Guide for Wedding Hairdos
A bride’s worst nightmare is rain on her wedding day, but a close second is any weather that may ruin the perfect wedding hairdo. Temperature and humidity can wreak havoc on hair; it is advisable that every bride know these tips to battle the sun, wind, and rain on her special day.
Rain, Rain, Go Away
Damp and humid weather can cause frizzy, unkempt-looking hair. To combat this situation, use anti-frizz cream or serum and prep with shampoo and conditioner to keep your mane tamed. Follow this regiment for a week, washing every other day before the big “I Do.” This should get your hair fit for styling on the wedding day. Remember to run frizz-fighting aids through your strands when they are wet to allow for maximum absorbency. On the wedding day, you will want to go with your natural hair and make it work for you. Try a girlish half-do, with the crown pinned back. You may want to use a blow dryer or flat iron, but avoid the heat if you can.
Desert Hair Care
If you live in a climate that is hot and dry, you should be prepared to deal with dull strands and split ends. Dry air causes a lot of breakage, so combat that with regular deep conditioning and keeping your locks trimmed. Try letting your hair dry naturally during the week before you walk down the aisle, letting your mane retain as much moisture as possible. On the wedding day you may want to try a shine serum or spray, to help keep moisture in and combat a dull sheen. You can try to get your straight hair curly or your curly hair straight, but be sure to protect your hair with heat-fighting products before you put it to the iron.
Arctic Tresses
In the cold, dry wind you want to keep your locks protected from the wind chill factor. The crunch of static and dry hair can be beaten with regular shampoo and conditioner using moisturizing ingredients. Limit heating to blow drying only and use moisturizing product on your ends to keep them from fraying and attracting electricity. You want to be the only electric buzz on the scene when you walk down the aisle. Opt for pomade or styling cream when you finish your wedding day hairdo.
When styling your hair for the big day, you should keep in mind that too much product can weigh your hair down and make it look limp and unhealthy. Try to prepare your hair by keeping it healthy and nourished during the week before your wedding. Ultimately, your day will be great if you feel great, so go with what you like and condition, trim and medicate your locks later to make up for it.
