As a professional hairstylist, I’m excited to share these beautiful engagement hairstyles woman hairstyles with you.
Textured Side Fishtail Braid with Voluminous Twist – Loose Bridal Hairstyle
This loose, textured side fishtail braid with a voluminous twisted crown suits medium-to-long hair and works best on fine-to-medium densities; thicker hair can be thinned or layered for manageability and extensions can be added for length and fullness. Start on blow-dried hair with root lift from a round brush, create soft waves with a 1 curling wand, then lightly backcomb the crown for height. Twist and pin the top sections toward a low side part, gather hair into a loose fishtail or rope braid at the nape, secure with a small elastic and hide with pins. Pancake the braid and pull face-framing pieces for a soft, lived-in finish. Tools: tail comb, sectioning clips, curling iron/wand, small elastics and bobby pins. Products: heat protectant, volumizing mousse or root-lift spray, texturizing/sea-salt spray, light flexible hairspray and a smoothing serum for flyaways. Difficulty: moderate — a salon pro can finish in 20–30 minutes; beginners may need 40–60 minutes. Maintenance: refresh with dry shampoo, re-texturize with spray, tighten any loose pins, and sleep on a silk pillowcase to preserve shape.
Textured Romantic Loose Braid Updo with Face‑Framing Tendrils
This romantic, textured loose braid updo works best on medium to thick hair and on natural waves or curls — fine hair can achieve the look with volumizing products or clip‑in pieces. Start by applying a heat protectant and a volumizing mousse to damp hair, then rough‑dry while lifting at the roots with your fingers or a round brush. Create loose waves with a 1–1.25 inch curling wand for body. Tease the crown lightly for lift, then take a small front section and make a side rope or Dutch braid that feeds into a low, purposely messy braid or twisted ponytail at the nape. Gently pancake the braid and tug out face‑framing tendrils for softness. Tools: blow dryer, round brush, curling wand, tail comb, sectioning clips, clear elastics and bobby pins. Products: heat protectant, mousse or root lifter, texturizing spray or powder, flexible‑hold hairspray, and a light serum for ends. Difficulty: moderate — requires braiding and shaping skills; expect 30–45 minutes. Maintenance: sleep on a silk pillowcase or loosely wrap, refresh with dry shampoo and texturizer, and re‑pin any loosened sections as needed.
Textured Romantic Half-Up with Voluminous Twists
Perfect for medium-to-long hair, this textured romantic half-up pairs crown volume with loose twisted sections and cascading waves. It works best on medium to thick hair and on naturally wavy or straight hair that holds a bend; fine hair can still achieve the look using root-lift products and strategic backcombing. Start on dry or second-day hair: create a slight backcomb at the crown for lift, twist or loosely braid two side sections, and pin them into a low half-ponytail so the lengths cascade freely. Add 1–1.25 barrel curls through the mid-lengths and ends, then gently separate with fingers for softness and movement. Tools needed: curling iron or wand, tail comb, sectioning clips, vent brush, small elastic, and bobby pins. Recommended products: heat protectant, volumizing mousse or root spray, texturizing/salt spray for grip, flexible-hold hairspray, and a lightweight smoothing serum for ends. Difficulty: moderate — about 20–35 minutes with basic pinning skills. Maintenance tips: refresh with dry shampoo, re-curl loose pieces as needed, re-secure pins, sleep on silk to reduce frizz, and deep-condition regularly to keep ends healthy.
Loose Textured Side Braid with Soft Waves and Floral Accents
A romantic, salon-style loose side braid designed to feel soft and lived-in. Suitable for medium to long hair and works best on medium to thick textures; fine hair benefits from volumizing products or temporary clip-in extensions, while naturally curly hair can be smoothed slightly before styling for cleaner braid definition. Technique: start on freshly washed or second-day hair—apply heat protectant, then create loose waves with a 1–1.25 curling wand. Add texture spray and lightly backcomb the crown for lift. Gather hair to one side and create a loose fishtail or three-strand braid, pulling sections outward (pancaking) to create volume; secure with a clear elastic and hide it with pinned sections. Insert fresh or faux florals as desired and pull face-framing tendrils for softness. Tools needed: curling wand, sectioning clips, rat-tail comb, teasing brush, elastic bands, bobby pins. Products required: heat protectant, texturizing spray or powder, light-to-medium hold hairspray, smoothing serum for ends. Difficulty: moderate—requires basic braiding and shaping skills. Maintenance tips: refresh tendrils with a quick curl, re-spray for hold, use dry shampoo at the roots to revive volume, and sleep with a silk scarf to preserve shape.
Romantic Textured Low Braided Pony with Face‑Framing Tendrils
This romantic, tousled low braided pony works best on medium to long hair and flatters fine, medium or thick textures; wavy hair holds the shape most easily while straight hair benefits from pre‑texturizing or light extensions for volume. Start on dry hair: apply heat protectant, then create loose S‑waves with a 1–1.25 curling wand. Lightly backcomb the crown for lift and divide hair into sections; twist and wrap each section into a loose low braid or rope, securing with a small elastic and concealing with bobby pins to form an eased, voluminous pony. Pull gently on braid sections to open and soften the look and leave a few face‑framing tendrils. Tools: curling wand, teasing/paddle comb, sectioning clips, small elastic bands, plenty of bobby pins. Products: heat protectant, texturizing spray or sea‑salt spray for grip, light smoothing serum for ends, and a flexible hold hairspray. Difficulty: intermediate — expect 30–45 minutes. Maintenance: sleep on a silk pillowcase, refresh texture with dry shampoo or salt spray, retuck loose pieces with pins, and reheat/curl any flattened waves for next‑day wear.
Textured Boho Side Braid with Face‑Framing Layers
This relaxed boho side braid is ideal for medium to long hair and works particularly well on fine to medium strands when layered for movement; thick hair also suits this look but may need light thinning. Technique: prep hair with a volumizing mousse and rough‑dry to create grip, then part slightly off‑center. Create loose French or Dutch braid starting at the crown and sweep to one side, inserting sections loosely and pancaking the braid as you go to build fullness. Finish by gently tugging face‑framing pieces and curling ends for soft waves. Tools needed: blow dryer (or diffuser), round brush or paddle, 1–1.25” curling wand, tail comb, sectioning clips, small elastic, and bobby pins. Products required: heat protectant, volumizing mousse or root lift, sea‑salt or texturizing spray for grip, light‑hold hairspray, and a small amount of shine serum for ends. Difficulty level: moderate — 20–35 minutes with basic braid experience.

Straight hair can achieve the same effect with pre‑curling for texture; fine hair benefits from light extensions for added volume. Start in the salon by applying a heat protectant and a volumizing mousse to towel‑dried hair, then blow‑dry with a round brush to create lift at the crown. Use a 1–1.5 curling wand to add loose curls, backcomb lightly at the crown, then gather hair to one side and form a loose rope or pull‑through braid, securing with elastics and bobby pins.

Tools: blow dryer and round brush, curling wand, teasing/combo tail comb, sectioning clips, elastics, and bobby pins.

Start on dry hair: apply heat protectant and a volumizing mousse at the roots, rough-dry for lift, then create loose 1- to 1.25-inch barrel curls to add texture. Lightly backcomb the crown for height, smooth the top layer, and section hair into 3–4 parts. Twist and pin each section into a low, slightly off-center chignon using sturdy bobby pins and U-pins, pulling pieces to create soft loops and movement.
