Top 10 Wedding Hair Tips ....


These tips assume that you are going to be using your regular hairdresser to plan your style on your wedding day.... 
  1. Plan! Plan! Plan! the earlier you start to plan the better. This gives you the chance to get your hair in 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 your 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 isnt really you. 
  5. Start weekly conditioning treatments at least 3 months before your wedding. 
  6. Give your 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 hair-grips and pins in a matt color in a shade similar to you hair, hairbrush, tail comb, hairspray and shine spray.
Lastly, one thing i recommend .. have one of your bridesmaids bring a radio with some soothing music you would like to listen to on the day of.... it helps alleviate stress that day, and makes it more fun!! :)
