How do you get the wedding hair style you want?
If you have a particular type of wedding hair style in mind then
try it out before the wedding day. Make an appointment with the
hair salon where you're interested in having your hair done. The
first appointment should be well in advance of your wedding. Some
experts go as far as suggesting that you should start seeing the
wedding hair style specialist at your chosen salon about six months
before your wedding. If you don't have this much time don't worry
simply start now to give yourself a chance to try different wedding
hair dos.
Your first few visits to the salon should be for consultation purposes. Bring your veil and be sure to describe the formality of your wedding. This information along with any pictures of a hair style you'd like to try will be quite helpful. According to the information you supply, the hair stylist may also have a few suggestions that you may like.
While you're visiting the hair salon you may also want to do a couple full test runs where you let them do, not only your wedding hair style, but also your make up. By adding your makeup you can get a look at the full effect you'll get when you have hair style, makeup and veil together. This kind of trial also allows you to get some idea of whether there are any changes you would like to have made to create the perfect effect.
Taking pictures each time you do a test can help to ensure that there will be no confusion between you and the hair style professional on the wedding day. Pictures are worth a thousand debates and can help in the recreation of your special look.
Wedding hair style and bridal hair dos tips
There are a number of other things you should remember as you prepare
your hair to be styled
-
Follow your hairstylist's instructions about preparing your hair for the style. If the hairstylist asks you to show up at the salon with unwashed hair then don't wash your hair. Washing hair can make it difficult to work with and clean hair won't hold some hairstyles as well as "dirty" hair. If you do feel compelled to have clean hair then do your washing a day or two before the day your wedding hair style will be created.
-
Treat your hair well. Keep it in its best shape by deep conditioning regularly. You don't have to have expensive treatments at a salon for this, there are a number of cheap treatments sold at beauty product stores. Try a conditioner such as Pantene Pro-V, or one from the Salon Selectives line. If you have one that you have used before with a great outcome then stick with it.
-
Don't try new hair colors or chemical treatments just before the wedding. These types of hair treatments can create too many unpleasant surprises. If it is necessary to do any of these things to your hair it is best to have them done 2-4 weeks before your wedding. It's best to consult with your hairstylist before you decide to do these treatments.
-
Your hair style doesn't have to be drab it can still express your sense of style. Add unique touches using decorative hair pieces or flowers, or ribbons that match the fabric of your wedding dress. The only limitation to your whimsical fantasies may be the time of your wedding and its formality. Weddings earlier in the day may have a looser more romanticized look while those in the evening are usually more formal and call for smoother looks.
-
Although it may be convenient to get your hair and makeup done at home it can limit your stylist’s work. At the salon a stylist and makeup artist have access to a wider array of equipment and assistants if they become necessary.
Planning is just as important in creating the perfect wedding hair
style as it is in accomplishing all the other goals for your wedding
day. While choosing wedding hair dos that work for you can seem
an arduous task, if you work with your hair style professional,
achieving your fantasy hair style can actually be fun.
