Wedding Day Hair

Your wedding day is supposed to be the best day of your life. So it follows you will want to look your most gorgeous ev-ver!

Wedding day hair and bad day hair should not be mentioned in the same breath. Your wedding day hair should be no less than perfect. That way, you can forget it, and enjoy your day to the full.

Here are a few tips to ensure your hairdo will put even Cheryl Cole in the shade.
It might sound barmy, but choose your hairstyle before selecting your veil, headress or tiara. That way, you will not have to battle with said head piece, in order to get your hair to play ball.

Buy an armful of wedding magazines and cut out hairstyles you like. When it comes to explaining a hairstyle to your stylist, a picture paints a thousand words.

Wedding magazines will give you oodles of fab ideas on the hair accessory front, too.
Ensure your hair stylist is happy to work his magic for your chosen look, and that it suits your face shape.

If your face is oval in shape, rejoice! You will suit any style. Square, heart shaped or round faces require a little more aforethought, so discuss the subject with your stylist.

Lots of would-be brides choose to have their hair swept up for their wedding day. Be warned, though: if you have a double chin, or low hairline at the nape of the neck, this style might not prove as perfect as you think.

If your hair is baby fine, the wedding of your dreams could turn into a living nightmare unless you render your up-do solid, with cans of hairspray! Ponder the possibility of a breezy wedding day. Ask yourself honestly, will my style go the distance? If you are travelling to your wedding in a carriage, or open top car, then consider the 'Bridget Jones' effect wind could wreak on your tresses.

Less formal weddings ' and especially beach ceremonies, lend themselves to free locks. You can look equally as glamorous as your up-do sisters; simply accent your hair with beautifully understated accessories, and prepare to shine.

Another important point is not to think of your current hair style as a starting block for your wedding style. Modern hairstyling techniques, such as extensions and hair pieces, can transform your tresses, A-lister style.

It might be an idea to ask a trusted friend to accompany you to your hair salon. Her honest opinion will speak volumes. What's more, it's all too easy to get carried away, and your pal will keep your tootsies on terra firma. Katie Price might be able to work the Big Hair look, but most of us can't.

Your wedding dress constitutes a key consideration when deciding upon your special day hair. Both must go together like a horse and carriage (not literally, obviously!).
Sophisticated gowns demand equally high maintenance hair, while vintage looks lend themselves better to pretty, loose locks or casually caught up styles, softened by tendrills and accented with flowers.

Finally, remember, your wedding day hair needs to be in its best condition. Treat it with love and attention in the months leading up to the wedding (think trims, treatments and eating healthily), and have it coloured and snipped two weeks before the big day.

That way, your hair will have a chance to grow into its style, for a more natural result.
