4 Wedding Guest Hairstyles + the Products to Make Them Happen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Waves for the beach wedding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"wedding
Try OUAI Texturizing Hair Spray, $26, Nordstrom\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can never go wrong with beach waves, just ask Victoria’s Secret<\/a>. Steal the angels’ signature look with a curling wand \u2014 alternating the direction of the curl back and forth around the head. Add a small braid in the front to secure any bangs or shorter layers, and to amp up the mermaid-glam factor. Give your curls a spritz with a texture spray for volume and dimension, and your sea-inspired look is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. French braid for the garden party<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Leave the floral crowns to the flower girls. Achieve the same sweet, ethereal effect with a braided crown \u2014 all the way up or halfway, your choice. French braid the hair around the crown of the head, leaving two curled tendrils out front for a relaxed, perfectly undone vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"flexible
TRESemme Flexible Hold Hairspray, $4.99, Target<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Set the look with a flexible hold hairspray \u2014 everything should be soft with this look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The Wet Look for a Black Tie Event<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"wet
For the wet look, try Tecni Art Wet Shower Shine from Loreal, $33, Walmart<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bring complementary drama to full-length gowns and formal looks when you slick the hair back taut. Pull it back into a low pony a la Victoria Beckham or leave it loose like Kendall or Gigi! The right product cocktail will work to maintain the wet look and keep things in place through a night of dancing into the wee hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Classic blowout for the courthouse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Living
Living proof blowout spray, $24, Livingproof.com<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For the couple that likes to keep it low-key, do the same, with a classic blowout. Freshly smoothed and flipped locks are timeless without trying too hard. Lock in a big, beautiful shape with blowout spray<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> that protects locks from the heat of the dryer and<\/em> offers hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
