Chances are, you’ve probably had an idea of what you want your hair to look like on your wedding day for some time now. You probably have a decent Pinterest board of various cuts and style that you’re considering incorporating somehow. Of course all of these styles will look amazing on you in the salon chair, but as soon as you need to test them out by dancing in a hot and humid environment, everything could very well fall apart. Your hair stylist should be able to take care of that for their wedding day (after all, that is what they do for a living), but we’ve got a few other things you might want to consider if you want to make their job as easy as possible.
1.) Don’t forget the hair protection factor. Sure everyone knows to put sunscreen on their skin, but what about their hair? Your hair and scalp is just as susceptible to UV damage as the rest of your body. Fortunately, it’s the 21st century, which means there are plenty of products on the market that can alleviate this issue. Just choose your favorite spray-on product or leave-in condition that comes with a little extra UV protection power.
2.) Understand how humidity works. You can’t make your hair immune to the effects of humidity, but with the right products a little humidity can actually help your style. Using smoothing conditions and serums will work with the moisture in the air to help seal the cuticle and tame fly-aways. This is definitely an occasion where you want as little product in your hair as possible; otherwise your style will end up looking limp and maybe even greasy.
3.) Have the right haircut. As we all know, a decent haircut can make a world of differences in the way a person looks and feels. So getting a quick trim before your wedding day is of course recommended to make sure your style looks as fresh as possible. However, doing something drastic like going from long hair to a pixie-cut might be something to save until after your big day. You might love it, but then again you might hate it, and now you’ll have hundreds of pictures reminding you of that haircut you despised. Work with a stylist and save the experimental cuts for the honeymoon or later.
4.) Choose the right accessories. There are so many accessories to choose from, it’s a wonder you can even narrow it down to one. Work with a stylist so choose a hairstyle and a perfectly complimenting hair accessory. Perhaps you want something soft and romantic, like long flowing locks with a sweet flower, or something elegant and sophisticated like a one-of-a-kind tiara atop an intricate updo. Either way, you should be able to choose something amazing to make your hair look the best it’s ever been for your wedding day.
