BRIDESMAID HAIR GOALS: COORDINATED LOOKS USING HAIR EXTENSIONS
Table of contents
When it comes to planning a wedding, every bride dreams of creating a picture-perfect day filled with love, beauty, and lasting memories. One detail that often takes centre stage, especially in photos, is the bridal party's appearance—and nothing ties it all together quite like beautifully styled, coordinated bridesmaid hairstyles.
At Viola Hair Extensions, we understand that not everyone in the bridal party has the same hair type, length, or volume—but that shouldn’t stand in the way of achieving a harmonious look. Natural hair extensions, especially our premium clip-in extensions, offer a simple yet transformative solution to ensure every bridesmaid feels confident and looks cohesive on the big day.
In this guide, we explore everything you need to know about creating elegant, coordinated bridesmaid hairstyles using Viola Hair Extensions, with styling tips, matching advice, and inspiring ideas for every hair type.
Why Use Hair Extensions for Bridesmaids?
Bridesmaids often have a wide variety of hair textures, colours, and lengths. Natural clip-in hair extensions level the playing field, offering:
- Consistent volume and length for uniform styles
- Versatility for creating updos, curls, waves, or ponytails
- Confidence boost for bridesmaids with fine or thinning hair
- Ease of application without commitment or damage
Using extensions also allows for more elaborate hairstyles that may otherwise be difficult to achieve on natural hair alone.
Choosing the Right Type of Hair Extensions
Viola offers a range of 100% natural human hair extensions that blend seamlessly and feel just like your own. For bridal parties, the most practical and popular choice is:
-
Clip-in Hair Extensions (also called clip-ins)
Why? Because: - They are easy to apply and remove
- Each bridesmaid can style them independently or with a stylist
- They can be reused for future events
- They don’t require long-term commitment
For bridesmaids with very fine hair or for a super-secure finish, our seamless clip-in extensions offer a discreet, flat base that sits close to the scalp.
Step-by-Step: Matching Extensions to Each Bridesmaid
- Start with Hair Colour Matching
- Viola offers a free colour matching service online or via WhatsApp
- You can also order a Colour Ring to find the perfect shade in natural light
2. Choose the Right Length & Volume
- For subtle volume: 16-18 inch sets
For dramatic transformations: 20-24 inch sets
- Add volumisers as needed
3. Trial Run with a Stylist
- Do a full trial of the hairstyle at least 2-3 weeks before the wedding
- Ensure the extensions are washed and dried before use
Coordinated Styles for Different Hair Types
Here are some beautiful bridesmaid hairstyle ideas that can work across different hair types using Viola extensions:
1. The Classic Low Chignon
Elegant, romantic, and timeless. Create a full chignon using clip-in volumising wefts to add body. Great for bridesmaids with shorter or finer hair.
2. Boho Waves with Half-Up Twists
Perfect for spring and summer weddings. Add clip-ins for length and volume, then loosely curl. Use small braids or twists pulled back into a half-up style.
3. Hollywood-Inspired Glamour Curls
For more formal occasions, go for side-parted, defined curls with volume. Clip-ins are essential for creating uniform body across the bridal party.
4. High or Low Ponytails
Use Viola’s clip-in ponytail extensions for a polished, voluminous ponytail. Add soft waves or sleek styling, depending on the theme.
5. Braided Crowns and Fishtails
Great for longer hair looks. Clip-ins help create chunky, eye-catching braids. Use matching extensions to ensure thickness is even from root to tip.
Tips for a Flawless Bridesmaid Hair Experience
- Coordinate Early: Plan a hair extension consultation during the dress fitting stage.
- Keep It Comfortable: Ensure clip-ins are placed securely but comfortably—no one wants to feel uncomfortable mid-ceremony!
- Use Quality Products: Only use extension-safe styling products and brushes to preserve softness and shine.
- Match Hair Accessories: Choose matching hair pins, florals, or ribbons that won’t snag on the extensions.
Caring for Extensions Pre & Post-Wedding
To ensure the extensions look perfect for the big day and beyond:
- Wash with sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner
- Air-dry when possible, or use heat protectant if styling
- Store them flat or hung in a storage case
- Detangle with a wide-tooth comb or extension-friendly brush
- Viola also offers a range of care products tailored for human hair extensions.
