Wedding Planning – The Perfect Wedding Day Hair

So much planning goes into organizing your wedding day. The venue, the guest list, the caterers and, of course, your amazing wedding dress. Running pretty close to the importance of getting your dream dress sorted is figuring out how to get your dream hair too. From taking time considering your style and talking about your ideas, to seeing your stylist and the various tea tree oil uses for hair, here are four top tips for your perfect wedding hair.

1. Consider your style

One of the easiest ways to choose a hairstyle for your special day is to go with something you’ve seen in a glossy magazine. However, there’s more to consider than just what you like the look of. For one, you may have hair that just isn’t suited to a particular style. Also, think about the dress and accessories you’re going to wear, the wedding venue and the time of year that you’re getting married.

For example, floaty boho hair probably won’t work if you’re having a mountain wedding in winter. It will work well in a dreamy summer beach setting, though. The point is to take some time matching up your dream hair to the rest of the day, to make sure it works for you. Don’t stress too much though, there’s plenty of help at hand.

2. Float your ideas

Once you’ve got a few ideas, based around the above considerations, you can start running them by people. Talk to friends and family who are married to see what worked for them, and whether they feel your dream hair is doable.

Perhaps more importantly, talk to your stylist. They’ll be able to advise you on what type of style is best suited to your hair, take you through different options, and help put a plan in place.

3. Get a stylist early on

The last thing you want is a panic trip to the salon the week before your wedding, so get one booked in early on. Shop around for a stylist as soon as you’ve got some initial ideas, take those ideas to your appointments, and together you can decide on a style that’s suitable. And one that you really love!

In addition to deciding your look and plan with them, you should also book in a trial run in the lead up to your wedding. That way you can perfect it before the big day.

4. Look after your hair

Above everything else, don’t neglect your hair with all the wedding planning going on. You’ve taken the time to match up your dream hair to your dream dress, considered all the practicalities, and chosen a stylist you trust. All that’s left for you is to keep your locks in great shape. That means following a regular routine and avoiding certain things. The following tips will help you keep your hair glowing, just like you will be:

• Avoid stripping your hair of natural oils with over-washing. Three times a week or every other day is a good rule of thumb.

• Lay off the excessive heat from stylers and dryers, as this can stress you hair.

• Treat your locks every week. An essential oil treatment can do wonders. For example, using tea tree oil for hair can help with a dry scalp and boost the health of your hair.

• Visit your stylist not only for style and care tips, but for regular trims to clip off any frayed or split ends too. It’s a great chance for you to talk through big day prep as well.

Put these tips into action and you’ll be on your way to your perfect wedding hair!
