Thinking of wearing your hair down on your wedding day? Here are a few things to consider before committing to those soft, glam waves… 👰🏼♀️✨
💦 **You’re a sweater** Hair around your neck and face can leave you feeling hot and uncomfortable. Consider a half-up style, soft upstyle, or wear your hair down for the ceremony and change into an upstyle for your reception to dance as free as you like.
✨ **You’re wearing a high-neck or heavily detailed dress** Beads, sequins and intricate details can catch and tangle in your hair. Wearing your hair up or away from the neckline can prevent this while also showing off your beautiful dress.
🙋🏼♀️ **You constantly play with your hair** The more you touch your curls, the more they can separate, frizz and drop. Especially when wedding day nerves kick in! A half-up or upstyle can help, or you may want to consider booking reception touch-ups.
👱🏼♀️ **You have fine hair that drops quickly** Fine hair can struggle to hold curls all day. Adding structure, pinning sections up or using extensions can help give your hair more longevity and keep your style looking fuller for longer.
☀️ **It’s going to be HOT** If it’s 40+ degrees, those dreamy waves may struggle to survive the heat, photos, hugs and dance floor! A weather-proof upstyle, ponytail or half-up style could be the perfect compromise or book in those touch-ups.
Your wedding hairstyle should work WITH your hair, dress, personality and wedding day conditions, not against them! A good bridal hairstylist will help you choose a style that looks just as beautiful at the end of the night as it did walking down the aisle. 🤍
SAVE this for your bridal hair planning and send it to a bride deciding between hair up or down! ✨
