DIY This Boho Bridal Hairstyle in Just 4 Steps

Sarah Potempa

If your dream wedding consists of you walking barefoot down a beach in Tulum, Mexico, then this bohemian bridal hairstyle — created by Sarah Potempa — is perfect for you. The relaxed waves topped with a whimsical headband are ideal for women who want to embrace their natural, "undone" texture and look more mermaid-chic than Old Hollywood glam. A sparkly accessory gives it that extra pop you want for the big day.

Says Sarah, "This style works for someone that is a free spirit and wants to have a very ethereal feel. For this relaxed style, I created texture with a C-shaped wave and added some extra length, but it would also look great with your natural length."
