elegant bridesmaid updo Medium Bridesmaid Hairstyles for Straight Hair An elegant bridal party look for medium length straight hair is to pull it back with a side part, leaving the front caressing the side of the face. The ends can then be curled and pinned. A variation on this is to part only the bangs.

Another lovely look is to secure the hair at the nape of the neck in a charming chignon. If the hair is all one length it can be pulled back, secured high, then curled and pinned. This looks great on its own or with a small headband. Layered hair looks great flipped out or under for a softer look. A nice alternative that works with many styles is to pull up the top portion of the hair and secure it near the crown of the head adding some volume in the process.

Sectioning the hair and then twisting it loosely and securing it can create a charming up-do though the look is not easy to accomplish with all hair types. If aiming for a blown out super straight look, then conditioning every day until the ceremony is a must, as it is a good way to avoid frizzing or any damage to the hair.
