Bridal Short Hair?

Ahhh this was my quandry a couple of months ago. I used to have shoulder length hair, got fed up with it, chopped it all off then cried when I realised I couldn't have the hair do I'd wanted for the wedding! Now I'm trying to grow it back a bit to see if there's enough there to put some loose curls in and pin it up so it's basically in any other style than my usual choppy bob!

You could get it chopped and add a few extentions on the day if u needed

This bride has short hair, some of it is down at the front to give you an idea of how short her hair is.. she has had it curled and pinned back in places to make it look up but natural with some gorgeous pins in.

I have a short bob and If i'm honest I am struggling to find something to do with my hair, but to be fair that is more to do with the fact that it is really really fine, so I might just go without accessories and just have it looking really sharp. I've done google images for 20's, 30's 40's style hair and it gave me loads of ideas, so if you don;t have baby fine hair like me, you should get loads of inspiration

If it helps, this is the length of my hair now 2 months after having it cut into a very short bob. At my hair trial, the stylist backcombed bits of it around my crown and did clever things with straighteners to give me a 60s-ish look, which was really cool but not exactly what I want (so she's coming for a second trial in a few weeks).

If you're thinking of going shorter than this, I'd definitely have a chat with a stylist about possible hairstyles first. Depending on the thickness of your hair, you might still be able to get some really interesting looks other than a choppy bob on the day!

(sorry for the boozey pic, it's from my hen do on Saturday!)

Short? I have a number 4 buzzcut! I'll be having an alice band fascinator on the day, I may see if I can grow it to and inch long.

A bit of height behind a tiara shouldn't be too hard witha bob - bumpits or sponge padding under the hair should do it.

im with you, my hair is shoulder length but so fine its horrible.. i keep getting really down because i cant seem to have what i want with my hair x

Hi,

I've got a short bob an ddidn't know what to do with it on the day. I needed height behind my fascinator as well so my hairdresser just backcombed it and hairsprayed it.

Here's a picture for an idea:

Oh Aimee your hair looks lovely. I'm not going to have mine cut that short just yet, going for a long ish bob first and then after the wedding I might go for a shorter bob. I've seen some lovely piccies on the net of pics for how I can have my hair for the wedding so the bob is booked in for next week ?

I have a similar predicament... I am growing my hair for the wedding (it currently brushes my shoulders) but I don't like it and straight after the wedding I am going to have it chopped off. But I am glad I haven't chopped it off already because I had my hair trial the other day and it looked amazing and I couldn't get that if I cut my hair off.

So if you are using a professional hairdresser I would recommend getting a trial done to see if the look of longer bridal hair encourages you to keep your longer hair for a few months.

My hair is this length and similar style at the moment but I have dark brown hair,

Was thinking of growing it for the wedding, but even if I do I will wear it down and have it straight. I do not suit it any other way

My hair is also fine and I'm trying toget some length before October. Fortunately my friend knows how my hair is so we're going to try for a have up do with some waves. My hair is so fine that grips slide out of it...... not a good look but one I'm going tohave to try and put up with for a few months. How I wish I could do a girls world and get an extra 4 inches instantly! ?

I was wondering this too as i have short hair just above my shoulders but below my chin, I am thinking of having a side pony with extensions but not sure as depends on make as dont want to look obvious i got fake hair in. I'm not having a veil so also thought of just having it straight with a flower in or something simular.

Would you mind flashing some? I've looked but struggling to find much inspiration for bob-length hair that isn't the 'messy and choppy' look

After getting so frustrated the other day with my hair i rang my hairdressser and asked her for some advice and she sent me to this place in our city which sells real hair hair extentions and they dye to match you hair. i Went yesterday and found some perfect ones and they match my hair so well if youd never seen my hair before youd think it was really that long, the best thing is they can be curled and washed aswel l cant wait for my trial now xx

I have fine hair with no volume whatsoever also so I had mine cut into a long bob a yr n half ago, I had just had it cut when I went for my first hair trail in the winter and she couldn't do anything with it so I have had to grow it for the wedding - I HATE it at the mo as it is just the inbetween length and looks so rubbish but it will hopefully look lovely on the day! I get married on the Friday, I go on honeymoon on the Sunday so I am going to get my bob back on the Saturday inbetween!!

awww wow your wedding is the day before mine, i go away on the thursday after considering getting mine cut in between too haha x
