Here are the top 5 hairstyles that hold up beautifully in breezy climates, along with product tips and styling secrets to ensure your glam stays flawless from “I do” to the final photo.

1. Romantic Low Chignon

Why It Works:
A low chignon is a classic choice for windy elopements. This style gathers your hair at the nape of your neck, keeping it secure while still looking elegant and soft. The chignon’s low placement prevents flyaways from being too noticeable and adds sophistication to your bridal look.

Pro Tip:
Add a delicate hairpiece or floral comb for extra romance, and lock the style in place with a weather-resistant hairspray.

👉 Recommended Product:
Kenra Volume Spray 25 for firm hold that withstands gusty weather.

2. Braided Crown or Halo Braid

Why It Works:
A braided crown wraps your hair around your head, keeping it off your face and away from the wind. It’s perfect for adding texture and elegance to your look, and it pairs beautifully with boho or rustic elopement themes.

Pro Tip:
Loose tendrils around the face add softness but should be tamed with lightweight styling cream to avoid frizz.

👉 Recommended Product:
Prep with Color Wow Dream Coat to keep hair smooth and free of flyaways.

3. Classic French Twist

Why It Works:
This timeless updo is sleek, secure, and ideal for high winds. It pulls all the hair back neatly, creating a polished look that works for both formal and minimalist settings.

Pro Tip:
Use bobby pins and a strong-hold setting spray to keep the twist intact all day. Add a veil or accessory for extra flair.

👉 Recommended Product:
Göt2b Glued Blasting Freeze Spray to keep every strand in place, even in the most challenging conditions.

4. Loose Waves with a Secure Half-Up Style

Why It Works:
For brides who want to wear their hair down but worry about the wind, a half-up style is the perfect compromise. It keeps the front sections of your hair secure while allowing the rest to cascade in soft waves.

Pro Tip:
We use texturizing sprays to give waves definition and structure, so they don’t look limp in photos.

👉 Recommended Product:
Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray for touchable waves that hold up in the wind.

5. Intricate Braided Updo

Why It Works:
Braids are the MVP of windy locations. An intricate braided updo combines the security of an updo with the texture and beauty of braids. This style is perfect for adventurous brides who want something unique and durable.

Pro Tip:
Add small accessories like pearls or greenery to enhance the braids while maintaining a natural, effortless vibe.

👉 Recommended Product:
Moroccanoil Styling Cream to hydrate and control flyaways while braiding.
