Thinking about the perfect bridal hairstyle? Slicked back hair is perhaps one of the safest and most sophisticated choices for the modern bride. Step into a world of refined elegance and timeless beauty with this beautiful styling technique. With a little preparation and a few rules to follow, this hairstyle will be an unforgettable finish to your dramatic bridal look. Master the art of sophistication and grace as we take you through each step to achieve a stunning and polished updo.
Preparation Process
For starters, it's worth noting that you don't have to have perfectly clean hair for this hairstyle. The frizziness of freshly washed hair can hinder the reliability of this hairstyle, and make the process of creating the hairstyle twice as difficult. Your hair should also definitely be completely dry. Brush your hair thoroughly before you start styling, this will also simplify the whole process and allow you to comb through your tied hair without any obstacles. Take into account your hair type, for curly or wavy hair, for example, you may want to lightly wet your hair before brushing.
Mousse, Gel, Spray
Firstly, equip yourself with a fine-tipped comb to make a parting. You can play around with the angle of the parting, but we recommend trying a classic straight one for the first try. Use a hair mousse to provide the hair with initial hold. Gather your hair into a tight ponytail, while combing your hair back with the mousse. Next, take a strong hair gel, either matte or glossy, to make sure all the hairs are in place. Go over the ponytail style with the gel. At the end, don't forget to top up your hair with a finishing spray.

Сhoose the Right Comb
Of course, styling tools play an essential role in creating the ultimate hairstyle. Look for a good fine comb with natural fleece. This will prevent you from messing up your hair when combing the hair that is already in the ponytail. We also recommend that you choose products with the strongest hold, so that the updo will not let you down.

Practice Beforehand
If you are doing your own wedding hairstyle, you need to make sure that you minimize any stress beforehand. The best way to do this is to practice the slicked back style before the big day. We promise that by the third time you will be an expert. You can also ask your bridesmaids to make sure there are no extra hairs sticking out at the back.
