Wedding Breeze

After a long three months or more, I finally had my hair trimmed a few days ago. I needed to have long hair for my photo shoots and thus had to let it grow. As my hair is extremely thick, it gets very warm and hot for me. I couldn?t layer it too much, if not when they bun up my hair, it will be very difficult for my hair to stay in place.

Decide well beforehand on the hairstyle that you will be having on your wedding day and make sure that you use your regular hairdresser or choose someone that you can trust and book them well in advance to make sure they are available on the day. Most bridal studios would have arranged for you a makeup artiste who is also a hair stylist. The trial hairstyle will probably be used for your photo shoot. This is the best time to find a hairstyle that suits you.

Try out your hairstyle in the weeks preceding your wedding so you can see that you are satisfied with the final results and make any changes sooner rather than later to ensure that you will get the right look on the day.

Let your hairstylist know what your wedding dress will look like and also the flower arrangements that you will be having as this can influence the style of hair that will look most appropriate. You will also need to decide whether to dye or highlight your hair before the wedding, since different colours may clash with your wedding gown.

Your hairdresser might even need some flowers to add to your hair so make sure that they are delivered early enough on the day to be included in your hair preparation. If this is the case, the flowers should be fresh and be able to last.

When choosing a hairstyle, you should know your face shape and what type of hairstyles will look good on you. If you have an oval face, almost all types of hair styles will suit you. If you have a heart-shaped face like me, you need to cover part of your forehead with some fringe so that it will look more balanced. Read bridal magazines to get an idea of some suitable hairstyles. Your makeup artiste should be professional and skilful enough to know what works and what does not work. Do not insist on a hairstyle that looked great on a model, because it may not be suitable for you. Do manage your expectations.
