Expectant mommas, are you searching for the perfect look for your upcoming maternity session? Look no further. We’re bringing you four ideas for the best hairstyle for a maternity photoshoot—modeled by our very own moms-to-be.
Best Hairstyle for Maternity Photoshoot #1: Loose Waves
This look of long, loose, flowing waves is a crowd favorite among the moms we meet. It makes any shoot feel feminine and romantic. Plus, we can get creative with movement to show off those locks.
There are several ways to achieve this beach wave style. You can curl your hair with a large barrel curling iron and then gently brush it out. You can try heatless curls with foam rollers or the famous bathrobe belt trick. Or you can embrace your hair’s natural wave!
Hairstyle #2: Sleek Updo
A second hairstyle we love is the sleek updo. Pulling back your hair can make for more dramatic shots and pair well with black-and-white photos and simple clothing. Bonus: it’s super easy to do! All you need for the slick bun is a brush, styling cream, and a ponytail holder.
Many women love this style because it covers up second (or third, or fourth) day hair while still managing to look trendy and put together. It might be perfect for how you’re feeling in that third trimester.
Hairstyle #3: Chic Messy Bun
If you’re looking for photos that reflect everyday life, a messy bun could be just right. Start by tying your hair back into a loose bun or ponytail and then pulling out several baby strands around your face and temple. To create a little more symmetry, you can use a curler or crimper to shape those front pieces. 
Hairstyle #4: Throw on an Accessory
Finally, to spice up your maternity photos even more, you can always throw on an accessory. A hat, headband, scarf, or bandana adds fun flair to your shoot and shows off your personality! It’s easy to add into a few photos while giving you a whole new hairstyle.
