Prepare
Your Hair For The Big Day: Advice By DAR

|
 |
Celebrity Hair Stylist and
media celebrity, DAR (Of Hari's Salon Fame)
shares with us his invaluable tips for acheiving
the perfect hair condition and style on your
big day. As DAR succinctly reveals, vitamins,
research and lots of planning will make sure
both you and your hair look absolutley stunning
on your wedding day.
1. Select Your Bridal Hair
Stylist
Once your Prince Charming pops the question,
make things easier for yourself and start looking
for your desired hairdresser and make-up artist
straightaway. Unless your personal hair stylist
specialises in weddings, look for one who can
dress hair well but also has the experience
to back their skills up for the big day. Word-of-mouth
recommendations are good but not always advisable
because what suits one person's hair might not
suit another, so visit their website, check
their portfolio and find out if they've done
|
|
|
any magazine work or high-profile
events.
2. Book Your Hair Stylist Well In
Advance
Once you've found your ideal bridal hair and make-up
expert, make sure you book them well in advance. This
also gives you a chance to decide what you'd like
to do with your hair and make-up - if you decide on
a long hairdo; you have time to grow it into the style.
This gives you the opportunity to get your hair and
skin into top condition by taking vitamin supplements
that help boost health. My personal favourite is the
colour enhancing treatment, which is a vegetable dye
(not permanent) that makes the hair extremely glossy.

3. The
All Important Trial
The hair and make-up trial is a must because
it enables you to feel comfortable with the
style you choose. It is crucial that you put
some make-up on the trial day because if you
try on glamorous hairdos with a plain face,
it doesn't allow you to accurately envisage
how you'll look.
Try to get your make-up artist to join you on
the trial, so it's a perfect match. Most importantly,
take the top of your wedding outfit with you
or take something that has a similar cut or
colour to it. This allows the hairdresser to
assess your overall look and suggest accessories
accordingly.
4. Get The Opinion Of A Trusted
Confidante
Take a close friend or relative with you to
the trial. I can't stress this enough. It ensures
that you won't be pushed into a hairstyle you're
not sure of, and it's
|

|
nice to know that when you do
settle on your chosen hairstyle, there'll be someone
there to reassure you when the pre-wedding jitters
kick in.
5. Research & Be Well Prepared
- Know What You Want! Go to the trial well prepared.
Flick through as many bridal magazines as you can
and take cuttings from them so you can piece together
a look you're completely happy with. If you roughly
know what you want before the trial, it makes things
a lot easier.
6. Put Yourselves In The Hands Of
An Expert
Be adventurous. Let your hairdresser suggest a variety
of styles and choose the one you feel most comfortable
in. Summer brides are extremely fortunate because
even a simplistic style like a side-parted bun looks
stunning if accessorised with tropical blooms.
7. Thinning Hair Is No Problem!
If you hair is on the thin side, don't be afraid to
use hairpieces to boost the volume. I've found that
women who aren't used to having their hair elaborately
styled are apprehensive of using them but, as long
as you buy a quality hairpiece that is a good match
to your natural hair colour, it can look fantastic.
I strongly recommend you to buy 100 per cent human
hair clip-on extension shop such as Hairaisers. For

8. Capture
The Evidence Of That Winning Hairstyle!
Once you decide on a hairstyle, take pictures
of the front, back and side. This allows you
to show your family and friends your hairstyle
to get feedback. Bring the picture with you
on the big day to remind your hair stylist of
the style you chose to ensure it's an exact
replica.
9. Wash Your Hair The Day
Before The Trial
Wash your hair the day before the trial as opposed
to on the actual day. If the hair is too clean,
it becomes difficult to put up and requires
a lot of mousse and hair spray, which may make
your hair feel unnecessarily heavy.
10. Choose A Hairstyle That
You Feel Comfortable With
Always choose a hairstyle you feel most comfortable
with and that suits your individual sense of
style and face shape, as opposed to what you're
told is

"in vogue".
