Building Bridal Hair With Confidence And Style
1. Communicating Clearly With Your Stylists
By being honest about what you like and do not like, you will prevent yourself from being surprised on your wedding day.
2. Don’t Hold Yourself Back From Giving Feedback!
Think About Your Complete Wedding Look. A bride’s accessories, makeup, hair, and dress need to cooperate. Wearing a low-back dress? Think about an updo! Boho lace wedding gown? Think tousled waves.
3. Don’t Overdo It
In hair and beauty, less is often more. Always choose timeless over trendy, so you still love your photos in 20 years!

FAQs On Building Bridal Hair
1. When should I start planning my part of the building bridal hair and beauty plan?
We recommend starting your planning process ideally 9 to 12 months ahead of your wedding day. This time allows for research, trials, and treatments to be done without the worry of missing anything before your day arrives.
2. Do I wash my hair on my wedding day?
Not really! It really depends on your type of hair and the stylist’s advice. Generally, most hair stylists prefer (and recommend) that you wash your hair the day before your wedding, so they get a better “grip” on styling.
3. What if I don’t like the bridal hairstyle after the trial?
That is totally normal! Make sure to communicate this with your stylist, especially if it is your wedding and you change your mind! The sooner they know, the more adjustments can be made before your wedding day arrives!
4. What if I want my hairstyle to last all day?
Good quality styling products and setting everything with a good, strong, but flexible hairspray. Don’t forget to leave your emergency kit within easy reach.
5. Am I able to do my wedding makeup and hair myself?
Yes, but it is so strongly advised to leave it to a professional to avoid all the stress and sense of less polish on your own special, once-in-a-lifetime event! If you can, hire the professionals!
