Bridal hairstyle for short hair: create a “fake bun”
If you have a short or mid-length bob, you can use hair extensions to create the bridal hairstyle of your choice. The trend this year? THE sleek low buns, which give a very elegant look and lengthen the head shape. “There are many styling techniques for playing “fake buns”, you can cheat with extensions which are applied during the hairstyle with barrettes and are removed very easily afterwards. They are made from 100% natural hair and have a wide choice of colors, which offers a very natural result.” explains the hairdresser.

These hair extensions can allow you to create other hairstyles: half updos, ponytails, braids or banana bun. You can also choose to leave your hair down and create beautiful wavy or “Hollywood waves” waves.
Short cut: work on your hair texture to create a sophisticated bridal hairstyle
“While working on hair in wavy, with a glossy effect or, on the contrary, out of the ocean, we will play on the texture” explains Camille. A job that is entirely achievable on a short pixie cut, a bixie cut or even a ball cut which often have more length on the top of the head. If you have a ball cut or more length at the nape, you can also work on a wet look effect which will bring an ultra-sophisticated and glamorous touch to your bridal hairstyle.

Accentuating the volume of your short cut can also be a good idea to bring a spectacular and sophisticated effect to your hairstyle. You can work on the volume from the roots, when drying, using texturizing products, then when styling using backcombing techniques.
Bridal hairstyle on short hair: focus on accessories
“An ornament is ideal for enhancing a short haircut” recalls Camille. If the veil is very trendy this year, you can also opt for a crown, a head jewel, a brooch or even a headband. You can absolutely match the accessory that you place in your hair to your wedding dress or your bridal bouquet to create an even more harmonious look.

Be careful, however, not to overdo it because it is essential that your hairstyle remains comfortable and practical throughout the day and evening: “LThe bride must feel comfortable with her hairstyle, recognize herself and above all not feel disguised” advises Camille.
