16. The French Twist Messy Hybrid
The French twist is the epitome of classic sophistication, but it can sometimes feel a bit too rigid for a modern wedding. The French twist messy hybrid solves this by combining the elegant, elongated silhouette of a traditional French twist with the soft, undone texture of a messy bun. The hair is swept up and rolled into a twist along the back of the head, but instead of tucking the ends neatly inside, they are allowed to spill out over the top in a fountain of soft, messy curls and waves. This creates an incredibly chic, editorial look that is perfect for a modern, fashion-forward bride.
