Best Hairstyle for a Destination Wedding: The Semi Updo

If you’ve ever attempted whisking your hair up into an updo, you probably realized how hard the process really is, and how many bobby pins you’ll lose along the way. Instead of battling with your hair on such an important day, decide on a semi updo to cut down on fuss and enjoy the day!

Get The Look:

Whether you’re heading to the tropics or a mountaintop escape, chances are having your hair away from your face will prove promising. By opting for a semi up style, you’ll have the added drama of a finished updo and all the ease and fun of wearing your hair down for the evening.
For a polished look, prep hair with a blowout the morning of or the day before the event. If the wedding is taking place over the weekend, this is a great look to easily upgrade your second-day style so you can spend more time with your friends and less time worrying about your hair.
If working on second-day hair, always prep with a dry shampoo to add grit and hold while refreshing your strands. If needed, touch up your tendrils with a curling iron or round brush at the roots to ensure enhanced movement.
Next, gently pull hair or twist hair back away from the face and secure with an elastic. If you have bangs or short tendrils around the face, you can pull these back and secure with bobby pins and hairspray, or allow them to frame the face for an ethereal finish.
To add interest, pack a few barrettes, a matching scarf or pick up a sprig of flowers and secure them into your style.
Once hair is secure, finish with a hairspray with humidity protection and then add a layer of shimmer with a shine spray.
