Ten
Tips For Great Bridal Hair
|
L'Image owner Dayton Mast has
been helping brides look beautiful for 20 years. Following are
his top ten tips for perfect "I do" hairdos.
1. Six
months before the wedding, have a major consultation with your
stylist of choice. Bring along the headpiece 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 use the portrait session as the "dress
rehearsal". There should actually be a "test run"
for the portrait.
3. During
the "test run," walk around with the hairstyle you
plan to wear to determine its comfort level. A good rule is: the
simpler, the better, since pins can hurt, and intricate styles
are often delicate.
4. Consider
the time of day and type of wedding when choosing a style. Loose
styles are appropriate for informal or daytime weddings, while
updos portray a formal, evening look.
5. Remember
that some hairstyles can add inches to a bride's height, and
shorter brides may want to use this to their advantage.
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 the hair
colored a week or two weeks before the
wedding.
8. If
a permanent wave is necessary, have it done a month prior to the
wedding.
9.
Hair that is to fine and 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.
10.
Stylists and makeup artists do their best work in their own
environments with their own tools, so have your wedding party
meet at the salon a couple of hours before they need to be at
the ceremony for pictures. This increases efficiency, (and
usually costs less!)
