Tips for your Wedding Hair

June 22, 2010 | Author: Leslie, Hair, Hair Care Tips, Wedding Hairstyles

Ideally, your wedding “get up” should be in this order: wedding gown, hairstyle and make up, and veil. It is easier to find the right veil after deciding what hairstyle you will be sporting on your wedding day instead of finding the right hairstyle that will match your veil. You might end up with a style that does not suit your face and make up instead.

Plan ahead of time. If you have a certain style that you want to wear on your wedding day, you should allow plenty of time to achieve the look you want and make any necessary changes or repairs if needed. For example, you want to wear your hair short or have a perm or different color and you go to the salon to have it done only to find out later that it does not suit you. If you do these six months or so in advance, you have the time to grow it out and make the necessary adjustments as it gets near the wedding date.

Practice makes perfect. Whether you DIY your hair or have a hair stylist do it for you, it is best to do several trial runs to see which style will suit you best. You might have searched over the internet or gone through tons of magazines to look for the styles you like but unless you try it on yourself, you are not 100% sure that the hairstyle you chose will be the best for you. It might look great in the picture but not so great on you.

If your hairstylist is a good friend and is invited to your wedding, you can rest assured that you have someone to take care of your hair during the ceremony and reception should there be any hair emergencies with your ‘do. But if not, make sure to ask the stylist for tips and tricks that you can do on your own to make sure your hair is at its best on your wedding day.

Wedding Hairstyles

March 7, 2010 | Author: Leslie, Hair

Have you picked out how you’ll be wearing your hair on the big day? No? Check out these helpful tips.

Decide if you’re going to wear your hair long, medium length, or short. When you pick how long or short you want your hair to be, it will be easier to think of the possible styles appropriate for the length.

Hopefully by this time, you already have your wedding dress and veil. Browse through bridal magazines and pick out which you like and think would work with your gown. The veil and the hair should also work together.

Have more than one choice for your hairstylist. Set consultation dates, inform them of what you like and don’t, show them a picture of your wedding dress and ask for their own input, try some hairstyles you had picked from magazines, and find which one would work best with you from there.

If you have decided on the hairstylist, it’s time to decide on the hairstyle. If you are going for a drastic change, you should make it well before the actual wedding day. This way you have time to adjust and get used to it and work any kinks that might come up.
