Growing up, whenever I envisioned my wedding day, I always pictured myself with long, flowy hair\u2014the opposite of my kinky 4C coils. Wearing my natural hair in mini twists for my recent engagement, however, completely changed my vision. Not only did I feel confident in my natural texture, but I also felt completely myself\u2014a feeling, I\u2019ve found, is imperative to enjoying milestone moments. \u201cWearing natural hair [on your wedding day] can boost confidence and empower Black brides to feel proud of their cultural heritage and individuality,\u201d says Keziah Jones, founder of Black-owned bridal makeup and hair company, The Key Look. \u201cEmbracing natural hair on such a significant occasion can be a powerful statement of self-love and acceptance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The misconception that wedding hairstyles for Black women have to be long and straight is out. Now, brides-to-be can look to a vast list of textured hairstyle options that are beautiful and elegant enough for even the most momentous occasions. If you\u2019re unsure how to start ideating your wedding hairstyle, Jones says to consider your hair texture first. \u201cBlack hair comes in various textures: curly, coily, or kinky. So choose a hairstyle that complements your natural texture and makes you feel comfortable and confident,\u201d says Jones. For example, kinky type 4 coils may not lend well to a messy bun style like wavy type 3 curls would.<\/p>\n

Also, think about the weather\u2014depending on the season and location of your wedding, the climate may affect your hairstyle. \u201cHumidity, wind, or rain can impact certain styles, so choose one that will hold up throughout the day,\u201d says Jones. Lastly, the wedding outfit ultimately determines the hairstyle. \u201cYour chosen hairstyle should complement the overall theme of your wedding and work well with your dress,\u201d says Jones. \u201cDoesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s an updo, braids, twists, or a natural afro, make sure it harmonizes with your overall bridal look.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether you want to let your Afro do its thing or are looking for a more structured style, the possibilities are just about endless. For my own wedding day, I\u2019m currently envisioning a braided crown bun or curly updo. Below, discover bridal hairstyles that let your natural hair shine in all its glory.<\/p>\n
