Simple Wedding Guest Hairstyles That Look Elegant Without Hours of Styling

A wedding guest hairstyle should look polished, but it does not need to take hours. The best guest styles are simple shapes done neatly: a low bun, soft waves, or a polished ponytail, with a few soft pieces left around the face.

1. Elegant low bun
   A low bun suits most outfits and stays neat through a long event. Keep it soft rather than tight, and leave a few face-framing strands free so it does not look severe.
2. Soft waves, worn down
   If you prefer your hair down, soft waves with a centre or side part look finished without heavy styling. Brush the waves out lightly for a softer finish, and use a light hold spray rather than a stiff one.
3. Polished low ponytail
   A low ponytail can look just as elegant as an updo when the hair is smooth and the elastic is covered with a small wrapped section of hair. It is a good choice for warm weather and long days.

Tips to keep it neat all day

• Start with clean, dry hair and a light styling product, not heavy product that weighs hair down.
• Pin the bun or ponytail base securely before you leave, and carry two extra pins.
• Avoid touching the style too often during the event; each touch loosens it a little.
• If your hair is fine, a little texture spray at the roots helps the style hold.
• Choose a style you have tried before, not a brand-new style on the day of the event.

Next step
If you like simple styles that hold, also try the easy everyday ponytail in this batch, or the French braid for a neater all-day option.
