Bridal hairstyles play an important part of the overall look of a wedding. The day marks an occasion for brides to pamper the bride on her special day. Brides all over the world use various hairstyles meant to compliment different types of facial structure and complexion, and limited only by imagination and the length of the bride's hair. While conventional bridal hairstyles call for long hair, short haired brides should not despair: there are lots of beautiful, fun, and formal bridal hairstyles that can be accomplished with short hair.

The main challenge most people with curly hair face is dryness and unmanageability. Because many people with curly hair abuse their hair with chemical and thermal products, the dryness tends to become worse. Curly hair requires different care than straight hair in order for it to maintain its natural health. Curly hair does not require washing everyday and will benefit from an occasional break from chemicals and heat. Curly hair should be deep conditioned every time it is washed, and people with dry, curly hair should avoid styling products that contain alcohol. Proper attention to hair care will improve the over all health and manageability of curly hair.

Curly haired bridal hairstyles usually emphasize the natural beauty of the curls, rather than covering it up with an elaborate hairdo. Curly hair could be left long and wavy or piled on top of the head and arranged in a soft up-do. Curly long hair can be arranged into complex knots, French twists, and other elegant hairdos as well. Brides with curly hair should prepare for several hours of hairstyling, as the hair may need to be straightened and re-curled for the best results. Brides and attendants with naturally curly or wavy hair can adopt any style. In some cases, they will need to temporarily straighten their curls first in order to re-create the look.

The Double Asian Knot and Simply Elegant Updo could also be created, in a modified form without any special straightening for naturally curly hair.
