Tips for Beautiful Bridal Hair
1. Six months before the wedding, have a major consultation with your stylist of choice. Bring along the headpiece (or a picture if you do not have it in-hand yet) and the picture of the dress if possible. The more the stylist knows about the mood of the wedding, the better he or she can create the perfect hairstyle.
2. Do not skip the trial hair style, think of it as a "dress rehearsal" for your hair. There should actually be a "test run" before the wedding day. .
3. During the "test run," walk around with the hairstyle you plan to wear to determine its comfort level and the longevity of your style.
4. Consider the time of day and type of wedding when choosing a style. Lose romantic styles are great for an outdoor or more casual wedding. For a more elegant wedding, consider a more sleek style that is a bit more polished looking.
5. Bring inspiration pictures with you for your trial run. It will save time with your stylist if you have an idea of what you want going into the practice appointment.
6. Do not have any chemical treatments the day of the wedding. That is not the time for surprises.
7. Hair color looks its best the first two weeks, so have your hair colored a week to two weeks before the wedding. But some colors take a few days to look picture perfect, so don't try anything drastic a couple of days before the ceremony.
8. Hair that is too fine or over-conditioned does not style well, so deep conditioning treatments should not be used within four days of the wedding. For best styling results, shampoo hair lightly the day before the wedding and, if possible, do not wash hair the day of the wedding.
