What hairstyle to do for a photo shoot on medium, long, short hair
Studio photos are beautiful and fashionable, so many girls arrange photo shoots even for no reason. You need to carefully prepare for such an event so that the result looks perfect, because not everything depends on the skill of the photographer.
Think in advance what hairstyle you can do for a photo shoot so that on the appointed day you have everything you need at hand.
Preparing for a photo shoot in the studio
It doesn’t matter what styling you plan to do, but a couple of days before the shooting, some preparation is necessary: it is worth visiting the hairdresser and trimming the haircut.
If you have long hair, just cut off the split ends.
Also take care of the hair color, you need to paint over the roots and give the hair a rich beautiful shade.
If you do not dye your hair, but the theme of the photo shoot requires bright colors, you can use colored crayons or mascara, such products are applied immediately before styling.
Before choosing a hairstyle for a photo shoot, talk to the photographer, clarify all the details of the upcoming shoot, lighting features, and the style of the scenery.
If you plan to shoot outdoors on a windy day, opt for natural styling. Any complex hairstyle will look too far-fetched, and curls that develop in the wind will give your look a special charm.
Hairstyles for a photo shoot in a studio for a girl are room for imagination, because the choice of styling will depend on your outfit and the photographer’s idea:
Easy hairstyles for short hair
If you have a short haircut, you should look at light hairstyles for a photo shoot – the photo shows just such options:
Relaxed strands and flirty curls will make you look younger and more attractive.
Do not use wax or clay for styling – such products make hair stiff.
If in real life such styling takes place, then in studio photographs such experiments with styling will look far-fetched and unnatural.
Lay the curls with foam or mousse, giving the hair volume and naturalness.
Do not forget to visit the hairdresser the day before the photo shoot to update the contours of the haircut.
Even if you plan to wind curls on a curling iron or curlers, the absence of lifeless ends will allow you to make the most stable and neat styling.
Simple but beautiful options with bangs
Beautiful hairstyles for a photo shoot for short hair are styling that open the face as much as possible, you can use invisible or other accessories:
Of course, if you’re looking to hide flaws in your appearance, like protruding ears or a scar on your forehead, flowing curls are perfect.
But do not resort to styling products with a high degree of fixation – the image should look natural.
If you plan to remove hair from your face, but rarely did before, experiment the day before. Make sure that the styling suits you and decorates your appearance, and not vice versa.
This is especially true for hairstyles for a photo shoot with bangs – photos on the front camera of a smartphone will help you make sure that the absence of a bang suits you:
If you wear a page haircut, lay the ends of your hair up, that is, from the face.
Short bangs can be left straight, and if the bangs have grown slightly, make a side parting and lay the bangs in the direction of the bulk of the hair.
Be sure to try on the headband, it is better to leave the bangs, otherwise you risk not recognizing yourself in the photographs.
No need to try to style short hair like a bob in a “bun" or updo with curls and curls – a simple do-it-yourself hairstyle is best for a photo shoot.

- Now grab some of the hair on the right side with your fingers and attach it to the right strand.
- Place this strand under the middle one.
- Do the same on the left side.
- Continue to weave a spikelet braid, picking up new strands alternately on each side, and do not put the side strands on top of the middle one, but hide it under it.

winter images
In winter, photo shoots in the image of the Snow Queen are popular – hairstyles for a photo shoot for girls with long hair are particularly diverse:
A mysterious and strict “queen” will turn out if you straighten your hair with an iron and add silver mascara to the ends.
Hairstyle can be supplemented with a silver tiara.

Successful hairstyle for a photo shoot of a pregnant woman
A good hairstyle for a pregnant photo shoot is curls, you can wind curls with the help of curlers, hairpins or curling irons:

If you wear an elongated bang on the side, you can curl it to match the bulk of the hair.
This solution looks especially harmonious on short hair and curls of medium length.
Do not use glitter or any accessories to make the look as gentle as possible. The expectant mother should radiate care, try to create a reverent and affectionate natural image.
You can afford a live flower behind your ear or a wreath of flowers and leaves.
- If you have naturally straight hair, you rarely curl it, you should not make small curls – you risk simply not recognizing yourself in the photographs.
Hairstyle ideas for a mom-to-be photo shoot include variable styling – curls are initially curled, which are then collected into a slightly messy hairstyle like a bun:
The model is first photographed with her hair collected, and then with her hair loose – the hairstyle changes, you just need to get the hairpins from the bun.
You can curl your hair into a shell, make a low ponytail or a braid, leaving a couple of strands in front.
Owners of short hair should not worry at all – give up hard styling and sparkles, let the styling look natural.
If you want to change the image during the shooting, use accessories – headbands, wreaths, cuffs.
Try the option with the unusual name "waterfall".
- Take part of the hair above the ear and divide it into three parts, conditionally drawing two horizontal borders.
- Cover the middle strand with the top strand, then cover the middle strand with the bottom – as in a classic spikelet.
- Then, before covering the middle strand with the top, add a small strand of loose hair to the last.
- Leave the bottom strand down, and instead form another strand of free hair and place it on the middle one.
- Continue weaving the braid in this way, moving from one temple to another, fasten the edge of the braid with invisibility.
Hairstyles for children’s photo shoots
Preparing for a children’s photo shoot is an even more difficult task, because the girl still cannot easily manage her hair, does not know how to bow her head to achieve the best effect.
Do not choose a beautiful hairstyle with multi-tiered buns and tight curls for a girl’s photo shoot – such styling will look unnatural on a young beauty.
You don’t need to get carried away with too childish hairstyles either – traditional ponytails with bows are not suitable for a photo shoot for a girl over 5 years old.
The malvina hairstyle is recommended for young babies, and it will turn older girls into babies.
It is best to use neat bundles made with a twister or donut of foam rubber.
Such a bundle can be decorated with flowers, mesh, studs with tips or put on a headband.
What other hairstyle can a girl do
A hairstyle for a girl for a photo shoot based on braids has a place to be, but braids should not be typically “schooly” or too intricate:
You can experiment with "elongated" voluminous braids or make a wreath out of a braid.
Do not weave all the hair into wreath braids so that the girl does not seem bald in the photographs, especially for blondes.
Many young fashionistas love loose curls – use curlers to curl them, because a hot curling iron can turn into an injury for a restless baby.
If desired, complement the curls with a diadem, headband or decorative "crab".
Beautiful professional shots are a memory for many years, so you should responsibly approach the choice of every detail of the image:
Try to choose not only a beautiful, but also a hairstyle that is comfortable for you, so that you feel confident and can pose in front of the lens with ease and pleasure.
