When you know your partner is about to pop the question, one of the things every girl considers is having her nails in perfect shape. Indeed, this totally makes sense, however, if you are daydreaming about posting some of your engagement photos on social media, you need to think about your hair too! It’s tricky because you don’t want to be caught off guard with a messy top knot. Equally, you don’t want to look too done, especially when you don’t know when exactly it is going to happen. The right engagement hair should be flattering but simple enough to look like ‘you had no idea’.
Whether you have already said ‘yes’ and searching for engagement party hairstyle ideas, or getting ready to look smashing when he gets on one knee, we have collated a few ideas for you.
A Ponytail with a Scarf Detail
A simple detail, like a hair accessory, can add a bit of oomph to a simple, low-maintenance hairstyle. This is exactly what you need to look on point without giving away too much of your anticipation. Leave a few loose strands at the front for that picture-perfect face framing.
Mermaid Waves and Braids
If you think he’s going to propose when you are on holiday, opt for a simple wavy half-up half-down style with braids. Probably the most perfect holiday hair, mermaid waves will look like a dream in your engagement pictures.
Braided Updo with Cute Hair Jewels
Are you looking for the best engagement party hairstyle? Try this soft braided bun, because, frankly, it will look good on virtually anyone. Detailed and sophisticated, this updo is also incredibly relaxed and effortless at the same time. If you are a sucker for sparkles just as much as we are, add a few hair jewels for that extra special look.
Bouncy Blow Out with Curtain Bangs
No matter the occasion, big and bouncy curls always look divine, and the good news is that you can easily master creating those yourself. If you dread using a round brush, you don’t necessarily have to. Instead, curl your hair with a big barrel curler. Try 1.25” (32 mm) or even 1.5” (38 mm) to mimic that effortless salon-like look. Pin the curls with some metal clips and make sure they are cool before you brush them. Make sure you apply some heat protection spray and use hot tools only on fully dry hair.
Twisted Half Up Half Down Hairstyle
When it comes to choosing a hairstyle for your engagement party or a bridal shower, think of the look that will make you feel most confident and beautiful. Perhaps a half-up half-down ‘do is one of those versatile styles that tick all the boxes. If you are conscious of the thickness or length of your hair, consider using clip-in extensions. You will be able to reuse them for your wedding too.
