How To Get Gorgeous Hair From Your Engagement Photos To The Big Day

by June 9, 2025
June 9, 2025

If you’re a bride-to-be with fine or thinning hair, planning your wedding look can come with a side of anxiety. You’re dreaming of full, photo-ready hair that holds its style from first look to final dance, but your natural hair just doesn’t have that kind of volume. You’re not alone.

The good news? You don’t need to commit to permanent extensions, damage your hair follicles, or spend hours in a salon chair to get the hair you want. The Halo is the seamless, damage-free, and commitment-light solution that elevates your hair for every bridal occasion—starting with your engagement photos and carrying through to the big day.

Here’s your full timeline of bridal hair inspiration, plus which Halo to choose for each moment.

Hairstyles For Your Engagement Photos or Bridal Shower

Your engagement shoot and bridal shower are the first stops on your bridal beauty journey. You want hair that feels like you; soft, effortless, and totally romantic. You’re all about that fresh-faced glow, flowing dresses, and hair that catches the light in all the right ways.

Enter: the Fine Halo. Lightweight, subtle, and designed specifically for fine hair, it gives your natural strands a gentle boost in volume and length, perfect for those soft, down-styling moments.

This look strikes the perfect balance between casual and styled. A little top knot or twist adds shape, while the remaining hair falls softly for an airy, boho vibe. The Fine Halo helps fill out the lower half, making your hair look thicker and more polished in photos.

Pro Tip: Curl your natural hair and the hair extensions separately before placing The Halo, then blend with your fingers and a wide-tooth comb for a natural, lived-in texture.

Soft, Cascading Waves

Whether you’re shooting in golden hour light or sipping champagne at your shower, soft waves are a classic for a reason. The Fine Halo adds body through the ends without weighing your roots down, keeping the shape light and touchable.

Pro Tip: Use a 1.25” curling wand for long, flowing curls. Shake them out with dry texturizing spray for a romantic finish.

The Retro Flip

Channeling a bit of vintage glam? The retro flip is all about bounce and movement. The Fine Halo gives your ends the volume they need to nail this shape.

Pro Tip: Use a round brush and blow dryer to flip the ends outward, then lock it in with a flexible-hold hairspray.

Hairstyles For Your Bachelorette Party or Rehearsal Dinner

Whether it’s a girls’ weekend or a candlelit dinner with your nearest and dearest, this is your moment to be playful, a little bold, and fully in your bridal era. You want hair that can go the distance and make an entrance.

The Medium Halo has more volume and length than the Fine, but still super comfortable and lightweight. It gives you the versatility to play with high-impact looks that hold their shape (even after one too many espresso martinis and cosmopolitans).

Fluffy High Ponytail

It’s fun, flirty, and made to dance in. A high ponytail with mega volume is flattering on everyone, and the Medium Halo adds all the length and bounce you need.

Pro Tip: Add some teasing at the crown and secure The Halo first. Wrap a section of hair around the base to hide your elastic, and voilà—instant glam.

Low Ponytail

This style says “effortless” but photographs like “editorial.” Ideal for a rooftop dinner or late-night cocktails, a messy low ponytail pairs beautifully with statement earrings and a bold lip.

Pro Tip: Use a wave wand to add texture to both your natural hair and your halo before styling. Tug out a few face-framing strands for that undone, chic finish.

Snatched Half Ponytail

This is your Y2K supermodel moment. A sleek half-up style keeps your hair off your face while showing off the body and volume of your Medium Halo. Bonus: it holds all night.

Pro Tip: Smooth the crown with a soft-bristle brush and gel for that ultra-snatched effect, then secure with a clip or elastic. Let the rest of your hair fall in soft waves.

Hairstyles For Your Wedding Day

This is the day you’ve been dreaming about, and your hair should be just as iconic as your dress! Whether you’re wearing a veil, crown, or fresh florals, your bridal hair needs to be full, secure, and built to last.

The Thick Halo delivers maximum volume and luxurious length, providing the structure needed to create intricate styles, bold buns, and elegant updos. Yes, even with fine hair.

The Double Bun

Sleek at the crown and full at the base, the double bun creates the illusion of thick, voluminous hair wrapped into a modern, architectural silhouette. The Thick Halo adds bulk where it counts, giving the style a full, sculptural shape.

Pro Tip: Use clear elastics and pins to anchor your buns. A light texturizing spray will help grip the hair without stiffness.

Elegant Low Bun

Classic, romantic, and veil-friendly—the low bun is a bridal staple. With the Thick Halo, you can twist and fold your hair into a full, seamless bun that looks polished from every angle.

Pro Tip: After securing your halo, pull hair into a low ponytail and wrap sections into a bun, pinning as you go. Pull out a few soft tendrils for a more relaxed finish.

Teased Bun

Want something with a little more drama? A teased bun gives you glamorous volume that works beautifully with dramatic veils or off-shoulder gowns. The Thick Halo provides the volume needed to backcomb and build your shape.

Pro Tip: Tease the crown before pulling hair back, and add a little volume powder at the roots to hold everything in place.

Ready to find your perfect fit? Shop the Fine, Medium, or Thick Halo to match your hair type and your vision—and start creating those unforgettable bridal beauty moments, one event at a time.
