Nobody likes bad hair. And one day you really can’t afford a bad hair
day is on your wedding day. So how can you ensure your hair is just as
perfect and beautiful as you want your wedding day to be? With these
tips, of course! Keep these 10 bridal hair dos and don’ts in mind for
wedding hair day perfection.
1. DO always book a trial appointment
Whether you’ve known your hairstylist for years or are booking with
someone who came highly recommended, you should absolutely book a
wedding hair trial. This is especially important if you’re trying out a
new bridal hairstyle since something may look great in a magazine, but
might look different on you! “You may need more than one trial and that
is totally normal,”says Vanessa Fernandez, Butterfly Studio Salon
Expert Stylist. Most stylists will offer a wedding hair trial discount
if you book both a trial run and day-of hairstyle. And if you’re having a
destination wedding, consider flying in a few months or days before the
wedding so you can be absolutely sure this is the hairstylist for you.

2. DO be honest with your stylist
Your hairstylist wants to give you exactly what you want, so by all
means, please speak up! It’s the best way to make sure you are 100%
happy with your wedding day hairstyle, so be as open and clear as
possible in your communication as possible.
3. DON’T try something that’s just not you
It can be tempting to try a hairstyle that’s totally fresh and
different, but don’t go for something that’s just not “you”. “Don’t
choose something completely out of character. Brides usually regret
doing anything of that sort,”Fernandez says. Your wedding day is a day
to shine and look like your best self, not someone entirely different
that your hubby won’t recognize.
4. DO get the dress first
If you haven’t said yes to the dress, don’t settle on a hairstyle
just yet! “I always suggest having the dress picked out before the hair
trial,”Fernandez says. “Having the dress is a huge help on deciding
whether to wear hair up or down and what kind of style would complement
the dress.”
5. DON’T go drastic
Weeks before your wedding is not the time to schedule a drastic
haircut or hair color change. Instead, make sure you’ve scheduled any
needed hair maintenance at least a few weeks before the big day.
6. DO schedule your dress fitting the same day as your hair trial
There’s no better way to get an idea of the whole look than
scheduling your hair and makeup trial the same day as a dress fitting!
You’ll be able to see exactly how it all works together before your
actual wedding day and make sure your hairstyle matches your wedding dress. Don’t forget to take plenty of pictures!
7. DO get a hair treatment
For shiny hair that’s in tip top shape, don’t forget to schedule a
hair treatment a week before your wedding day. An in-salon deep
conditioning treatment will help make sure your locks are in beautiful
condition for your wedding day.
8. DON’T forget about hair accessories!
Even if you’re going with a classic bridal hairstyle, a beautiful
bridal hair accessory is a gorgeous way to add a little pizazz to your
look. Pins, headbands and floral hairpieces can bring that bit of bling
to your wedding day. (Need some inspiration? Check out these bridal hair accessories you’ll love.)
9. DO take photos with you
Telling isn’t the same as showing, so bring as many photos as you can
to your hair appointment! This will really help your hairstylist know
exactly what you’re looking for, and he or she will be able to recommend
ways it may or may not work for you and how to make the hairstyle even
better. Magazine tearouts or your bridal hair board on Pinterest are great sources of inspiration!
10. DON’T overthink it
Sometimes, less is more. A simple, sophisticated hairstyle can look
effortlessly elegant. And a glammed up version of your everyday
hairstyle (maybe with a gorgeous hair accessory), can be quite
beautiful. “I always recommend styles that won’t look dated as you look
back on your pictures in the future. Classic looks are always a smart
idea for creating an everlasting photo,”Fernandez says.
