Tips and Tricks to Lock in Your Bridal Hair's Lasting Power

Ask the experts

The best way of ensuring you make the most of your bridal hair-do is to ask your hair dresser or stylist for their tips on maintenance. Ask about how you should be caring for your hair in the lead up, recommendations for products to use on the day, and which maintenance tools you should bring along to the celebrations. As experts in the field, they will have all the tips and tricks you need to keep your grúaige in place all day and night long.

Pre-wedding Hair Care

In the months and weeks leading up to your big day, ensure you’re treating your locks with luxury. Regular trims, nutrient-full hair masks and reduced heat treatment will all ensure your hair is in its best condition when the wedding comes along. If your hair gets oily quickly and you are worried about it diminishing as the day goes on, leave bigger gaps between washes in the weeks and days leading up to your day as this helps in slowing down how quickly your hair gets greasy

The night before

Use conditioner and softening hair masks sparingly the day before your wedding, as these kinds of products can make it harder to hold styled hair and curls. Follow your hair stylist’s instructions for pre-wedding hair care carefully on this day and avoid trying out any new products in case you experience any allergic reactions.

Hairspray all day

As expected, hairspray is the best tool at your disposal to ensure your hair style is firmly locked in place. In addition, other holding products such as hair mousse will help as well in maintaining your hair’s lasting capabilities. Ensure you explain to your stylist any particular concerns you have regarding the lasting power of your hair type, such as its volume or length, and get their advice on how best to keep it in place.

Emergency maintenance kit

It’s always best to have a hair-care essentials kit on hand to handle any mishaps that arise during the day. Pack a mini bag with hair pins, clips, bobbles and mini cans of hairspray which you and your lead ladies can make use of during the day if needs be. If you are using any pretty jewelled hair pieces and clips, look into potentially have some spares on hand in case anything goes missing during the day.

Dressing the Bridesmaids SAME OR DIFFERENT

May 17, 2024

Traditionally, bridesmaids have worn the same dress to create a cohesive and uniform look. This practice dates back to ancient times when bridesmaids were tasked with protecting the bride from evil spirits or potential suitors. By dressing identically, it was believed that the bridesmaids could confuse any ill-intentioned individuals and ensure the bride’s safety. Over time, this tradition evolved into a way to symbolise the unity and support of the bridal party. By wearing the same dress, bridesmaids visually demonstrate their commitment to the bride and her special day. It also helps to create a sense of harmony and balance in the overall wedding aesthetic. However, in recent years, there has been a shift towards more individuality and personal expression in weddings. Many brides are now opting for a more modern approach, allowing their bridesmaids to wear different dresses that suit their individual styles and body types. This change reflects a desire to celebrate the unique personalities and preferences of each bridesmaid, while still maintaining a cohesive look.
