Top 5 wedding hair tips for Brides-to-be
Your wedding hair is so much more than just a hair style, its how your feel.
To help everything run smoothly here are my top 5 tips for ensure your hair is wedding prep ready for your wedding morning.
1. Wash your hair the day before your wedding.
One of the biggest misconceptions is "dirty hair holds better' In reality freshly washed hair the day before your wedding is the best base for hair styling. Make sure when you wash your hair you do x2 shampoos followed by a light weight conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends.
The first shampoo picks up the heavy oils from your hair and scalp, the second shampoo cleanses the area making it shiny and clean. Conditioner only needs to go onto the mid-lengths and ends to close the cuticle. Avoiding greasy limp hair make sure you wash the conditioner out throughly.
- minimal styling products (leave this to me)
- no heavy oils or masks
- light conditioner
2. Think about the whole look not just the hair style.
Your hairstyle should complement everything else - your dress neckline, veil, earrings, makeup and overall wedding attire.
During your trial we will look at your entire bridal vision to create the bespoke hairstyle you like. Something that feels you, balanced authentically you.
Where the colour and similar neckline to your trial so we can visualise your style.
3. Allow plenty of time the morning of your wedding.
You want to feel relaxed and have a moment of calm before your big day. A relaxed wedding morning can make all the difference.
Rushing can cause unnecessary stress, so I always build timings carefully to allow enough time for
- Each hair style
- veil placement
- finals adjustments
- those special candid moments with your bridal party.
I allow 1 hour buffer time to ensure you can relax enjoy a glass of something sparkling and have those all important moments with your loved ones.
A calm morning helps everyone enjoy the experience far more.
4. Trust the process and find a style that FEELS like you.
Trends come and go, but the most beautiful hairstyles are the ones that feel like you.
It can get overwhelming with social media, Pinterest, but your wedding hair should enhance your natural features and personal style, not completely change them.
The main aim is for you to feel confident, comfortable, a more glowing, uplifted version of you. Stay true to who you are.
5. Weather! Cornwall and Devon.
Southwest weather is very unpredictable at times. Coastal Gail force winds to hot a summers day! Make sure that you are preparing your hair for unpredictable weather changes. Photographers especially like to make sure those beautiful candid shots are not full of hair on your face stuck to your lipgloss from a gust of wind. We have all been there! Rest assured we can tweak and change things on the day to ensure your hair is secure without a strand out of place.
