The Gala Grande Hairpin Set adds a dramatic touch to the chignon and our Crystal Drama Drop Earrings add sparkle as well as movement.

Lori added a bit of hair padding to the chignon to add fullness and help shape the style. If your hair isn't long enough for a bun, a Mini Fall Hair Extension can give you the length you need.

Wedding Hairstyles Red Carpet

Oversized hairpins give this updo a shot of glamour. It's a fitting look for the red carpet, or a walk down the aisle.

This is a hairstyle that's appropriate for many hair types - thin or thick, wavy or straight.

For hair with a bit of curl or wave, have your stylist straighten it with a flat iron or blow dryer before beginning. If you have very curly hair you may be better off choosing a style that works with your natural curl instead of against it.

The Long and Short

To begin, Lori pulled our model's hair into a low pony tail and left the bangs out. The ponytail should be at least 6 inches. If it isn't long enough Lori recommends a Mini Fall Hair Extension or a Medium Fall Hair Extension to get additional length and fullness.

Weave and Tuck

Lori then divided the pony tail into several sections and wove them together into an oblong bun, tucking and hiding the ends with bobby pins. Lori added a bit of hair padding to the chignon to give the illusion of fullness and to help give shape to the style.
