Hairstyle ideas for African American bride?

on January 26, 2021 at 4:54 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 10

Hello, future brides! I am getting married in the spring of 2022. I have a beautiful green dress to perfectly match our princess and the frog themed wedding. I am African American with short hair. I am not going to be wearing my natural hair, as it's very damaged and I've always wanted to do some kind of glamorous look on my day. (Not implying natural hair isn't glam, I LOVE my natural hair but it's going to take more than a year to nurse it back to health).

My dress has a very intricate pattern on the back, and as much as I'd love to do long hair, I don't wanna cover up the back of the dress. I have some general ideas, like an intricate bun, a long high curly ponytail, or a wavy/curly shoulder length lace front.

Any ideas?!?!?

    I found inspo pictures on Pinterest but ended up freestyling it. Lol. I did it myself so I didn’t really need to have it figured out beforehand.


    I used kinky curly clips-ins for thickness. I straightened and curled them to match my hair which I also straightened then pin curled.
    Definitely look at Pinterest though, there’s so much there.

    I tried to find a good picture but I don’t have too many clear pictures of just my hair. But it was basically a layered bun with loose curls to frame my face. I also had a halo band.

    Hi Maleah! I think an intricate updo would be really gorgeous, and so would a long styled ponytail!! 🤩

    I think an updo with some curly pieces hanging down will perfectly match your princess and the frog theme.

    Thanks for your reply!

    That's a really good idea, I think clip ins would be nice because they're affordable. I've checked pinterest but I always get overwhelmed, lol. I live in a really small redneck town, so there's just no one around here that does black hair other than box braids. Hopefully Youtube can help me actually learn to do it myself

    The curly hair pieces hanging down is such a dream 🥰 The only thing is if I'm doing a protective bun or some kind of protective style, my natural hair is too damaged to hold a curl like that, and it's really short. Not a TWA but not even pass my ears when stretched.
