Hair & Beauty Countdown
When planning your wedding it is important to start planning as soon as possible,
especially when it comes to hair and beauty. To look your beautiful best on
your big day, plan all your hair and beauty routines well in advance.
Gorgeous Hair
Getting your hair right for your wedding day is one of the most important
of all your beauty regime. There is so much to consider. Do you want a colour
on your hair? Do you want it cut? Do you want a dramatic new change? It is
wise to be cautious when considering your wedding day hair talk to your hairdresser/stylist
and listen to what they have to say, but also listen to your own heart after
all this is your day and you don't want to look back and regret it.
Six Months
Start by getting into the habit of washing your hair with the correct shampoo
and conditioner for your hair type. If you have long hair apply conditioner
to the ends. Do not apply conditioner to oily roots as this will only make it
limp. Visit your hairdresser for a general chat about your hair and what you
want to achieve. If you need to grow out a fringe or a perm, this gives you
plenty of time. This is also the time to experiment with new styles as long
as you don't have dramatic cuts remember you only have six months to go.
Tip
Make sure you have your hair trimmed regularly to guard against split ends and
avoid overusing heated appliances and styling aids.
If your hair is chemically treated, take especial care to wash it with with
appropriate shampoo and conditioner, in order to achieve and maintain your hair
in good condition.
Three Months
You should have ordered your dress by now, so you will know the shape and style.
Get together with your hairdresser for an in-depth consultation about your style
options. Don't feel you have to grow your hair and abandon all visits to the
salon, it simply won't work.
Concentrate instead on the looks you can create with your length of hair.
Tip
Colouring your hair. If you've never tried this before, use a colour-enhancing
wash-in/wash-out variety to see if it suits you first, as any drastic changes
of colour should be approached with caution.
Six Weeks
Have a practice session with your hairdresser so you can see if you like his
or her wedding hairstyle suggestions and whether they suit you and your dress
neckline. Make sure you take your headdress with you and don't forget to say
if you're wearing a veil and, if so, whether you plan to take it off at the
reception as this will affect the way your style is constructed and how it looks
from behind.
Two to Three Weeks
Have any colour treatments done now and if you are having a perm, give it time
to drop before the big day. Whatever your style, have a trim to sharpen up the
shape.
One Day
Wash your hair the night before your wedding - freshly washed hair is hard to
work with especially if you intend to put it up.
On the Day
Don't be afraid to use styling products - if you're having a very structured
or complicated hairstyle, its a good idea to get someone to carry a small can
of hairspray so you can keep your hair under control at the merest hint of wind.
Beautiful Body
Not many Brides are one hundred percent happy with the shape of their body,
so now's the time to throw yourself into doing something about it - with a goal
as important as looking completely gorgeous in your gown, you're bound to be
successful. Also if you bite your nails this is the time to stop. The last thing
you want is unsightly nails on your wedding day.
Six Months
Whether you want to loose a lot of weight, just a little or simply tone up,
you should take a look at your diet. Weight loss is only permanent when its
low and, to loose weight slowly you need to eat healthily. Crash diets simply
don't work when you most need energy. Exercise is the key to both weight loss
and firming up, so introduce a simple regime that you will stick to and enjoy.
Tip
Get into good body habits by using a body brush or scrub at least once a week
to slough away dead skin cells. Start at your feet and work up the body in small
circular motions, always moving towards your heart. To make sure your skin stay
extra smooth, after every bath or shower, smooth yourself with a good body moisturiser.
Wedding Day Hair Styles - A Top Ten Checklist
Mike Jones
The big day is fast approaching, and the energy of the moment sweeps you up. But does it carry your hair along too? Use the following checklist to ensure your wedding day hair is everything you dream it will be:
1. Which stylist? Make bookings for consultations with more than one stylist well in advance and decide on the one you feel most comfortable with. You should be able to express your likes and dislikes without feeling awkward.
2. Long hair, shoulder length, or short hair? It is important to consult with your stylist well in advance and make a decision. Long hair obviously gives the stylist much freedom for creativity but a skilled stylist can also work well with medium and short styles. Be sure to choose a length that fits with your personality and style.
3. Have your hair compliment your wedding dress. This can be done by both style and accessories. Smooth, straight hair and pinned up curls are often paired up with smooth satin gowns, whereas a tulle dress often goes well with soft curls.
4. Take into consideration your silhouette. If it's along horizontal lines such as with a wide dress, you'll want to stick with that look for your hair as well. The same goes for a vertical profile.
5. You'll be spending a lot of time at the salon picking out the perfect hairstyle, so it's best to be prepared. Be sure to wash your hair the night before your consultation, and try to have some pictures of styles you'd like to try out.
6. Take a picture of your wedding dress along to your stylist. This will greatly help the process along. Also take your veil with you, and let the stylist know what kind of wedding you are having: formal, informal, evening, daytime. Alternatively, consult with your stylist before deciding on your headpiece.
7. If you are interested in a new cut or color to your hair, don't wait until right before your wedding. Make the changes during the initial consultation with the stylist, so that you don't have any unpleasant surprises down the road.
8. After you have decided on your style, make sure you walk around with it. Your wedding day will be a long one and you certainly don't want an uncomfortable hair do causing irritation!
9. Your veil length will have some influence on your choice of hairstyle. Normally, the veil is longer than the hair. It is often secured in back swept hair (for up dos) and it's important to make sure the style can hold the veil in place.
10. What accessories are you going to wear? You will already (hopefully!) have your headpiece picked out. Flowers, pins, and beads can be used to add an extra sparkle to your hair, and you can and should coordinate them with the rest of your jewelry.
It may sound like choosing a bridal hair style is a strenuous activity, but the care and preparation is simply to make sure your wedding day is the best it can be.
Following this ten point checklist will ensure your wedding day hair style is a delight, not a disaster!
