Wedding Hair Prep: My Top 3 Tips
From the moment a bride says "yes," the next big question is — "what should I do with my hair?" As a wedding hair specialist,
I’ve seen it all! Here’s what I always tell my brides to focus on:
1. Condition is Queen
Healthy hair is the foundation of any great wedding look. Book a face-to-face consultation with your stylist—ideally midweek when
it’s quieter. Consultations are often free and absolutely invaluable. We need to see and feel your hair to truly understand its needs,
from scalp to texture to colour.
2. Trim With Intention
It's tempting to let your hair grow wild once you're engaged—but don't! Skipping trims leads to split ends that can actually limit your
styling options. Many modern updos work best with hair that’s shoulder-length or just below. Longer isn’t always stronger, especially
if the ends are wispy. And if you're craving volume, clip-in extensions are a game-changer.
3. Let Colour Complement the Style
For hair-up styles, colour placement is everything. Bring visual aids—Pinterest boards, moodboards, magazine clippings—so we can visualize
your dream look together. Hairdressers are creative beings; seeing is believing!
