Oh, to be a bridesmaid! It’s a fun job—tough sometimes but fun nevertheless. Celebrating your best friend’s big day, throwing her a super-fun (and slightly naughty) bachelorette party, and calming her down as only BFFs can do when jitters hit are just some of the exciting duties the modern-day bridesmaid attends to. And of course, part of the fun is looking absolutely fab during the wedding itself. Gone are the days when bridesmaid’s hairstyles resemble disastrous pageant hairdos, for example! Here are some of our top picks for best bridesmaid hair ideas that guarantee them to look their loveliest:
1. Fishtail Braid
There’s something incredibly romantic about fishtail braids. Maybe because seeing one conjures images of maidens in a castle or frolicking on a lush field. If you have long, flowing locks, glam them up with this iconic hairstyle.

2. Bohemian Waves
If you want a no fuss yet sexy hairstyle, grab some sea salt spray and let your hair down in beach waves. If you don’t have a hairstylist on standby, you can even DIY! This style works for all hair lengths, and is best especially for beach weddings. Add a flower crown if you want to inject the classic bohemian flair.

3. Chignon
A bridesmaid classic, this is probably the first thought that pops up when one says “wedding hair.” A chignon is basically a knot of hair arranged on one’s head, but has infinite variations. It can be side-swept or high-up, with tendrils of hair on the sides or polished with no stray hairs. You can opt for a variety of twists, or you can even put a stray braid in there. The possibilities are endless!

4. Classy Bun
Buns are often associated with ballerinas, the epitome of grace and poise. As a bridesmaid, you can channel your inner white swan as you sashay down the aisle with this elegant hairstyle. You can keep it sleek and polished, or go for a more relaxed, messy look. If you’re wearing a sleeveless dress, this hairstyle is your best bet to show off your toned shoulders and sexy clavicle.
Suggested Product: Phyto 9 Ultra-Dry Hair Nourishing Day Cream with 9 Plants, P1,650
5. Half up, half down
This is another style with a variety of permutations. It is best if you want to look relaxed but still posh and fancy. Wear a half bun, or a half braid, or a half ponytail, or half twist – and let the rest of your locks flow. Put on an elegant bejeweled pin if you want to make it more elegant.
