Planning a wedding in Cancun, Mexico, and considering whether to wear your hair up or down?

Don’t worry too much – whatever you choose, you’ll look amazing!

To help decide on the perfect hairstyle for your big day, we’ve put together advice on bridal hair hairstyles for beach destination weddings in Mexico.

What kind of dress are you wearing? 

When deciding on a hairstyle for your Cancun or Tulum wedding day, it’s important to consider what type of dress you’re wearing. For example, if your dress features an intricate back or exposes your shoulders then you may want to opt for an updo or half-up hairstyle to emphasize those areas 😉

Alternatively, if you’re wearing a strapless gown then hairstyles such as soft glam waves or leaving your hair down will complement the look beautifully.

On the other hand, if you’re wearing a high-neck dress, an updo will draw attention away from your face to emphasize the details of your neckline. 

Before the big day, take some time to think about some of your favorite hairstyles and even save them in one place like a Pinterest Board – this will help you identify the perfect look for when you walk down the aisle and help us understand your inspiration.

How do you usually wear your hair? 

When deciding whether to wear your hair up or down for your beach destination wedding, it’s important to consider a few factors. Firstly, you’ll want to think about what you’re most comfortable with — do you typically wear your hair up or down?

Additionally, consider how your hair normally responds to styling — is it straight, wavy, or curly? For example: If you have super-straight, fine hair that never holds a curl, even a professional will struggle to make that happen on the big day. 

You may also choose to get longer locks just for the day with hair extensions if the length and volume of your natural hair aren’t enough.

Think about the texture and length of your hair, and go with what works best naturally. For example … Curly hair looks amazing either up or down, styled or just natural. Straight hair can be curled into waves or into a beautiful updo. Wavy hair can be either straightened or curled and is the perfect texture for half-up/half-down styles and updos.

At the end of the day, trust your instincts and choose whatever style you love while considering a hairstyle that endures all kinds of conditions (humidity, sweat, breeze, and many hugs from your loved ones …). Perhaps even consider getting a touch-up package or changing your look during the event if desired!
