Perfect Wedding Hairstyle Ideas and Tips

by Paul Jones

Your wedding is the most important day of your life and you want to look gorgeous! It is important to spend a few months looking through different hairstyle magazines and online to get as many different hairstyle ideas as you can. I have compiled a few great wedding hairstyle tips and ideas below to help you create the look of your dreams for your upcoming wedding day.

For those brides-to-be out there who have long, flowing hair, the hottest and most popular wedding hairstyle of 2008 is to simply have your hair down and curled slightly at the ends of your hair. This is a very elegant look that is sure to compliment any wedding dress and any face shape. If you are looking for a little something more, inserting small and matching flowers into your hair can create that little something extra to make your style unique.

Although up-dos were once the most popular and traditional way to wear your hair on your wedding day, today is much more natural. Another great look is to have your hair half up and collected at the back with a large flower. This keeps your hair out of your face, your veil in place and leaves the bottom of your hair long and flowing down the back of your beautiful gown.

For those of you with shorter hair length before your wedding there are many different options. There are several hairstyles that can be created by your hairstylist to make it look like you have a stunning up-do with short hair. Also, leaving your hair loose and perhaps wavy is a great look, depending on just how short your hair is.

Beautiful Long Wedding Hairstyles

A long wedding hairstyle just looks and sound romantic. Add soft curls, maybe some wispy bangs and you have the perfect wedding look.

by Sukhpreet kaur

1. Beauty Regime to be followed before the big day For that perfect glow on the wedding day, you need to consider a few things a few weeks prior to the wedding day. About six weeks before the wedding, you should start a skin and nail care plan. Tell your beautician to give you regular facials and manicures.

Avoid going in sun about 3-4 weeks prior to the wedding. Sunburns and peeling skin shouldn't disrupt your wedding day.

2. Take care of your Body-Mind-Spirit Always remember the importance of Body-Mind-Spirit. What's going on inside you is as important as looking good. We all know that preparing for a wedding is very stressful and if you are not taking proper care of yourself by not sleeping enough or not eating properly, it will definitely reflect on your face! If you are feeling really stressed out before the wedding, consider having a relaxing massage once every week during the month of wedding and also a day before the wedding day. Also, burn some relaxing essential oils around the house to help calm your nerves.

3. Trial Organize a trial around 1-2 months before the wedding, once you have chosen your make-up artist.

Ask the make-up artist to show you a few pictures from magazines that will help you in deciding a look.

Tell her if you have any skin problems or allergies etc or if there are any particular ways you wear your make-up.

If you are wedding is during the day, it is ideal to organize the trial during the day as it will give you a better idea as to how the make-up will look

4. Have pictures your wedding dress and bridesmaid's dresses If you show the make-up artist pictures of your wedding dress and bridesmaids wedding dresses, it will give her / him the idea for designing the perfect look for you.

5. What look to go with The style that you plan to choose for your wedding make-up will ultimately depend on your personal preference, but there are some other factors that you should consider:

The time of the ceremony - A lot depends on the time of the wedding. Is it during day time or in the evening? A subtle, natural look is more suited to a day wedding and a more striking look is suited to an evening one.

Other aspect is the time of the year of the matrimonial. If you are having a Spring/Summer wedding, go for bright, pastel shades in your make-up. For a winter wedding, warm, deeper shades are preferable.

Your skin tones and hair colour -

If you are blond or have a fair skinned, cool tones of grey, blue, soft pink and lilac are ideal for you.

If you are a brunette or olive skinned, warm neutral tones of brown, taupe, burgundy & red will suit you more.

6. Your Face Foundations with yellow undertones work perfectly with flash photography.

Avoid using shimmer highlighters as this look will not look well in photos and give a reflective shine.

Ask your make-up artist to use a bronzing powder, it will warm your skin tone and wll give your face a natural glow.

7. Your Eyes The make-up around your eye-area should be soft and natural with no heavy, dark lines. Use a brow pencil which is a little darker than your hair colour and keep away from heavy, dark shadows.

8. Your Lips Use a lip-liner which is of the same colour as your lipstick and do not use a noticeable or dark lip line, it looks tacky. If you define one area in your make-up, it will look more pleasing. If you want dark and defined eyes, go for a lighter lip shade and if you want bright lips, go for natural, light eyes.

9. Timing Don't forget to ask your make-up artist to arrive a little before time and so that there is enough time to get the job done. As the last thing you want on your wedding day is rush.

10. Last moment touch-ups Remember to ask your mum or one of your friends / sisters to carry a powder compact, tissues and lipstick for touch-ups during the occasion.

Just remember these tips and you will look the most beautiful bride on your wedding day.

Top hair styling tools - achieve a special look

by stephen hall

You will be amazed at the number of options from hair curlers to flat irons and hair crimpers available to you, as never before to achieve that special looks and effects from night out clubbing with your friends to wedding hairstyles. Although it is really confusing when it comes to selection as almost all hair styling tips mention the use of one or another styling aids or hair styling tools. Moreover, product terminology adds extra level of confusion. To make it clear take the example of any hair styling tools that generates heat to change the shape of your hair is termed as hair setter but when it comes to advertising, the term is most frequently applied to various hot rollers.

Therefore, here are some of the top hairs styling tools that are named for their special type of functions. Starting with flat irons that is the biggest craze among the people of this era looks like a clamp, which generates heat to temporarily straighten hair. A very simple device works well on thin sections of your hair through the closed jaws of the iron. Work from close to the roots to the end of your hair and combs your hair after each pass. Pass the iron slowly but steadily over your hair and never pause or leave the iron in one place. Your hair will stay straight and sleek as long as it is dry. These flat irons are also called hair straighteners and come in a variety of configurations and those lined with a ceramic material are of the best and most affordable quality. Take the example of flat irons from GHD and CHI. They are undoubtedly excellent. They also have variable heat settings, a nice feature to help protect the hair from damage.

Like the hair straightener there is another hair styling tools called hair crimpers that are much the same in appearance and are used in much the same way except that the hair is pressed for a few seconds to put waves in instead of taking them out. Unlike the traditional chair dryers in a salon, a blow dryer of todays is used in concert with a brush or comb that allows you to dry and to shape your hair in different directions. There are literally thousands of blow dryers on the market but it is recommended to buy a blow dryer that has variable temperature settings, so that you can control the temperature that is required for your hair. Curling irons is another hair styling tools that not only add shape to your hair but also add volume. Hot rollers are also the choice of many who want their style to stay "set" for longer periods.

There are few points that are found to be common with all the hair styling tools is that avoid using these thermal styling tools on wet hair as this will damage your hair. It is also recommended to always buy that hair styling tool that has variable temperature settings. Avoid using the high setting as much as possible. Hair care products that protect against thermal damage should be used if you blow dry daily. And lastly never compromise with the quality of the product.
