Top 10 Tips For Great Wedding Day Hair
Skye Irwin
These tips assume that you are going to be using
your regular hairdresser to plan your style and on your wedding day.
However if you plan to style your hair yourself, you can easily follow the
same timetable and I have added some extra tips for you.
1. Plan! Plan! Plan! The earlier you start to plan the better. This gives
you the chance to get your hair into the best condition possible and to
have practice runs with your hairdresser trying out different styles and
colors as well as trying out veils, tiaras and flowers. Ideally start this
process 6 months before.
2. Collect pictures of possible hairstyles from all different magazines
not just wedding magazines and discuss them with your hairdresser at least
4 months before your big day.
3. Each time you go to the hairdressers to try out a potential wedding day
style take photos to help you remember what you liked about it for future
reference and take someone with you whose opinion you can trust.
4. Make the most of what you’ve already got, maximize your good points
rather than going for a look that isn’t really you.
5. Start weekly conditioning treatments at least 3 months before your
wedding.
6. Give you hair a break from harsh styling methods and equipment; this
will help with getting your hair in tip-top condition.
7. If you are having flowers in your hair have a trial run with your
hairdresser a couple of months before and make sure you have your
appointment booked for the wedding day.
8. One month before have a trial run with your veil/ tiara and finalize
with your hairdresser the style you have decided upon.
9. If you are having an updo on the day, wash your hair the night before
as just-washed hair can be harder to manage.
10. Make sure you have an SOS kit on your big day, which you can give to
the bridesmaid with the biggest handbag! - Plenty of hairgrips and pins in
a matt color in a shade similar to your hair, hairbrush, tail comb,
hairspray and shine spray.
Extra tips if you are doing your hairstyling yourself
1. As well as planning your style in the months before your wedding you
need to try out various styling products so that you can be confident that
the ones you are using on the day will make your hair look it’s best.
2. To avoid your hair being flat use most styling product on the roots.
3. Hair products from the same range are designed to work together.
4. Have a trial run with your veil and tiara on the style you have chosen.
To fix them into your hair, use clear combs and matt grips in a similar
shade to your hair. If it’s practical, keep them in your hair for a few
hours to make sure they have staying power and to avoid having a slipping
veil and tiara on the day.
Last but not least relax and enjoy your day :o)
