Naturally curlies, show me your wedding styles!

Sara , on May 22, 2019 at 10:40 AM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 13

So, I've got naturally curly hair with pretty tight 3b/c curls with a few 4a curls thrown into the mix for good measure. Think pencil to marker-sized corkscrews and ringlets. It's about shoulder length now, depending on how much I encourage it to stretch or shrink with styling. My hair is very fine and soft, not coarse at all. It's prone to fluffiness, but I've got a whole beauty shop worth of product under my bathroom sink and on my vanity to help with that. Who can relate???

I've been 100% CGM (curly girl method) for years and don't really want to switch that up for my wedding. I also definitely do not want to straighten my hair. My curls are a huge part of what makes me, me. Also, if we get rain of any kind on our wedding day, any straightened hair will spring back into curls but with extra frizz.

I'm just not finding styles in my curl tightness on Google or Pinterest. All those lovely ladies have looser, shinier and less unruly curls.

So, natural curlies, show me your wedding styles! I've got a hair cut and style consultation this weekend and need to get some ideas. And need to be talked off the ledge of getting an inch or two whacked off. Smiley laugh

    That's so pretty!

    It is a messy up-do or half-up/half-down with short hair? The half-up/half-down is exactly what I'm thinking of.

    Love your nose stud too, btw. Looks so cute on you!

    It’s all up and just tucked under. She crossed two large piece over either in the top of the bun to make the little knot on top of it. My hair was just over shoulder length here when curly, but it’s about 3 inches longer now so I hope the bun can get a little more volume.

    I don’t have quite as tight of curls as you but my stylist basically just piled it in until it looked good. She was super open to flowing in my curls direction and hearing what I had to say. Also CGM and there is no heat just my normal styling and Bobby pins!!

    Im exactly the same - looking for updos now and had so many hairstylists saying oh dont worry we can straighten your hair- I dont want it straight, just a nice curly updo by a hairstylist who knows how not to make my hair go fuzzy by over handling it, or hard by spraying products on it! My hair is blonde and isnt quite as thick as yours though so some of the above wouldnt look the same - I just want a loose romantic looking updo with my ringlets hanging down.... would love to see any photos fro others!
