Long Hair

Do you wear your long hair pulled back most of the time? An updo would

be just the style for you! Incorporate a detail from your gown into your hair

design. Details such as braiding or twisting of fabric can be duplicated into

the hairstyle. Look to the texture of the dress. A soft wispy hairstyle

complements a soft flowing gown. A smooth gown of reflective fabric such as silk

or satin is complemented by a smooth, shiny hairstyle of knots or rolls.

Do you wear your long hair down most of the time? Then try wearing

some of it up away from your face, leaving the rest to cascade around your

shoulders. Many grooms request their beloved keep their hair down. Let this be

the first of many compromises! Allow a few tendrils to escape and frame your

face, they can be curled or left natural. Having it all down is just too casual

for the big day.

Natural curls? Enhance them and work with them; keep your look soft.

Straight hair? Don't expect a set to last all day, wear it up. If the

curls are pinned in place there will be less to worry about.

Medium Hair

Just around the shoulders is considered medium length hair. If you

don't have too many layers your options are similar to that of the longhair

styles. Medium length can be curled and worn with a sparkly headband or tiara to

dress it up. Or simply tuck some hair behind your ears and use one of the very

popular decorative hair clips to hold it back. My hair kits show great styling

tips for getting medium hair into an up-do!

Is your medium hair layered? If your medium hair has some length, the

back can go up for an elegant look. Hot rollers are a must for giving the

necessary body needed for this look. Give yourself time to experiment.

Think faux! There are great fake hair add on items out there. Put one

on your ponytail and go!

Short Hair

Don't despair there is a lot that can be done! Keep the front of your

hair looking like you. Dust off your curling iron and give your hair some

fullness in the crown area and back. Today's "curls" are for creating texture.

Many hair products on the market are designed for texturizing the hair, not

necessarily for holding it in place.

Don't touch the curls while they are warm! Once the hair is cooled run

your fingers through with some hair wax. Pinch and place the "texture" where you

want it! Don't brush your hair or it will look too pouf-y, frizzy, and (Horror!)

dated!! Top your style with a tiara or a few hair clips and you are ready to go!

Really short hair? For a daytime wedding fresh flowers look great in

short hair. For an evening wedding slick it back with gel or wax showcasing

dramatic earrings and fabulous make-up!
