4 Tips to Achieve Flawless Wedding Day Hair
Your wedding day is a whirlwind of beautiful moments, and you deserve to look and feel your absolute best. To ensure your hair is picture-perfect from the first look to the last dance, we’re sharing some essential tips and busting common myths. Following these simple guidelines will help you and your stylist create a flawless look that lasts.
Arrive with Dry Hair
One of the most important things you can do to prepare for your wedding hair appointment is to arrive with completely dry hair. Our stylists use professional hot tools to create your desired look, and these tools cannot be used on wet or even damp strands. Attempting to style wet hair with a curling iron or straightener can cause significant damage and won’t produce the polished, lasting finish you want. For the best results, please wash your hair the day of and ensure it’s fully dry before we begin.
Mythbuster: The “Dirty Hair” Debate
You may have heard the old saying that dirty hair holds a style better. This is one of the most common hair myths we encounter. In reality, the natural oils in unwashed hair will weigh your curls down, causing them to fall flat much faster. Fresh, clean hair provides the ideal canvas for building volume and creating curls that will hold their shape throughout the day. Save the “dirty hair, don’t care” vibe for your day-after brunch!
Say No to Dry Shampoo
While dry shampoo can be a lifesaver on other days, it’s not your friend on your wedding day. Dry shampoo products leave a powdery residue and a matte texture that can make your hair look dull and difficult to style. It can interfere with the shine and smoothness we aim to create. Trust your stylist to use professional products that will add texture and hold without compromising the beauty of your hair.
Beware of Humidity
The environment where you get ready plays a huge role in how your hair and makeup will hold up. A common mistake we see is steaming the wedding dress in the same room where hair and makeup are being done. The steam creates humidity, and humidity is the enemy of a perfect hairstyle. It can cause frizz, make curls droop, and even affect your makeup application. We recommend steaming your dress in a separate room, like a bathroom with the fan on, to keep your getting-ready suite a humidity-free zone.
By paying attention to small but impactful details like controlling the environment where you get ready, you can ensure that your hair, makeup, and overall look remain flawless throughout your special day. A little planning goes a long way in creating a stress-free and picture-perfect wedding morning. Remember, these moments set the tone for the rest of the day, so take steps to protect your efforts and enjoy the process to the fullest!
