Achieving the Iconic Bridgerton Hairstyles

The romantic hairstyles of Bridgerton are a joy to recreate at home. Here is what the look is called, and how to achieve it with a few simple steps.

What is the Bridgerton style called?

The hairstyles seen in the Netflix series Bridgerton have inspired many of us. These elaborate, romantic styles take their cue from the Regency era of the early 19th century. The Bridgerton style, often called Regencycore, is known for soft curls, elegant updos and pretty accessories such as tiaras, ribbons and hair pins. It captures the refined fashion of the period while blending history with a modern touch.

How do you get Daphne hair?

Daphne Bridgerton, one of the show's main characters, is known for her graceful, effortlessly chic hairstyles. To achieve her look, follow these steps:

1. Start with clean hair: begin with freshly washed and conditioned hair, so it is free of buildup and ready to hold a style.
2. Blow dry with volume: use a volumising mousse or spray before blow-drying to add lift and body. A round brush helps create smoothness and volume at the roots.
3. Create soft curls: using a medium-barrel curling iron, curl sections of hair away from your face. Hold each curl for a few seconds before releasing, then gently loosen the curls with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
4. Form a half-up style: part your hair in the middle and take small sections from either side of your head. Draw these back and secure them with a crystal barrette, such as our Narrow Crystal Barrette Clip, which is a lovely finishing touch to a half-up style.
5. Finish with hairspray: lightly mist your hair with a flexible-hold hairspray to keep the style in place without making it stiff.

Are Bridgerton hairstyles accurate?

While Bridgerton takes inspiration from the Regency era, the hairstyles are not strictly historically accurate. The show's creators chose a blend of period styles and contemporary influences for a look that feels both beautiful and relatable.

In the early 19th century, women's hairstyles typically featured tight curls around the face, intricate updos and various adornments. Bridgerton introduces softer, looser curls and more relaxed updos that reflect modern hair trends.
