Let’s face it, we all have good hair days and bad hair days. Yet, no bride wants to deal with lackluster hair on their wedding day. If this is your current concern—never fear. You can achieve a lasting style for your lovely locks with precise preparation, styling processes, and attention to detail.
We’re here to help you complete your look as a beautiful bride with some essential styling advice for your tresses. Here are our professional tips for getting your wedding hairstyle to last all day long.
Make Prepped Hair the First Step
Brides often wonder: should I have freshly cleaned hair on my wedding day? Remember, washing your hair on the morning of the wedding can make your locks too soft to hold a lasting style. Dirty-yet-clean hair holds style the best. Aim for “day two” hair if possible, and spray in dry shampoo to keep your locks clean while ensuring essential holding texture. Don’t forget to keep your fingers—and their natural oils—away from your hair.
Create Ideal Texture and Volume
Texture is essential to help your chosen style maintain its shape throughout the day. That being said, there’s no need to look like a pageant queen or ’80s movie star. A little bit of volume is the key to achieving a hairdo that isn’t flat on your head when it's time to walk down the aisle.
Be sure to check every angle of your hairdo during the styling session. As the day goes on, ask your bridesmaids to keep a lookout in case any touch-ups are necessary. The right tools and finishing products will prevent the style from losing its eye-catching charm.
Use the Best Styling Products
Getting your wedding hairstyle to last all day is straightforward with the right products. There is a wide variety of hairspray and holding products on the market to keep your personalized look fresh and flawless. Having several options on hand is ideal when creating custom styles. Always apply hairspray at the appropriate angle and distance to control strands and avoid any shiny patches or clingy clumps.
Hire a Professional
Some brides are confident in styling their own tresses, but many opt to hire a beauty professional for their wedding day needs. Stylists can advise on suitable styles for your face shape, hair type, and preferences to curate a one-of-a-kind look. Working with an experienced hairstylist ensures your favored no-fuss style stays perfectly intact from the morning festivities to the ceremonial “I do.” Not to mention hitting up the reception’s dance floor.
