11 Tips for Beautiful Bridal Hair
by Melanie Mendelson ©2005 |
1. Be true to yourself
Don't choose a hairstyle that makes you feel not yourself. Brides often get
pressured into certain styles because of "tradition". If a particular style
makes you feel uneasy, don't choose it. It does not matter that your
mother, best friend or hairstylist like it - what really matters is YOU.
2. Develop a clear idea
Before going to the stylist, try to develop a good idea of what type of
hairstyle you would like.
Cut out the pictures of your favorite hairstyles from magazines and bring them
to the stylist. If you can't find any pictures, be prepared to describe exactly
what you want.
3. Do a practice run
Try out the hairstyle in advance, before your wedding day. Schedule the
"practice run" with your stylist. If the hairstyle that you envisioned does not
look as good on you as you had hoped, you'll be glad you found that out before
the big day!
4. Is it comfortable?
Walk around with this hairstyle for several hours to make sure it's comfortable.
The last thing you would want is to have hair pins hurting you and ruining your
fun.
5. Take pictures
At the "practice run", bring a Polaroid or digital camera to take instant
pictures. Ask the stylist to take pictures from the back and other angles. The
pictures will give you a better idea how the style would look to others (as
opposed to just looking in the mirror).
6. Does it hold up?
Make sure your hair style does not get completely messed up several hours later.
Try moving around and see if the hair stays put. You would not want a hair
disaster during the first dance!

7. Matching with your dress
Your hair style should go well with your wedding dress and headpiece. Classic
dresses go best with classic hairstyles. Non-traditional dresses might look odd
with the formal updos. Buy the dress before you select a hairstyle. Bring your
headpiece and the picture of your dress to the stylist, so the stylist can
evaluate whether it's a good match.
8. Watch out for chemicals
Don't have any coloring or chemical treatments done right before the wedding -
these can go wrong, and there won't be time to fix them! Do them several weeks
in advance.
9. Stay consistent
Don't make drastic changes. Your wedding day is not the time to color your hair
in a completely different color or cut off long locks. After all, you would
still want people to recognize you at your own wedding!
10. Beware of the height effect
Be aware that updos will make you look taller. Depending on your situation, it
might work for you or against you. If you are already taller than the groom or
are the same height, don't do an updo. If you are short, use the updo to your
advantage.
11. Keep it sensible
Don't make your hairstyle too flamboyant - it should not compete with your face
and your dress. You would want to avoid the situation where your hair is the
only thing that jumps out at people when they look at you.
