There is one important tip to consider. Unless you are quite talented or
have a friend that has a knack with hair I highly recommend going to
that professional on your important day so everything will go smoothly
for you. Stress can reveal a worried look on your face and follow
through right to your “I do’s.”
Short vs long thin hair? Short hair can be a good choice and look just
as beautiful. Short hair always accommodates what clothes you wear. With
short hair, you can look ultra neat, chic and sophisticated and sexy as
well. Did I say, short hair and sexy?
Some of the most beautiful women
in the world have short hair. Perhaps you haven’t noticed. Some even
have thin hair they have disguised with highlighting, hair pieces,
lotions and gels over the years. Therefore, you are not alone. Ask
yourself, what type of look do you have in mind? Do you want short
straight hair? Use very heavy gel or lotion and use your blow dryer with
your round brush until smooth. A bob slightly tilting under would be
quite nice. The gel, blow dryer and brush should blow your cuticle fat
enough for the full effect you are seeking. If you are thinking more
about curls, roll your hair with medium sized rollers with the gel or
lotion and set under the dryer about 30 minutes. Before you brush your
hair out, spray and allow to dry first. You have set your rollers toward
the exact direction you want your curls to go, you will notice this when
you are brushing your hair out. If you want your face framed with curls,
you set your rollers toward your face. If you want your hair going back
away from your face, you set them going back. If you have about two
inches of hair all around your head, you can purchase inch sized rollers
and position them in various ways to get a tousled affect. After dry,
backcomb your hair all over and take your fingers smoothing out
different parts and scattering it lightly for a full effect. Do not use
the brush unless you want a very smooth, irregular look.
Today, Brides are wearing their veils from the top of their head to the
nape of their head. Anywhere except over their face like yesterday.
Then, there are those who are not bothering to buy a veil. Any length
veil would look nice /if/ your hair is styled good underneath. If your
veil is attached to a tiara, most place this directly on top of the head
with the veil flowing from the back. Without the tiara I have seen some
connected just above a cluster of curls on the base of the head with a
hair ornament attached to it. Some like flowers in their hair such as
baby breath. All this is in accordance to the taste of the Bride.
What if you have natural curly hair and it seems to be too curly for the
style you would like? We’ll talk about this in the next article.
