Will My Hair Last All Night?

We’ve all been there. Curling every piece, layering every product we have on our hair just to have it fall down an hour after and potentially more that night. How do you avoid something like that on your wedding day? First things first, having a stylists who truly understands different hair types and how products work is going to make all the difference in the world, but there are also ways you can help. Things like staying away from those wax filled shampoos and conditioners, switching to lightweight oils, and putting the flat iron down two months prior to getting married-all of these will only make your hair stronger and more prepped for styling the day of. If you plan on wearing your hair down, using the right type of products 3-6 months before your wedding can dramatically change how well your holds up.

Getting a new cut that involves increased layering can not only make your down style appear longer, but take out unwanted weight. Wearing your hair up is a whole other ball game that really comes down to the type of pin and its placement as well as the structure at the core of the style. If it feels unbalanced and loose on your head, then it probably won’t be there dancing with you later that night, at the same time, while you want something that feels secure, you still want to make sure it isn’t giving you the face lift you never wanted so don’t be afraid to speak up if something pulls too much.

A good thing to keep in mind is how much mobility you want on your wedding. Some styles are soft and delicate, it’s important to know with those styles comes responsibility. Just like you would protect your dress from stains or someone stepping on it, you’ll want to be aware of any movements that could move those pieces out of place despite the perfectly positioned bobby pins and products. The biggest question to answer is, just how hard are you going to dance?!
