Wedding Hairstyles

How you wear your hair can transform any outfit, and this is never more true than on your wedding day. With no rules for bridal do’s you have incredible scope, but in some ways this can make deciding on a style all the more overwhelming. When selecting a style you should start by considering the length and thickness of your hair. Hair like fine spun silk may be soft and luxurious, but it will not hold its shape as readily as thicker, wavy hair. That is not to say it won’t hold, but consider whether your hair will require additional preparation when choosing a style.

You should also take into account the overall aesthetic of your bridal look; is it conservative? Quirky? If so, would it benefit more from a contrasting hair style to dilute the look, or would a co-ordinated hair style work best? Other factors to consider are the neckline of your dress (if you have corsage detailing at the shoulder it would be a shame to obscure this), your veil (how elaborate and long is it?) and whether you want any additional decorative hairpieces.

Your stylist should be your best friend. Ask which styles will flatter your face most and then discuss the best way to care for and prepare your hair. Consider a series of rehydrating treatments, in addition to regular haircuts, to get your hair as glossy and healthy as possible. Avoid drastic changes in either colour or cut before the big day, and to ensure your hair is at its very best eat a diet rich in omega 3; it will maximise gloss and minimise breakage. It also is highly recommended that you make sure you have a trial style to see if your chosen do lives up to expectations; if you’re disappointed you’ll still have time to tweak it, or change it entirely.
