Top 3 Hairstyles For Wedding Guests That Will Last All Day

When choosing a hairstyle as a wedding guest, you need to pick a do that will look as good when you hit the dancefloor as it does when you’re watching the bride walk down the aisle.

But it’s not easy keeping your hair stylish and sleek for several hours, with no flyaways or loose pins. Here are three of the best hair dos that will look great on wedding guests this summer and are guaranteed to stay in place, no matter how much hugging and dancing you do. 

1) Barrel waves

One of the most popular looks this summer will be brushed-out waves for the simple reason that it is easy to do yourself. What’s more, if you use the right tools and products, it won’t fall out, with the waves staying intact till your head hits the pillow. 

This style goes particularly well with a backless dress, but looks chic and sophisticated with any outfit. 

Make sure you allow the waves to cool properly before brushing them and keep them in place with some hairspray. 

2) Finger-raked ponytail

For ladies who struggle to make their topknots look tidy and their chignons chic, this is the look for you. Finger-raked ponytails are allowed to look loose and messy, with the texture giving it a romantic, care-free feel. 

To avoid looking like a schoolgirl, wear the ponytail high, which pulls up your cheekbones and gives your roots some lift. Curl the loose hair and brush through for some natural-looking waves. 

The great thing about this look is you don’t have to worry about flyaway tresses or loose strands, and as long as the bobble is twisted tightly, it will survive all your dance moves. 

3) Sleek low bun

A sleek low bun looks so neat and perfect, everyone will assume you booked a wedding hair stylist to do it. 

Simply pull your hair into a tight low bun and carefully twist the length around itself before discretely pinning it up. The trick is to make sure all loose ends are scraped back and use shine spray to give it that sleek appearance. 

You can do this style with a deep side parting, a strict half parting or no parting at all, and it will look great with both a smart tuxedo or backless dress.

Summer 2025 has shown us plenty of warmth and sunshine so far, which is great for holidays, festivals and days at the beach. But all that sun and humidity can wreak havoc on your hair, whether you’re dealing with frizz, dryness, or faded colour. Here are some salon-approved tips to help you protect your locks and keep them looking their best all season long. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate Just like your skin, your hair needs extra moisture in the summer. Hot weather, UV exposure and swimming can dry your strands out. Use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner, and add a weekly hair mask to your routine. Look for products containing ingredients like argan oil, shea butter, or keratin for a deep moisture boost. Try a hair botox treatment If you’re struggling with frizz, dryness, or general lack of shine, a hair botox treatment can be a game-changer. This intensive conditioning treatment smooths and strengthens hair by filling in damaged areas on the strand. It’s ideal for summer because it helps your hair stay sleek and glossy even in humid conditions. Always use a heat protectant If you’re using straighteners, curling wands or even a hairdryer, don’t forget to apply a heat protectant spray or serum first. This forms a barrier that helps reduce damage from hot tools—and it also offers protection from the sun’s heat if you’re out and about. Protect your hair fr om the sun Just like your skin, your hair can be damaged by UV rays. Too much sun can cause colour fading, dryness, and even breakage. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat or scarf is a simple and stylish way to protect your locks. You can also buy UV-protective hair sprays to guard
