Bridal Hair Guide
This weekend, Hollywoods hottest couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will tie the knot in the beautiful city of Paris (we think our invitation may have got lost in the post). We’re all anticipating what Kim (and Kanye’s) wedding outfits will look like, and more importantly how Kim and the beautiful Kardashian sisters will style their luscious locks on the big day.
Ahead of the biggest wedding of the year, the team here at Pauls Hair World have put together some top tips to help you find your perfect wedding hair style and feel a million dollars on your big day….
Wedding hair can be incredibly simple, or beautifully ornate and dressed. Either way, make sure you have planned your look in advance and considered the dress, make-up and overall event to get the right look. Choose the hair style you want first, many women opt for an up-do on their wedding day but if this is not normally a style you would go for, choose a hairstyle that you will feel comfortable with and will stay in place all day.
Take inspiration from celebrities, whether it’s a classic look like Kate Middleton or a modern bun in the style of Hillary Duff – be confident with your look. Taking inspiration from your dress is also important, if your dress has a vintage feel why not channel this look with your hair style like Made In Chelsea star Millie Macintosh on her wedding day or
Once you have selected your hair style, then consider your veil – remember to try both together to ensure they work well and complement each other. It can be valuable to get at least one practice run in with your hairdresser, so you are both comfortable about what you want on the day, and prepared.
In the run up to your wedding, take care of your hair with good nutrition, the right products, plenty of conditioner and gentle care. Your hairdresser can help to advise well in advance. Don't play around with new colours, cuts or treatments beforehand. If you do regularly have a colour, book in a touch-up or refresh around two weeks before, so your hair is perfectly presented and beautifully shiny.
Test out any planned hair products beforehand so that you're confident with them and have no allergies. It's also well worth washing your hair around 24 hours before the big day, so it can settle and look its best. If you wash it on the day it will be too soft to style perfectly.
If you are looking to buy hair extensions to add length and thickness to your hair on your big day, clip in hair extensions work well for this purpose. Many brides worry about matching the colour of their hair extensions to their hair colour. We recommend visiting our expert team’s in-store at Pauls Hair World who can help select the perfect colour and style of hair extensions within your price range for your big day. We have stores in Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow (click here to find your nearest Pauls Hair World store) and an expert team who are also available to advise you over the phone if you have any questions about ordering online.
And above all, have fun, relax and enjoy!
