You have all the hair you need and wish you could bottle it up and sell
it if you could, as it would pay for your up and coming wedding. In
fact, you have so much hair you need to use a wide toothed comb. If you
want long hair you have to let it grow much longer than your straight
haired sisters because of all the natural curl and waves. For you, it
can be a problem. However, for others who do not have "your problem" can
cause the green eyed monster to erupt inside them.
For your wedding day, perhaps you are thinking about a smooth hairstyle
gently flowing upon your shoulders. You heard through the grapevine
about this wonderful Salon who is always busy doing brides and decided
to go there. Good work!
If your mind is made up to do your hair yourself and your hair is unruly
kinky at times and you'd like your curls to be quite large and rounded,
roll your hair with exceptionally large rollers about the size of orange
juice cans. After it is dry, give a good brushing for that natural look
you desire. Be sure and do this at the last minute so your hair will
keep its large smooth curls throughout your reception. Another option
would be to use your flat iron and smooth your hair out but tilt it
under or up just a little bit, on the ends, depending which way you'd
want your hair to go. Or, use the largest curling iron you can find to
smooth your locks out and have that graceful wave you want to achieve.
Make sure you select a good hardcore gel that will make your hair do
exactly what you want it to do. It might take forever to dry, but the
long range effects would well be worth it.
Should your hair be short, the same thing goes for short hair also. Use
the largest rollers you can find to smooth out your hair or the largest
curling iron you can find. I wouldn't use the flat iron unless you want
a very straight look. Brush when dry and place the large curls where
you'd like them.
One of the most beautiful styles a naturally curly/wavy head can wear
when there is a wedding, is to go along with what you already have.
Magnify the positive. For example, if you have this lush mane and don't
know what to do with it, roll it with medium rollers in haphazard
directions all over your head. When dry, brush out good. Pull your hair
back and attach the pins vertically on both sides. This will look like a
cascade of curls gracefully flowing down your neck and back. Brush the
top back and attach the pins across your head horizontally. If someone
were to look at the shape of your pins from the back, it would be all in
the direction of an upside down horseshoe. Fluff the curls and waves out
generously. You have a lot of hair and this is your day to be that
Princess for your new husband. Next could come a synthetic braid wrapped
around the top of the curls and waves. You could also place the comb of
your veil right under the pins you put on top of your head horizontally.
Presto! You look like a Grecian Goddess. This is one of the most
beautiful styles for brides who have exceptionally long naturally curly
or wavy hair. This style is very feminine and brings versatility along
with a bit of a Mediterranean flair.
You say, you'd like to wear your long wavy locks up for the wedding? No
problem. Let's talk about something simple, yet stylish. You've washed
your hair and it's dry. Brush your hair, then take the bulk of your hair
and twist it in the back going up. If your twist is successful it will
look small with a bunch of poufs of hair sticking out on top. The top
will be flat, as will be the sides. Everything will be in that small
twist you just created, mostly in the crown. What didn't go in there
will be sticking out on the top of your crown. You have pinned your
twist with pins and fastened everything very securely. Now you spray the
hair with hairspray and allow it to dry. Take your medium sized curling
iron and curl what is left. Weave the curls around and through the other
curls and pin. Take your time. Take one to three small tuffs of hair and
use a crimping iron for it to stand out over the rest. You'll definitely
look like a model walking down your own special runway when you stroll
down the aisle. Diamond earrings that hang would bring just the touch
that would be fitting for royalty. Diamond studs would also look demure
and bring class to your special event.
If you are carrying a bouquet of roses over a white back ground, lace or
satin will blend in quite well. Silver, diamonds, pearls or rubies will
also go with your gown. Be creative and have fun designing and do not be
fearful of trying new things. You do not have to be like everyone else.
Dare to be different and have a stunning wedding!
