Marital Bliss: See the Top 5 Wedding Belles Styling Entries

Alisha Jared, @alishajaredhairartistry: Jared used a twisting technique, using texture powder to give me the texture needed to pull the twists apart and separate everything for an airy feel. She then wove the twists together and directed the style to one side.

Anaa Khan, @hairbyanaak: Blow dry hair with oil serum then add texture with a texture iron. Curl ends with a 1 1/4-inch iron. She sectioned out the front and curled that with a 1-inch iron while the rest of the hair was tied into a ponytail at the base of the head. Half the hair was rolled underneath and the rest was twisted and waved upward towards the crown of the head. The front section was figure waved into place. Finish with hairspray.

Haley Garber, @beautybyhaleygarber: Garber used mini topsy turvy ponytails gently pulled loose to give it the detail and ensure that the style stays secure. She began at the crown of my head and then created the details around the hairline, joining those together at the nape. Garber left out small strands of hair and braided those into the hair flowers to add detail. Finish with hairspray.

Alexandra Wilson, @alexandralee1016: Wilson started by doing a basic topsy tails down the center of the head and pulling them out for texture with texture powder (leaving sections in front of the ears out). After creating a base. she curled front sections and intertwined them through topsy tails, creating more detail and leaving some ends out to keep that romantic, soft feel. Use hairspray to finish.

Kristina Beaty, @theglamtech: Inspired from the retro style of women from the 1940s, this style incorporates Beaty's signature dry waving technique with two braids crisscrossing over the bun at the nape, adding blends of color for interest. She used shine treatment, and styling spray for hold. Curling wax was used to polish the hairline.
