Haircare I Dos And Don'ts
|
We've all had them -- hair catastrophes. A bad cut. A disastrous color. And our reactions are always the same. We cry. We panic. We commiserate with our girlfriends at midnight. We buy bad hair day hats until the whole mess grows out. But your beauty timeline clock is ticking and there is no room for impulsive moves. Check out our list of dos and don'ts to get your hair into shape without risking a wedding day follicle fiasco.

 Decide on a hairstyle before
you choose your veil or
headpiece.
Play with a few styles before
finalizing your look.
Visit your hairstylist at least six
months before the wedding to
set up a hair care regimen.
Touch up your existing hair
color two weeks before the
wedding.
Prepare a hair emergency kit for
reception touch ups.
Think about whether your
hairstyle will hold up at an
outdoor wedding.
Match your hairstyle to your
gown in degree of formality.
Consider extensions and
hairpieces to add volume for
special hairstyles.
Plan special hairstyles for the
bridal shower and rehearsal
dinner.
Get a final trim two weeks
before the wedding.
Wear a buttoned-down shirt to
your wedding day hair session.
Talk to your hairstylist to set a
shampooing and conditioning
schedule for the days before
the wedding.
Add a bit of glitter to your hair
-- just be sure to try it out
in advance.
Invest in a good haircut. You'll
need less styling if you have a
good foundation.
Decide if you will remove your
veil after the ceremony. You'll
need to adjust your hairstyle
accordingly.
Have your hairdresser practice
with your veil tiara.

Make hairstyle changes within
three months of the wedding.
Dye your hair at home.
Change your hair color within
two months of the wedding.
Let anyone talk you into the
latest style unless you really
love it.
Choose a style that's too
structured -- it will be
impossible to maintain.
Go overboard on tendrils. If the
curls droop, you'll be left with
messy hair.
Choose a large or overly ornate
headpiece. You're the star;
not your tiara.
Use unfamiliar hair products on
the big day -- you could be
allergic to them.
Wash your hair right before
styling it -- it may be too
slippery to handle.
Have your hair styled too early
before the ceremony -- it's a
long day.
Use accessories that are too
heavy for an updo.
Overload your hair with
product. |
