Criss Cross Wedding Hairstyles

For a unique wedding hair style, try braiding your hair into a crown, cascade or lace braid. you can create this look, this criss crossed look. Brides with long hair can wear elaborate braided designs which are non damaging to their hair, product-light and easy to undo after the wedding.

Brides with shorter hair can choose to use hair braiding extensions, or opt for a braided style which works on short hair. Twist the hair on the right side and pin it to the head. Criss-cross the ends of the hair in the center of the back of the head and tuck into the rolled hair. Use bobby pins to secure the ends in place. Finish the hairstyle by placing a pretty barrette on top of the criss-crossed ends.

This is the variation of the zigzag. instead of one big triangle to flip over, the hair is made to look like a braid. The zigzag is a modern take on the part that creates dimension. This is often worn together with pigtails. Cascade braids work best on thick hair, as the desired effect is a luxuriant mane of tumbling hair topped by a crown braid. The cascade braid is achieved by working a crown braid on the top of the head while leaving the hair from the ears to nape of the neck hanging loose.

 

You can also divide the hair into three sections and create three braids than you then braid together and twist into a large, intricate-looking bun. Brush the top section back over the scalp and gather into a ponytail. Twist into a bun and secure in place. Use a curling iron to curl the bottom portion of hair into gentle waves or ringlets.

 

Another of the braided trendy hair styles, lace braids are small accent braids often worn just behind the hairline. Lace braids are a lovely option for brides who do not like parting their hair or having it pulled severely back. Italian hairtaping, a technique which "sews" the braid in place around the head with ribbon, can be adapted for a fancy wedding braid; alternatively, ribbons can be used to criss-cross the hair inside the braided ring for a stunning effect.
