Key to Glamorous Wewdding Hairstyles: Don't look like you tried too hard

by Emily Liebert


Regardless of whether you're headed to a wedding, a fundraising gala, or any special dress-up event, looking fabulous includes wearing not only the right dress and accessories, but also, the right hairstyle.

For Spring and Summer, special occasion hairstyles are all about simplicity, says famous celebrity hairstylist, Cristophe. Looking fabulous during the warm weather requires "not looking too coifed. Don't look like you tried too hard," he counsels, in an interview for www.celebratewithstyle.com .

What are the best looks for Spring and Summer? Cristophe answers quickly: "The simple and elegant straight, sleek look that we saw so often on the red carpet, recently." For up-do's, he maintains, hair loosely pulled back in a chignon or ponytail, with layers casually falling next to the face will be a trendy style. Bangs are also in, he says, as are hair accessories "that accentuate the hair, not overpower it."

What about curly tendrils around the face? "Definitely out," he asserts.

Cristophe, whose flagship salon is in Beverly Hills, speaks with the conviction of a stylist who's sought after by many of today's A-list celebrities. His clients include Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt, Bruce Springsteen, Pamela Anderson, and the Clintons.

Wedding Day Hairstyles

by Barbara Williams


There are a wide variety of hairstyles for wedding ceremonies. From Up-dos, flat-dos, pin curls, finger waves, love locks, dreadlocks and many more. The choice is personal preference.

Do you have long or short hair? Believe it or not, choosing a hairstyle depends on personal comfort level and the attire of your wedding party. If the bride decides everyone involved with the wedding ceremony should have their hair professionally done at a salon, it would be wise to schedule a couple of appointments with a stylist prior to the wedding day. This allows the stylist to present the wedding party with great ideas, and to practice several hairstyles.

(Hint) By all means brings pictures of your hairstyle ideas, they love that because it gives them a visual of what type of hairstyle they are going to achieve. Also if possible pre book that same stylist for your (trial run) practice appointments as well as your wedding day, the stylist will remember exactly what type of hairstyle the both of you had previously agreed on, they will probably keep a not on file, maybe take pictures.

Donít forget to bring all hair accessories to your appointments, tiaraís, barrettes, veils and anything else your wedding party is going to be wearing in the hair. If your trying to keep the cost to a minimum, making several phone calls to a variety of salons will help. Simply ask if they charge for practice appointments for bridal partyís, some salons will charge a minimal fee for trail run hairstyles.

Wedding Trick To Save Money! Keep in mind there are several Beauty Schools that also perform these services, usually the cost is very minimal compared to prices at the salons. But there can be drawbacks. Not all students are at the same education level, some are slower than others, you may not be able to get the same student throughout the whole preparation process.

I have been teaching in Beauty Schools for 2 ‡ years, I have seen some beautiful wedding party up doís, since the schools are a learning facility, the students take pride in creating hairstyles for special occasions.

Wedding Hair Ideas

Are you running out of ideas for your wedding hair style, or can't find just the right one?

Consider this style, that features a loose upsweep and side swept bangs.

To create this hair style, you should do a little back combing in the crown area to create height. Then smooth over the top with your fingers and pull all hair back into a loose, high pony tail.

Wrap sections of hair and twist the pony tail around and pin into place with hair clips.

You can add a jeweled tiara or headpiece to this hair style easily, as the crown area has plenty of room.

Quick Tips for Manageable Hair (II)

By Kathryn M. D'Imperio

Sleek and sexy hairstyles don’t have to take hours to create. If you are comfortable working with your hair, you can design beautiful new styles for yourself in just minutes. Once you know how your hair responds to heat, humidity, rain, styling products and other factors, you can quickly and easily style your hair for any occasion.

Even if you don’t know what to expect from your hair, try these unbeatable tips for a quick fix or a lasting style!

Hair Styling Tips:

Accessorize! On days when you just don’t have time, go for a ponytail or a headband. Realize that your hair can look really cute even if you don’t spend a long time styling it.

Experiment with color. If you find yourself constantly bored with your hair, a new color might be all you need to add some zest to your appearance. Still a little wary of dying your hair? Try a brand that washes out in eight shampoos.

Opt for a new haircut. Colors and accessories do lend a lot to a hairstyle; however, haircuts are the true standby for a new look.

Select styling tools to vary your look. Curling irons, flatirons, combs, pins, clips and an assortment of brushes offer nice diversity for hairstyles.

If all else fails, wear it straight. If you don’t feel like fighting with your hair today, wear it down. For hair that behaves rather well, consider letting your hair dry naturally. If your hair requires more maintenance, apply a gentle styling product to prevent frizzy hair. Remember, a sexy, straight hairstyle can be perfect with any outfit, for any occasion.

Washing and Drying Hair Tips:

Avoid over-washing your hair. If you can stand it, try not to wash your hair with shampoo every single day. For days that you do not wash your hair, apply a fragrant mist designed especially to refresh tresses.
Don’t apply shampoo directly to the top of your head. Apply shampoo from the nape of the neck first, and then work it through the rest of your hair.

Distribute cleansing and styling products evenly through your hair. When you apply conditioner, use a comb to spread the product evenly through your hair.

Lessen trauma to your hair. Try to avoid wrapping your hair in a towel and leaving it twisted up on your head for long. It may be convenient, but it can damage your hair.

Avoid blow-drying your hair everyday. Allow your hair to dry naturally whenever possible, whether you shower at night or let your hair dry over the weekend.

by Vicki Churchill


For any girl their wedding day will be the most important and planned day of their life, something that will be remembered forever and taken months of careful planning.

One of the most important aspects of a wedding is that the bride looks her best and stands out from everyone else. As a bride you will want everything to be perfect and to achieve this you will need to spend many many hours making sure everything is just right!

The wedding dress is probably the most important item of clothing a woman will ever wear and purchase, To finnish off the perfect look the wedding hairstyle must be something that compliments the dress aswell as make the bride look and feel fantastic!

When choosing your wedding hairstyle time is really really important, make sure you have done this well in advance so you can have a trial and make sure you like how it looks, remember sometimes when you see something in a magazine and love it it may not necessarily suit your wedding dress, on the other hand something you never have considered may look perfect.

Most salons will offer free trials or charge a small fee to spend some time discussing what would suit you best.

If you have already chosen your wedding hairstyle then it is always worth having a look around to see if there are and additions or accessories that will compliment it. There are so many accessories available that will make a subtle but noticeable enhancement.

The length of your hair could limit the wedding hairstyles available to you, however if you fall in love with one but your hair is not long enough then you could always have hair extensions however this could prove costly.

Always try at least 5 different styles before you decide on the final one, many brides choose a style they would never have thought of because when you see a style you like on someone else it may not look as good on you, or a style you would never have thought suited you could look fantastic.

Try and choose at least 5 wedding hairstyles that are completely different so you know you have tried different styles and can walk away knowing you have the perfect wedding hairstyle that suits your face and compliments your dress.

As tempting as it might be never show your husband to be your wedding hairstyle, not only is it considered bad luck but it will spoil the over all effect when he sees you walking up the isle.
