6 Steps in Planning the Perfect Wedding Hairstyle
In China, the hairstyle of a married woman is tied up in a bun.
Such a style is done in most Chinese brides in rituals: a woman,
who has had a successful family life, is asked to help in
dressing up the bride's hair. While setting the bride's hair up,
the good luck woman speaks of good fortune for the bride and her
impending married life.
In the US, preparing the bride's hairstyle is also becoming a
ritual, as it plays an important part in her general look. Much
preparation has to go into the bride's dress, and so should her
crowning glory, the hair. Follow this simple guide on how to
plan for the perfect wedding hairstyle.
Weeks before your wedding day choose a hairdresser that will
make your do at the wedding. Find a hairdresser that is
recommended by someone you know and trust; someone that they had
a good experience with.
1. Establish a good rapport with the hairdresser. You should be
comfortable in discussing with him or her on the style and look
you want. Some hairdressers insist on some do that they dreamed
would be made for them. Be firm in telling him or her what you
want and don't want.
2. Discuss in length the shape of your face in relation to the
hairstyle that he or she proposes. Try the following styles:
-Tired of the bun? Achieve the same polished look with braids
instead. From cornrows to French twists, there are numerous
interesting ways to set your hair in place.
-Letting your hair down, especially of the mid-length can
emanate romance. Flip the edges out for a little retro look.
-Short hair can be spruced up with color highlights or shiny
curls.
3. Ask to schedule a practice session to mock-up the intended
hair do for your wedding day. You may need to pay extra for this
mock-up session, but it's worth the buck to ensure you look
lovely during your wedding.
4. Part of the mock-up is for you to carry the hairstyle. Check
side and rear views for how the hairstyle looks and make sure it
is made to your liking. You are the center of attention on the
wedding day, so you should be beautiful 360 degrees!
5. Walk around the salon with your hairstyle. Try to bob your
head abet or do other head movements that you think will happen
on wedding day. Make sure your hairstyle withstands all the head
activity and that you and your scalp will be comfortable for
hours.
6. Now, traditionally, they say it is bad luck to try on your
wedding dress before the wedding day. But you need to be sure
that your hairstyle matches the gown. Don't worry; you can still
approximate the look by using other dresses. Look for a dress
that has the same collar style as your wedding dress. Then put
on something that approximates the same lines of your wedding
gown. View yourself on the mirror, and imagine yourself in
white, does the hairstyle match?

wedding day hairstyle and achieve the perfect wedding day look!
