Tip: To achieve the desired texture for the updo, start by applying a volumizing mousse or texturizing spray to damp hair, then blow-dry using a diffuser attachment to enhance natural waves or curls. For added texture and manageability, lightly tease sections of the hair at the crown and mid-lengths, creating a tousled effect.
When styling the updo, keep the look soft and loose by gently pulling out a few face-framing strands and securing the hair with bobby pins or a hair elastic. Finish with a spritz of flexible-hold hairspray to keep the airy texture intact throughout the wedding festivities.
