Bridal hairstyles – what a dilemma. What to do with your hair to make sure it looks great, suits the dress and will stay up all day? There is plenty of inspiration out there, for brides with both short and long hair. But today Zk is concentrating on the shorter cuts.
Having shorter hair makes life a little easier in some ways. Short hair kind of just stays where it should, thank goodness. However, many bridal hairstyle ideas are based on styles with longer hair. So what can brides with shorter hair do…apart from adding on a hairpiece or extensions?

While you might feel you’re more limited in terms of what you can do with your hair, you still want to look great. So why don’t you take a look at these tips – we hope they help.

*Get the best cut - This doesn’t have to mean cutting your hair at a top salon; just find a good hairdresser who’s not scared of short hair. You may well already have that hairdresser’s number in your mobile, so give him/her a call and get talking. It takes time to get a style just right, so the sooner you start thinking about this, the more things you can try out.

*Colour - Choices for dying your hair are as numerous as dress styles. But as with the dress styles, so with colour – only some will suit you. Again, talk to your hairdresser, describe your dress, etc and try things out, taking into account the effect of the sun on your colour.

*Decorate! - Again, there are so many options for decorating your hair, including tiaras, jewels. If your hair is short, don’t load it with too many flowers, otherwise your hair decorations will be bigger than you!

Here are some celebrity styles that might inspire you short-haired brides out there for your big day.
