5 Bridal hairstyles we adore right now

by Bongiwe Tshiqi

It’s wedding season in South Africa and we’re looking at some trends that are big internationally at the moment. First up is one of the trickiest decisions for any bride: what to do with her hair. Here are 4 trends we’ve spotted that we absolutely love.

Which hairstyle is your fave?

1. The afro

Whether it’s your natural hair or extensions. Brides rocking afros are huge at the moment and they look stunning!

2. Classic Veil

We’re bidding farewell to puffy, over the top veils and going back to classic, lace veils that sit easily on the hair.

3. Hair Accessories

If you want to ditch the veil altogether there are a lot of accessories you can add to still spice things up. Including; diamante, turbans and floral crowns.
