Your wedding day is one of the most memorable moments of your life. You are the star of the celebration and deserve to feel and look your best. Here are some wedding hair care tips from our bridal hair experts so that you can wear your crowning glory in style, all day long!
6 Wedding Hair Care Tips for the Bride-to-Be
- Prep early: Keep your hair healthy, shiny, and manageable withregular trims and deep conditioning treatments. Thinking of trying a new cut or color? Try to do it 6 to 8 months in advance. This gives you plenty of time to adjust to (or change) the new look.
- Try different hairstyles for your wedding day: Start experimenting with hairstyles at least 3 to 5 months before the big day. If your dress is simple, add drama with braided updos, textured buns, or soft twists. For heavily embellished, ornate gowns, opt for sleek styles like soft waves, low buns, or classic chignons that enhance your look without competing with your dress for attention.
- Factor in your venue and weather: If you are planning an outdoor wedding, especially in humid or windy conditions, keep your hair secure and keep frizz at bay with styles like buns or braids.
For indoor weddings, you have more flexibility. Think looser waves, soft curls, or romantic half-up styles that will hold up beautifully without the worry of wind or moisture spoiling your hairdo.
- Schedule a hair trial: Let your hairstylist try out a few hairstyles for you to choose from. Pick out a style that complements your dress and your personality for the wedding at least 2 to 3 months in advance.
- A day prior to the wedding: Want your wedding hairstyle to hold all day (and night)? Skip washing your hair on the wedding day itself. Super-clean hair tends to be too slippery and flat. Instead, wash it the day before to give your strands the perfect grip and texture for styling magic. Trust us, your bobby pins and stylist will thank you!
- Wedding day hair care: Avoid washing your hair or adding any hair serums or other products to your hair on the day of the wedding, unless advised by your hairstylists. Keep all your hair accessories with you and set up a space for your hair care experts to set up shop. Ensure that they have enough room (and electrical sockets) for their hair care products and appliances. Give yourself and them ample time to style your hair and await the most exciting day of your life.
