Here’s how not to let your hair and your headdress be a source of anxiety before the day.
· Once you’ve chosen your dress a headdress, let your hairdresser into the secret. It’s our job to help you look your best and we need the full picture.
· Have several appointments before the big day so that you can try out a few different ways of styling your hair and wearing you headdress. Make you appointments for the end of your working day or a work-free day – you don’t want to have to go back to work looking as if you’re off to a party. That way you’ll also have a few hours of getting used to the style and seeing how stable it is.
· Tiaras are popular again, and even the lightest ones need careful anchoring with pins, plaits and hairpieces. During your practice sessions, give your hair a vigorous shaking to make sure the tiara stays put. A lot is demanding of a bride. For a start, everyone will want to kiss you and someone’s hat is going to come into contact with your piece of hair engineering. Small bridesmaids occasionally need encouragement and you’ll find yourself bending down to do so – it makes a great picture so long as your tiara’s not sliding off. And there’s no knowing what stray bits of a tree, a car, a pew or a table are going to lock on to your veil and give it a good tug.
· If you want to change your hairstyle, make sure you have discussed every aspect of it with your hairdresser beforehand. If you want to change your colour, do it a little in advance. This gives you time to get used to it and make and necessary adjustments.
· If you want a light perm for extra body have that done in advance to – say two to three weeks beforehand, but not at the same time as having colour done.
· Have at least one practice run for your make-up. Involve your hairdresser so that he can make adjustments to your hair if need be – it will only be something like tweaking a fringe to give more emphasis to your eyes. It all helps to make you feel great on your wedding day.
· Try not to look worried every time you try on your headdress. Smile and you’ll look better and feel massively more confident.
· If you are wearing a hat, give your hairdresser a chance to see it and work with it before the wedding – not on the day!
· Finally, if your hairdresser comes to your house to do your hair on the day of the wedding, do let him/her know in advance if you want him to do a quick style on your mum or grandma so that he allows himself time or brings somebody else along.
