Wedding Hairstyles Vintage Romance (II)


Styling Details
Enhance natural curls by curling the ends of the hair with a medium size curling iron.

Next, softly twist the sides of the hair and pin toward the back of the head. If your bangs are long enough, include them in the twists.

Finally, take the loose ends at the back of the head and pin in different directions to form a softly curled "chignon" or bun.

Lori's Secret Styling Tip
After slightly twisting a section, Lori mists it with hair spray before pinning. This helps keep the definition of each twisted curl.

Formal Wedding Hair Styles: Elegance for You

Author: Michelle Diamond

Searching for a hair style that will give you an elegant look? You'll be needing these kind of hair cuts if you're attending a wedding, a prom or a formal party or dinner. You'll need to look the best! From dressing up, wearing make-up on your face, spraying the best perfume, putting on your expensive jewelry, and the most important feminine feature, getting a formal hair cut.

Combine Yourself

Your hair has to accentuate your dress, make-up and jewelry. It has to combine with every aspect of your attire. That means not every style works for the same event. An updo might do wonders at a wedding ceremony, but not so much at a formal dinner. Or wearing shiny long locks might work for a fancy party, but might not look so well for a prom.

How to Choose Your Elegant Hair Style

The first thing to do is look for the formal hair do that fits you the most. It depends on the type of event, so bear in mind the moment of the day, the place, and the purpose while choosing the style. Try searching in magazines and online, but always keep in mind your own type of hair and shape of your face while doing so. Also, take into account your dress because you have to match the hair cut style with it. A good idea is to decide beforehand in whether your hair is going to be receiving all the attention or your dress. If the dress is simple, then go for the hair, if it's not then go otherwise.

Take Action

Once you find the one you want, cut it or print it out so you can take it to your hairdresser. You will want to do this because you need professional advice on the style, since hairdressers train for that all their lives, and you just want the style for one night. Take enough pictures to offer many options so that you and your stylist can decide on the perfect one together. Last but not least, you will need to prepare your hair for the style, so get it washed professionally and groom it to perfection, because you don't want any hair style looking shabby or cluttered.

Wedding Hairstyles Garden Party (II)


Styling Details
Use both a medium and large curling iron to create natural looking, soft romantic curls.

To create fullness at the crown of the head, tease the hair and then smooth over the teased crown to create volume.

Finally, take two side sections of hair and pull them back and secure with a comb or barrette.

A Secret Styling Tip
For thin hair Lori recommends adding a bit of hair padding to create extra volume at the crown of the head. A hair piece may also be used to add fullness to the ends.

Wedding Hairstyles Garden Party (I)



If you're planning a wonderful afternoon garden wedding, your style may be more relaxed and casual. Loose tussled hair pulled back softly with a sparkling comb creates a fresh, wholesome wedding hairstyle.

Hair Type
Lori says this hairstyle can be achieved with almost all hair types. Normally hair with a wave or curl works best though, because the curl holds longer. Shoulder length hair or longer works best.

If your hair is wavy, blow out the front section of hair to achieve the sleekness for the front of hair style. If your hair is straight, be sure to use a heavy holding hair spray for long lasting curls.

The 4Cs of Haute and Healthy Wedding-Day Hair - Cleanse

http://www.weddingchannel.com/beauty/buildArticle.action?assetUID=84213

Sure, everyone knows the 4Cs of diamonds: cut, clarity, color, and carat weight. But do you know the 4Cs of hair care? To discover what they are and how to get your hair into tip-top shape for your wedding-day debut, read on below.

Cleanse
It’s important to set a shampooing and conditioning schedule, particularly for the days leading up to the wedding. For instance, it's usually not advised that you shampoo your hair right before styling it, as this can make those strands too slippery to handle. But different hair types require different hair care, so discuss with a professional who knows your hair best. The elements of life can throw locks for a loop. Pollution, dirt, dust, and the sun all add up to damage. You'll want to use a shampoo that's tailored to your hair type and use it accordingly. For instance, if you have oily hair, you may need to shampoo more frequently than someone with dryer follicles.
