Popular Boudoir Hair Styles - Sydney Boudoir Photography

Most clients come in with very little idea about what they want for their hair styling on the day of their boudoir photoshoot session. And that’s completely fine! We let you discuss options with our expert hair & makeup artist, because they’re the best people to know what will suit your unique hair, facial features, etc.

But we thought it might help to know about some of our most popular styles!

Loose Curls/Waves

By far, soft/loose curls and waves are our most commonly chosen hair style and certainly one of our all-time favourites in the studio! This style offers a sexy, sensual bedroom look that works especially well for boudoir portraits. It’s timeless and will match literally any outfit - whether you’re going with something strappy and bondage-esque, or something more romantic, soft curls will give you that perfectly tousled, glamorous, yet effortless ‘just woke up like this’ vibe. If you have root regrowth as well, curls are great at adding a bit of texture that will create a lovely blended look!

Straight & Sleek

Whether you have naturally straight hair or not, a sleek and straight hair style can be a gorgeous look for your boudoir photos. If you already have straight hair naturally, you’ll be done in minutes with our hair and makeup artist and will feel like yourself in your final images! If you’re naturally curly, your boudoir session might be a great opportunity to try something different. Straight hair styling can be best for people who are blessed with thicker hair, so you don’t have to sacrifice any volume in the end result.

Natural Hair

If you love your hair exactly as it is, why not rock your boudoir session with your natural hair! Our hair and makeup artists will still be able to offer a bit of product or hairspray if needed, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with wearing your natural look. Sometimes confidence comes from feeling like you’re getting glammed up beyond the every day, whereas for others, confidence comes from feeling most like yourself.

Coloured Hair

Coloured hair can pop beautifully in boudoir photographs, adding something special to an otherwise neutral image. Whether you go for something really subtle to add dimension to your natural colour, or want a look that’s more vibrant and bright, coloured hair can add a whole new dimension to your appearance. We know that booking in for a boudoir photoshoot can often be a nerve-wracking experience, but it’s also something that we see time and time again helps clients to really step outside of their comfort zone - so if you’ve thought for ages about giving your hair a colourful makeover, a boudoir session might be a great chance to do so!

Whatever hair style you choose to go with, professional hair and makeup is fully included in your session fee. We work with the best professional artists, and it’s always their (and our) goal to make sure you feel absolutely amazing on the day of your photoshoot.
