Nobody wants to
look back on the photos of their big day and cringe. So to help
you avoid a bridal hair mishap, THS has put together
the six most common mistakes that brides can make.
#1 - Choosing a hairstyle
because it's in fashion or on a celebrity
The #1 mistake a bride
can make is not choosing a style that represents her. Just because red
carpet events and catwalks are brimming with braided styles and ponytail
quiff's doesn't mean that you need to copy the styles, especially if it's
a style that you wouldn't normally wear.
#2 - Wearing
a hairstyle someone else wants you to wear
Just like choosing
a hairstyle based on fashion, wearing a hairstyle because your mother/grandmother/hairdresser
thinks it'll look fabulous is not the way to go. You should feel as comfortable
as possible on your wedding day and you can't do that by wearing a hairstyle
that someone else wants you to wear instead of the one you really want.
#3 - Wearing a hairstyle
that your hair simply can't support
Yes, a cascade
of curls will look breathtaking with your long flowing dress, but if you're
hair is poker straight and simply won't hold a curl, you'll be wasting
your time. Instead, discuss with your hairstylist the best kind of hairstyles
to match your hair and your dress.
#4 - Over accessorizing
The purpose of a hair accessory is to add to your hairstyle and there
is no better way to glam up a style then by adding something that sparkles.
But too much can be too much. If you're wearing a simple gown and jewelry,
using a hair accessory will really add a glamorous touch, but if your
dress is on the detailed side, try to keep any hair accessories simple
and low-key.
#5 – Not considering
all the factors
Other factors to
think about when deciding on your wedding hairstyle include whether the
ceremony and reception are in the daytime or in the evening, and if any
part of the wedding requires you to be outside in the elements (wind,
rain, etc) for a long period of time. The most important factor is also
how long your hairstyle needs to last.
#6 - Adding your
own highlights
If you want to color you own hair, that's fine, but adding highlights
is strictly a job for professionals. "At home bleaching can cause
a multitude of problems," color expert Paola Fioramonte advises.
"So much can go wrong, such as a bad reaction to the chemicals, which
will cause the hair to break, and not separating the highlighted strands
from the hair around it can cause the bleach to bleed onto the other strands,
which will leave you with a messy look."
Your big day is
a big event, but the most important thing to remember is that it should
also be about fun, happiness and celebration!
