From a simple braid or low bun to big, bouncy waves, discover our round up of the easy-to-master DIY wedding hairstyles that are super easy to achieve with these trending haircare tools.

1. Separate your hair into small sections. The smaller the sections, the tighter the curls will be. Use clips or hair ties to keep the sections organised!

2. Take one section of hair and hold it at the ends. Open the curling barrel of the styler and place the section of hair inside, making sure the ends are securely in place.

3. Close the curling barrel and hold it in place for a few seconds. The exact timing will depend on your hair type and desired curl intensity. For looser curls, hold for around 5-10 seconds; for tighter curls, hold for 10-15 seconds.

4. Release the curl by opening the barrel and sliding the styler down the section of hair. Be careful not to tug or pull on the curl to avoid ruining its shape.

5. Spray away with your favourite hairspray to keep them dancefloor-ready all night long.

1. Separate your hair in the middle, and take a medium section from the back to start with (you'll work your way through sections all over your head, finishing at the front)

2. Turn your Dyson Corrale™ straightener inwards and pull down two inches, turn outwards and pull down two inches. And repeat on every section.

3. Brush out for a softer effect and spray with your favourite hairspray to finish. Perfect for summer weddings, this classic wave look will look gorgeous left natural without accessories or worn with floral or diamond-encrusted pieces.

1. Having applied your preferred mousse to roots and ends of hair, attach your diffuser and dry the hair very slowly from upside down and leaning back (not from soaking wet) without touching the hair.

2. Once dry, tie the hair back into a soft knot at the base of the neck by creating a very loose ponytail with three quarters of the hair and securing into a knot using pins and grips, leaving a few of the tendrils to fall out.

3. Taking the front section, pin pieces of the hair you have left out into this knot while leaving the odd strands loose to give the style that very soft and natural movement.

1. Wash and towel-dry your hair - you need squeaky clean hair for a sleek do like this!

2. Divide your hair into two sections, horizontally, with a parting just above the ears. Clip the top section away for now.

3. Take the bottom section of hair and use the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer with the smoothing nozzle to dry it. Hold the dryer at a 45-degree angle and aim the airflow downward, using a brush or comb to smooth and straighten the hair as you dry it. Repeat on the other section.

4. When dry, secure hair into a low ponytail. Twist the ponytail in one direction, gathering into a low bun at the nape of your neck and secure it with pins.

5. To finish the look, use the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer with the smoothing nozzle again to lightly smooth out any flyaways or frizz around the hairline or the bun, setting with shine spray and holding hairspray.

1. Attach the appropriate styling barrel to the Dyson Airwrap, depending on the desired curl size. Sophie Habboo typically sports loose, voluminous waves, so consider using the larger barrels.

2. Divide your hair into manageable sections. Working with smaller sections at a time will ensure even styling and better results.

3. Take one section of hair and hold it at the ends. Position the Dyson Airwrap near the roots and slowly move it down towards the ends while simultaneously guiding the hair around the barrel. Allow the Airwrap to do the work by drawing in the hair automatically. Hold for a few seconds to set the curl.

4. Continue wrapping and curling each section of hair until you've styled your entire head. Remember to switch directions with each section, alternating between wrapping the hair towards and away from the face. This will create a more natural-looking and voluminous result.

Note: For added volume and lift at the roots, you can use the Dyson Airwrap's pre-styling dryer attachment to blow-dry the roots before curling.
