The Wedding Haircut Trend Has Brides Chopping Off Their Hair Halfway Through the Big Day

The dress, the venue, the vows…weddings are meant to memorable. But when it comes to beauty, the “wedding haircut” or “wedding chop” that’s currently trending on TikTok is making damn sure that the bride’s glow-up makes a lasting statement.

It’s not uncommon for brides to change into a second outfit between the ceremony and reception, but the wedding haircut trend, which currently has more than 35 million views on TikTok, has newlyweds slicing off their hair halfway through the day to change the entire vibe of their look.

If you’re brave enough, we love it. For indecisive brides unsure of whether to keep their hair long or go short when it comes to their wedding hairstyle, it offers the best of both. And since we often see brides growing out their hair for their wedding, then desperate to cut it off ASAP afterwards, incorporating the big chop into the day can make an even more special moment out of it.

Plus, we love the styling opportunities a new cut offers. You could always swap the veil out for a statement bow or delicate accessories.

One video with 2.7 million likes comes from a bride named Aria, who uploaded a video with the caption, “Some ppl change their outfit during their wedding… Me? Well… My brother’s mother-in-law is a hair dresser… And we had 30 min to complete the look. And my (now) husband had no idea 😂. I did both.” In the clip she cut her long chest-length hair to an above-the-shoulder bob. 

And people are coming out in support in the comments. “I want to be this extra,” one user wrote. Another wrote, “Iconic.” And another pointed out the sweet symbolism of the moment, writing, “I love it!! Very signifying of new beginnings!”

Another bride, Steph, called on her bridesmaid to cut her boob-length hair just below the shoulder instead of a dress change for her big day.

One bride named Lisa swapped out her blonde chignon for an above-the-shoulder bob.

Another swept her long hair into a blunt bob in time for her first dance. 

And Vora made a pitstop at her hair salon before dinner with her new husband.

If cutting your hair halfway through the day isn’t bold enough, we’ve even seen a bride dye her hair from blonde to copper red between her ceremony and reception.
