a try. Super feminine with a sophisticated touch, this ‘do will give your look a little extra oomph that won’t go unnoticed. 

Get the look: Start by creating two flat twists just as we described above, but instead of using an elastic to tie them off, clip your twists at the center of your head with bobby pins before releasing the bottom layer of your hair. Slip pearl hair pins throughout your twists for the perfect finishing touch.

Half-Up Twists With Natural Curls

Want to wear your natural hair on your wedding day? This look is all about highlighting your textured strands, and once you see the end result, you’ll be totally smitten. 

Get the look: Kick things off by distributing an egg-sized amount of curl cream, like the L’Oréal Paris Dream Lengths Curls Dreamy Curls Leave-in Conditioner With Hyaluronic Acid and Castor Oil, through your strands. Scrunch and allow your mane to air dry.

Once your hair is fully dry, divide it into two even sections and clip the bottom half out of the way. Part the top half into two sections, and set one side out of the way. Gather your strands at the start of your hairline, twist from the root to the ends, and secure with a hair tie. Repeat on the other side. Combine both twists at the center of your head and secure them with bobby pins. Let the bottom half of your hair down and fluff your natural curls.
