10 Cinderella Hair Care & Style Tips for your Night at the Ball
Tip#1: TRIM, TRIM, TRIM! Many brides think that they should start worrying about the length of their hair a year before the wedding and they stop trimming it in hopes that it will grow long enough for a decent hairstyle. Continue to trim every 2 months, this will promote hair growth and split ends and keep the “frizzies” and “fly aways” at bay.
Tip#2: TREAT ME RIGHT! Start using a shampoo/conditioning line that has a Ceramide Infusion system that penetrates the hair shaft, helps to replace lost lipids and moisture, rebuilding damaged hair/chemical/color treated hair. This will ensure those glamorous locks you have always imagined.
Tip#3: COLOR! If you are planning on coloring your hair, you should not make any major hair color changes before your wedding. Girl, DO NOT try out a new color now. Wait until you are back from your honeymoon. What you can do is slightly brighten your shade to help give you that wedding glow. Add more chocolate to brown hair, more gold to blond hair, and more copper to red hair. Book your color appointment two weeks before your wedding. The last two weeks before the wedding will fly by. You will be happy your color is done and off your check list. If you highlight your hair, be sure to have a full head of highlights for your wedding. This way there will be no two toned surprises, no matter how you style your hair or how the wind blows.
Tip#4: KERATIN?! Go for it but with a little caution! Opt for a formaldehyde-free formula. Most widely know is the HYPERLINK "http://www.brazilianblowout.com" Brazilian Blowout. These treatments actually work, and allow you to wash your hair immediately after the process while still obtaining the desired results. Compared to the formaldehyde counterparts, these are a lot safer for your health! This treatment only lasts about 10-12 weeks. Plan accordingly for your big day! Whether it is formaldehyde-free or not, all of these products still contain some chemicals just like soaps, shampoos, nail polish, detergents, cleaning agents, hair dye and other products so always read the labels and take precautions.
Tip#5: CLIP IT ON! Clip in extensions are the way to go for adding volume/length is a SNAP! Clip-in extensions are instant and can be attached easily eliminating the need to spend hundreds of dollars at a HYPERLINK "http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4564324_clipin-hair-extensions-work.html" \t "_blank" hair salon. They can be removed at any time, and cause the least amount of damage to your hair. They can be straightened, curled and styled as easily as natural hair. The biggest con to clip-ins, however, is that the small micro-clips can be visible if your hair shifts or gets blown by the wind. Another fact to watch out for is that clip-in extensions may fall off if you're not careful. Depending on the hair style, they can be theperfect fit for your big day DO!
Tip#6 : SELECT FIRST… Choose your hairstyle before you choose your Veil (chuni) Your style should not be too bold or modern unless you really want this. A classic yet modern style is tried and tested and you won't have to worry about looking foolish.
Tip#7: HAIR JEWELRY! For darker lots, it’s a must. All locks love accessories! Whether simple or not, flowers, diamonds, pearls, headbands, pins, earrings (yes earrings!)…you can use just about anything to add some drama to your hair style. For Desi Brides, you have more jewelry to select, make sure your tikka’s, bridal bindi, are complimentary to your forehead/hair and not overwhelming on it. Consult your hairstylist for options and suggestions, you won’t be disappointed.
Tip#8:WASH! Don't wash your hair (Unless it gets really oily) on the day of your wedding. You hair is better when it's settled down so try and wash it at least 24 hours before the time of the wedding.
Tip#9: TRESS REHERSAL! Plan your wedding, hairstyle, make up and dress well in advance. These 4 things must all work together and you don't want to find out at the last minute that something conflicts with something else. Bring pictures of styles that you like and try out a couple of styles that work with the shape of your face and features, you will know when it looks like YOU!
Tip#10: EMERGENCY KIT! Hire an all day “fairy god mother” to ensure every lock is in place and every hair accessory has not moved! If you don’t do this, then make sure you have a hair emergency kit with you. It should have pins and spray and whatever else you need. You probably won't need it, but you will feel better knowing it's there. By the way, don't forget a makeup repair kit. I mean, it is a highly emotional day. Who knows who might tear with joy?
Plan your beauty routine and leave nothing to chance. Make your appointments in advance and the only thing you have to do on your wedding day is have fun and enjoy every moment.
