Hair for open back dresses

Abby, on April 10, 2018 at 7:07 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16
Hi ladies! I have a dress with a keyhole/open back (attached a pic for reference) and I’m at a loss on how to do my hair. I have super long hair most of the way down my back and don’t want to wear my hair up at all. I think it looks best down or half up half down.

How did you ladies that have an open back wear your hair?

    I think you will be just stunning in that dress with your hair down! I have very long hair as well and love the open back style. I have tried a few with my hair in various styles and liked down, but I say do what you want, what you think looks best!

    My dress had a very similar back. I wanted my hair contained and controlled because it's heavy, curly, and thick. I loved the style and it was so comfortable

    How about something side-swept? It keeps the down look but shows the back of the dress.

    I'm torn too, as I have an open back as well and typically wear my hair down. I may consider an up-do but will most likely end up doing a half up/half down hairstyle.

    My wedding is in July and part of it is outside so wearing my long hair down will not be comfortable. Here are two styles I am currently liking.

    I love sideswept, too! It still looks like it’s down but there are so many things you can do to make it interesting like braids, barrettes, flowers.

    I have a low back on my gown and i purchased a necklace that drapes down the back to go with it so I'm doing my hair half up half down sms I'm going to have it sideswept. I wear my hair in a braid that's pulled towards one side almost every day (my hair is too long for me to reach the bottom without pulling it forward) so I think it will be a flattering and comfortable style.

    My dress has a pretty low open back. I am doing a side swept hairstyle for the big day this Saturday! Here’s my hair from my trial.

    I’m also stumped on hair.

    My dress is down near my butt and only 2 tiny spaghetti straps around my shoulders. I want to show my back and tattoos but wearing my hair up I am prone to getting headaches within 4 hours.
    100 degrees, hair up is recipe for headache
