Professionally Yours Mobile Wedding Hair

One aspect of creating a beautiful bride is the hairstyle, so let’s look at the options of the many styles available for you.

UPSTYLING

When done properly, upstyles should last all day and evening. The hair is secured by a structured procedure – not just lacquer and pins! Some of the softer ‘messy’ looks, with curls cascading down loosely around the face may not hold as well, even with a professional’s touch. It does depend on the hair type often. Use of padding and product creates the illusion of fuller and thicker hair.

Heavier types of hair, particularly one hair length, do not lend themselves to this sort of style. Hair with more texture and layering is often perfect for this soft look. Professional hairstyling products can create amazing results but not miracles!

Heavier hair lends itself to a more structured sleeker style – such as a top bun, low bun or off centre bun design. It’s a fabulously elegant look, classic and timeless.

Your bridal gown may dictate aspects to the overall look. An intricate gown with lots of detail in fabric, lace, sequins etc may be better suited to a simpler hairstyle and accessories.

Your face shape does play an important part too. A longer face does is not enhanced by a bun on top of the head, it creates an overall elongated look. A side bun gives the optical illusion of a wider face in this instance. This is where an objective opinion from your hairstyling specialist is important.

An added advantage of an upstyle of course is that there are more options for the entire bridal party.
You are able keep your hairstyle different. If you choose an upstyle for yourself (say bun at the back) then a side bun looks spectacular for the bridesmaids. I find mostly that brides prefer up or down for everyone.

Of course, the weather can play a part. Upstyles are less affected by humid, wet or windy conditions.

Hair is better not touching any part of your dress, as it takes away the focus.

In conclusion an upstyle can be just a fabulous look. It’s a hair artist’s creation and there are so many variations to consider.

. Trials;
– The question I get asked the most is ‘Do I need a trial?’ In a short answer, yes. I highly recommend that you have a trial approximately 12 weeks before your big day (if it can be). Another tip, if it’s possible organize your trial to take place in the morning, this gives you the day to see how your hair and make-up hold up, take notes on any issues you may have .... Also bring to your trial your head piece or veil (if it is possible) to ensure you have a full visual on what your hoping to achieve.
