How do I prepare my hair for the big day? |
A woman's hair is her crown;
therefore choosing the perfect bridal hairstyle will either complement or destroy your whole image. Start by using
the correct hair treatment that will suit your hair type. Your
local hair salon will come in handy in analyzing your hair for
you to make the right choice in hair care products and treatments.
If you have long hair, do not brush hair from root to tip, this
could cause breakage and split-ends. Rather brush tangled hair
from the mid-bottom down wards to help untangle hair. Repeat brushing
in sections starting every time just a bit higher as the previous
time. With this your hair will look much healthier and will prevent
split-ends.
How do I choose my bridal hairstyle color? |
Your wedding hair color should
not just complement the color of your bridal gown, but also your
eyes and skin tone. Avoid extreme hair color just before your
wedding day, if you want to make a total turn around, say from
blonde to black, rather experiment 6 months before the time. This
is enough time to ease into a color for your wedding day or if
you do not like it, to undo any mistakes. A professional hairstylist
should be able to guide you into the right decisions in choosing
your hair color according to your personality and skin tone. A
person with a warm complexion tend to look better with copper,
red, burgundy, warm brown's and shades of warm blonde. Where a
person with a blue or pink undertone will look better in cool
shades. Did you know that blue eyes is brought out with shades
of red? Highlights will also play a role in the definition of bridal updos hairstyles especially if the hair
is platted or weaved.
How do I choose my bridal hairstyle? |
Firstly you will have to
determine the shape of your face. Is it oval, round, square, heart
shaped, diamond shaped or do you have a big forehead or deep-set
eyes? Do you have a large nose - you would ask, so what has my
nose to do with my hair except for the smell of the shampoo? Well,
if you have an off-center fringe it will take away the emphasis
of a large nose or even deep-set eyes. You have to be comfortable
with your bridal hairstyle, if you are easily irritated with hair
in your face, rather consider a bridal updo hairstyle. But if
you have prominent ears - you might like to cover it with soft
curls and a featherlike bridal hairstyle will soften a square
jaw line. As with your color, start to experiment well ahead of
your wedding day with a bridal hair style to avoid disappointment.
Choose a hairstylist that will listen and act on your specifications
and needs.
Choosing accessories for
your bridal updo hairstyle or if you have medium to short hair
depends upon your personality and detail of your bridal gown.
If you are a shy yet formal type of woman, you would like a stylish
tiara, not to bold but maybe a bit more formal. A woman with more
of an outgoing personality would tend to go for a more romantic
and flowing look, with lots of loose curls and a funky tiara,
top hat, flowers or even bold pearls or crystals. The style of
the wedding gown must also be considered for a very detailed dress
should not have a busy hairstyle. To wear a veil is more of a
personal choice than a matter of tradition. There are a number
of options, from a short veil that hangs loose over your head
to a long or short veil that clips in at the back of your updo
hairstyle. Try a number of options before you decide on witch
will complement your bridal couture the best.
How do I schedule all my appointments? |
Start with the season in
witch your wedding day falls. If it is summer or spring, keep
in mind that this is the most popular time of the year and that
you are not the only bride that wants to get married. Start scheduling
your appointment for your wedding day and keep in mind that if
you have and updo hair style, you will require more time for styling,
make-up and getting you to the church on time. Work backwards
in planning a test for your bridal hairstyle and color treatments
if you do need it. Take time in getting acquainted with your stylist,
you have to be able to trust your wedding stylist so that you
know that your bridal hairstyle will be picture perfect. |
