Hello and happy superbowl sunday to all brides!
While your man may be glued to the TV today, you can start planning your hairstyles ideas for your big day.
Here are my ULTIMATE tips for hairstyles:
1) Some things have to be thought of a few weeks in advance: if you need to dye your hair, do it at LEAST a week before your wedding, so that you can change it if it doesn't come out right. Case in point: I wanted very dark brown hair, like chocolate brown, and dyed it a week before my wedding. It turned out very dark, and I was glad I had the chance to wash it three times before my wedding day, so that it was a little bit lighter.
Also, think about the length and cut you wish to have. Nothing is off-limits. You can find extensions (real hair, make sure it matches yours perfectly and is well placed so no one can see the limit between your hair and the extensions, or you can cut it (I recommend doing it at least two weeks before, so you'll have time to correct imperfections).
2) Then you must choose what style you want. Start with basic decisions: do you want it down, half-up, or all up? A fun way to do this is to poll your friends (or everyone on your facebook). Of course, don't forget to ask the groom. And it sucks to say this, but think about your features and what will make you look best. For example, my ears are not my best feature, as they stick out a little. So I chose to have a low side-ponytail, with my hair mostly covering my ears.
3) To chose the exact way you want your hair styled, look at pictures on the internet or in magazines. This is also a fun time to involve girlfriends or sisters. Do you want your hair straight, curly, wavy?
4) Think about the style of your dress and the jewellery you plan on wearing. Having a strapless dress, a dress with small straps or a dress with sleeves or a big collar will surely play a role in the hairstyle you should choose. Ask for advice from trusted friends, especially if you have some fashion-savvy peeps in your entourage. Don't hesitate to ask your regular hairdresser.
5) Have fun with accessories! There are plenty of beautiful accessories you can use in your hair to glam up: glitters, pearls, ribbons, feathers, flowers, tiaras, the possitibilities are endless!!!
Here are some pictures of beautiful hairstyles... and next week I'll discuss makeup with you!
