Much preparation has to go into the bride’s dress,
and so should her crowning glory, the hair. Follow this simple guide on how
to plan for the perfect wedding hairstyle.
Weeks before your wedding day choose a hairdresser that will make your do
at the wedding. Find a hairdresser that is recommended by someone you know
and trust; someone that they had a good experience with.
1. Establish a good rapport with the hairdresser. You should be comfortable
in discussing with him or her on the style and look you want. Some
hairdressers insist on some do that they dreamed would be made for them. Be
firm in telling him or her what you want and don’t want.
2. Discuss in length the shape of your face in relation to the hairstyle
that he or she proposes. Try the following styles:
-Up do's signify elegance and this is what most brides want.
-Tired of the bun? Achieve the same polished look with braids instead. From
cornrows to French twists, there are numerous interesting ways to set your
hair in place.
-Letting your hair down, especially of the mid-length can emanate romance.
Flip the edges out for a little retro look.
-Short hair can be spruced up with color highlights or shiny curls.
3. Ask to schedule a practice session to mock-up the intended hair do for
your wedding day. You may need to pay extra for this mock-up session, but
it’s worth the buck to ensure you look lovely during your wedding.
4. Part of the mock-up is for you to carry the hairstyle. Check side and
rear views for how the hairstyle looks and make sure it is made to your
liking. You are the center of attention on the wedding day, so you should
be beautiful 360 degrees!
5. Walk around the salon with your hairstyle. Try to bob your head abit or
do other head movements that you think will happen on wedding day. Make
sure your hairstyle withstands all the head activity and that you and your
scalp will be comfortable for hours.
6. Now, traditionally, they say it is bad luck to try on your wedding dress
before the wedding day. But you need to be sure that your hairstyle matches
the gown. Don’t worry; you can still approximate the look by using other
dresses. Look for a dress that has the same collar style as your wedding
dress. Then put on something that approximates the same lines of your
wedding gown. View yourself on the mirror, and imagine yourself in white…
does the hairstyle match?
7. On the eve of the wedding, get a head massage, on second thought, get a
whole body massage! This relaxes your body, opens your pores and freshens
up your skin.
Gets yourself ready for your momentous event: plan for your wedding day
hairstyle and achieve the perfect wedding day look!
