MemberSo, I’ve decided that I would definitely like to wear my hair up for the wedding (I have a beautiful lace back to my dress that I don’t want to hide!). However, I have very fine, thin hair. It’s very long and very soft, but it’s difficult to work with.
I am wondering if anyone has any ideas for updos that would work well? Pics of your hair would be greatly appreciated!
Memberbump! I have long, fine hair and am thinking of an updo too. Would love some good inspiration pics.

MemberI had fine just above shoulder length hair for my wedding. I was going to get clip in extensions for volume to help my hair stay. I opted out of it….but I hear it is a great option for fine/thin hair.
My hair would have looked fuller if I used the extensions but since I kept my veil in all night I didn’t bother. I was happy anyway.
MemberI have long, fine hair also. I am planning to have mine teased (just for body) and then smoothed out into a low side bun/chignon. I saw this at one of my friend’s weddings, and I love that it is a timeless, classic style that doesn’t fight against the texture of my hair.
MemberI have long, thin hair as well. Fortunately, so does my hair stylist so she’s no stranger to working with it! I sent her a few inspiration pics and we both like this best:
My hair trial isn’t until March 28, but I’ll be sure to post pics afterward!
Member@barika: That looks gorgeous! I would think you had reaaaally long hair or thick hair with how that turned out. I love how the curls add volume and texture. I might have to try something like that. Unfortunately, since my veil is Cathedral length, I can’t really wear it all night, but from that pic your hair looks like it would have been beautiful even without the veil!
@SavBride: Very true! I’ve worn my hair like that in a few weddings I’ve been in and it’s always worked really well with my fine/thin hair. I just want a new style for my day. 🙂 But finding a style that won’t fight my hair type is tricky.
@madteaparty: That looks like a great inspiration pic!! The girl in the photo doesn’t appear to have tons of hair either. Definitely post pics after your trial! I want to see how it turns out! 🙂
MemberHere are the inspiration pics I’m going to take to my trial!

MemberI have super fine hair that doesn’t have really ANY body in it without product. I just had my hair trial the day before yesterday and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to do an updo without extensions, but my MUA/stylist assured me we could do the updo with just my hair. It turned out great!!
Here’s a pic of my hair normally:
And here’s what we accomplished at the hair trial:
Sorry for the huge! But even though this isn’t the best shot, I assure you it was full and made me look like I had thicker hair than I do. It can be done!

I also have baby hair so the stylist used extensions at my trial. Super easy to use as they clip right in. Here is what the back looked like:
HostessThis was from a bridal inspiration shoot that I modeled for last year. I have baby fine hair and was positive that the hair stylist wasn’t going to be able to do anything since we weren’t using extensions. Curls and hair spray go a long way though!
I’m having a half up half down style for my own wedding, but this was so pretty for the shoot.
Keep in mind, that you can always get clip-in extensions too. Remy hair is what my stylist recommends, and I’ll be getting them to help give my style for the wedding a little bit more volume. 🙂
Member@CityBearBride: LOVE both of those. Adds detail without needing a lot of hair.
@BeeEuphoric: Thanks for those pictures! My hair is very similar to yours–just longer. And that’s similar to the style I’ve been considering. I like how the twists look.
@BrooklynBride2013: That looks gorgeous! I haven’t thought of extensions yet–may look into it.
@Pacificgirl: Oh wow! I love how your hair looks in those photos! Thanks for sharing. I really might have to look into extensions.
MemberAnother vote for clip in extensions. I used them and it made a world of difference!! Unfortunately I don’t have any really good pictures of my updo, but I had a victory curl on one side and a french twist in the back and it was AWESOME!!!

i have really thin curly hair and i am planning on doing a hairstyle like this one. I may opt for extensions though because i would like the bun to look fuller
Member@Brideonabudgetlauren: That sounds gorgeous!! Did you have an inspiration pic or just let the stylist do her thing?
