Decisions! Decisions! I recently came across this email showcasing bridal hair design by Antonio Corral Calero, Moroccanoil® Artistic Director for the Monique Lhuillier Fall 2014 Bridal Collection.
Antonio designed six different variations of braided looks: “The attention was on the matte texture of the hair and the intricate details of each braided bun, parted side or center, with minimal volume on top.”

First Look
- “To begin, I combed all the hair towards the back of the head
- “I then created three large parts: right, left and back.”
- “Each of the three parts became a braid. The right and left sides were inward French braids and the back braid between them was a standard braid, which would serve as the base for the chignon.”
- “I pulled the left and right braids around the back of the head and then wrapped them several times around the back braid.They wrapped about halfway down the back braid.”
- “I pinned the bottom part of the braid inwards, towards the nape, and created the chignon.”
- “To give the chignon a more romantic and uneven look, I gently pulled and opened elements of each braid slightly within the chignon.”
- "First, I parted the hair to the side."
- "Next, I divided the hair into three parts: right, left and back"
- "Each of the three parts became a braid. The right and left sides were inward French braids and the back braid between them was a standard braid, which would serve as the base for the chignon."
- "I pulled the left and right braids around the back of the head and then wrapped them several times around the back braid. They wrapped about halfway down the back braid."
- "I pinned the bottom part of the braid inwards, towards the nape, and created the chignon."
- "To give the chignon a more romantic and uneven look, I gently pulled and opened elements of each braid slightly within the chignon."
- "For this look, I combed all of the model’s hair towards the back and used Moroccanoil® Luminous Hair Spray Medium to help control and eliminate fly-aways close to her face. Moroccanoil® Luminous Hair Spray Medium is the perfect tool for this look: it gives the right amount of hold to keep
- the hair in place, and leaves it looking beautiful with natural shine."
- "Next, I divided the hair into three parts: right, left and back. "
- "Each of the three parts became a braid. All were standard braids, which would serve as the base for the chignon.
- "I crossed the right braid with the left towards the back of her head, and clipped it into place."
- "Then, I took the back braid and twisted it towards the outside, rolling it towards the crown. I used clips on all three braids at the bottom of the chignon, to hide the ends.
- "As a final step, to give the chignon a less tight, more romantic and slightly uneven look, I gently pulled and opened elements of each braid slightly within the chignon."
Fourth Look
- "For the fourth look, I combed all the hair towards the back of the head and used Moroccanoil® Luminous Hair Spray Medium to help control and eliminate fly-aways close to her face."
- "Next, I divided the hair into three parts: right, left and back."
- "Each of the three parts became a braid. The right and left were lace braids. The back (middle) braid was a standard braid, which would serve as the base for the chignon."
- "I pulled the left and right braids around the back of the head and then wrapped them several times around the back braid. They wrapped about halfway down the back braid."
- "I pinned the bottom part of the braid inwards, towards the nape, and created the chignon."
- "To give the chignon a less tight, more romantic and slightly uneven look, I gently pulled and opened elements of each braid slightly within the chignon."
Fifth Look
- "I began by parting the model’s hair to the side."
- "Then, I divided her hair into three parts: right, left and back."
- "I created two braids: one on the right and another on the left. One was a regular braid, and the other a French braid.
- "The back (middle) part was turned into a ponytail, which I back-combed slightly."
- "The right braid was crossed with the left, towards the back in a circular motion around the back braid until mid-ponytail. "
- "Next, I pinned the bottom part of the braid inwards, towards the nape to create the chignon."
- "As a final step, to give the chignon a less tight, more romantic look, I gently pulled and opened elements of each braid within the chignon."
Sixth Look
- "To create the final look I began by combing all of the model’s hair towards the back of her head. I used Moroccanoil® Luminous Hairspray Medium to control any fly-aways close to her face."
- "Next, I divided her hair into three parts: right, left and back."
- "The right and left parts were turned into feather braids. The back(middle) part was turned into a slightly back-combed ponytail."
- "I then crossed the right braid with the left towards the back of the head, circling the back part until mid-ponytail."
- "Next, the bottom part of the braid and ponytail were pinned inwards towards the nape to create the chignon."
- "As a final step, to give the chignon a less tight, more romantic look, I gently pulled and opened elements of each braid within the chignon.
What do you think about having a braided do for your wedding?
