Have a Hair Trial
When you choose your hairdresser, whether they are a professional or a friend, you need to have a hair trial day long before the wedding. This way, you can try many different styles and see which one makes you feel the most comfortable and beautiful. Will you be dancing a lot on your big day? Perhaps an up-do would be appropriate to keep your hair away from your neck and shoulders.
Be sure to bring your headpiece to this session, wherever it may be. This way, your hairdresser can anticipate what style will work on you.
Don’t Be Afraid to Speak Up
Speak up! You need to vocalize what you actually want from your wedding hair. Let your stylist know if there are any celebrities you have seen whose style you’d like to emulate, and show pictures. Ask your stylist to harmonize what would suit your face shape with this style, and your end result will be something that suits you entirely.
Coarse Hair?
Do you have coarse or afro hair? All hair types are beautiful, and there are so many options out there that leave all hairstyles available to all hair types, with a little creativity.
Take Photos
Bringing friends and family to your trial day and taking photos of the trial hairstyles from many different angles. This way, you will know exactly what it looks like and what to expect from your wedding photos – the aim is to make every side your "best side". And you will have your friends or family to validate your opinions. It’s always great to have a second opinion.
Wearing a button-front shirt or halter neck is vital. Chances are that you will not be wearing your wedding dress while getting your hair done! It’s best to wear a button-front shirt or a halter neck to make sure that, when you take it off to get changed into your dress, you don’t ruin your hair when it has been painstakingly styled.
Your wedding day is going to be one of the best days of your life. And there’s no excuse to not be happy with your hair – if you plan it well enough in advance, and source a great stylist, you should be looking and feeling your best on your big day. What style are you going for? Let us know in the comments.
