Million Dollar Bridal Hairstyles By DAR
How should Asian bride's prepare before coming to you for a trial?
If a Asian bride hasn't already started planning her look, she is akin to a blank canvas and we can start planning together from scratch. However, some ideas of the kind of style she is going for, with reference to photos and magazines are helpful and she should bring these along with her.

If a bride has already started executing her plan and done some of her wedding shopping, then I would require her to bring the following to her trial with me:

The jewelry and hair accessories (Flowers,Tiika, Jumahar,Tiara, Dupatta etc.) that she intends to wear on her wedding day should be brought with her as these have a big bearing on how the hair will be style. If the exact items are have not been chosen then she should bring something
similar or at least use photographs as a reference point.

The make-up should be worn on the day of her trial in a similar way as she would wear it on the big day itself. This actually works to the advantage of the bride and the hairstylist so that they can both see the total look and work on any areas of synergy and improvement in time for the big day.

The top part of her bridal outfit must be brought along too but if that's not available then she should wear a top with a similar neckline, shoulder cut and the exact sleeve measurements for creating the perfect image for her wedding day!

Lastly she should bring along a camera so that we can capture each pose differently designed giving an idea of how it should be and what it should be having the options for taking suggestions!

How should the hair stylist and beautician's work interact with each other for creating a TOTAL LOOK? I have always preferred that make-up for the trial and the wedding day itself should be done BEFORE I create the hairstyle. Make-up for the bride is as important as the hairstyle and a good make-up artist can enhance the features of the face bringing the best out in you!


Having the make-up done first, clearly gives the Asian bride and the hairstylist an indication of how the design looks before the hairstylist creates the final finishing touch that complements and crowns the bride's total look. Ultimately you don't want your hair to compete with your make-up and vice versa, they should be in harmony with each other.


How can brides keep their hair in good condition fortheir wedding?
Plan a program to ensure your hair is in top condition for the day. Go for regular trims and conditioning treatments every 6-8 weeks to give your hair strength and shine. At home use a good quality moisturising shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair type and which your bridal hair stylist recommends.Diet is also important to maintain luscious locks. Drink plenty of water and have a diet with good protein content.

What are your top three hair tips for brides to be?
Firstly, if your regular hairdresser is good at dressing hair for special events I would recommended that he or she should be the one to do your bridal hair.

Secondly, it's better and easier to create a stunning bridal hairstyle on long layered hair rather the hair which is short/and or of uniform length, so do grow you hair out for your wedding.

Lastly, if you have always maintained your natural hair colour, I recommend that you add some low lights and high lights which must be done by a professional colourist. It will enhance your skin tone and make it glow for your wedding and honeymoon.
