choosing the perfect bridal hairstyle can be a challenging task.

Hair extensions offer a versatile solution, enhancing volume and length. This article explores different types of hair extensions suitable for bridal hairstyles, highlighting the styles they best complement, along with their pros and cons.

Additionally, you'll find recommendations for some of the best hair extensions available for your special day.

I usually recommend hair extensions for fine hair, or if you would like a little bit more volume or length to your desired style.

Halo hair extensions: Instead of having different pieces, halo extensions consist of one large weft that would sit comfortably on the bride’s crown. Halos are perfect for brides wanting to let their hair flow loosely. Still keeping the natural look, halos can also grant brides length and volume to their hair.

Compared to Clip-Ins, halos are a much larger piece of hair extension. They have a much quicker application as well. If you have naturally curly hair, the help of a stylist can make things much easier. Do keep in mind that halos are difficult to style if one wants an updo. They are best for down hairstyles.

Clip-In Extensions: when buying a set of clip-in extensions, look for Remy human hair extensions rather than synthetic. Real hair can be coloured and heat styled so you can ensure the colour will match the rest of your hair.

Clip-in extensions are flexible and offer loads of variety, as we can place them in different parts if needed around the head.  Versatile and easy to use, they’re ideal for brides who want a temporary solution.

They’re easy to attach and remove, non-damaging to natural hair and can be used again and again if maintained properly.

On the downside, the clips can feel heavy with prolonged wear, and can irritate the scalp. While well suited to down hairstyles, and to lower updos, for a higher updo the clips are harder to hide.

Ponytail pieces/ weaves: Bridal ponytails are a necessity to try. Whether it be a high or low ponytail, a clip or tie-in ponytail piece offers instant length and volume. Hair accessories such as pins and flowers are perfect for it too. If your hair length is lacking, ponytail extensions can help solve the problem easily for a modern bridal look.

Ponytail extensions can instantly add volume and length to your own hair. Choosing this hairstyle can also highlight your accessories and make them shine. With statement earrings or even the veil itself, ponytails will give you a chic and elegant look easily.

Tape-In Extensions: One of the common types of hair extensions. Tapes can come in various shades and lengths. Because of how lightweight they are, brides will be ensured comfort on their head throughout the whole ceremony. Due to how slim each weft is, tapes will seamlessly blend in with your natural hair if worn down.

If you have fine or thin hair, tape-ins are a great option. Once the wedding is over, you have the advantage of being able to keep your tape-ins for up to 6 weeks. Best for sleek and smooth hairstyles like ponytails and straightened looks.

Be aware that for tapes to look and wear best, they require professional application - and they can be rather expensive as they are designed to be worn longer term. They will also require maintenance at the salon every 6 weeks or so, to remove and reposition them as your hair grows.
