ticular style if sleeping on it all night. An alternative would be to have the stylist come and do a 'touch-up' the morning of the wedding. Following are suggestions for different types of hairstyles that may help in the final selection:
* Short hair -
Has it always been a desire to have long hair or hair that could be braided or fashioned into long, attractive curls? If this is the case an experienced stylist can work with the bride and attach hair extensions. These extensions are actually sewn on portions of the hair and, when finished, cannot be identified as anything other than original hair. One should realize that this is a rather expensive procedure and it would be wise to call around and get prices. It is important to check with clients of a stylist, considered, to be sure they know what they are doing. These extensions will last for an indefinite length of time and can be styled the same as regular long hair. For those loving their cute, sassy bob, a natural look is always a winner.
* Long hair -
Long hair is ideal to work with whether or not the bride desires special effects. For formal affairs, a swept up hairdo is very appropriate and for those with a more casual theme, long soft curls are always lovely.
* Color -
It is not wise for the bride to change the color of her hair shortly before her wedding. This could wind up with a shock to several people, including the groom. If the bride has colored hair she would probably want to have the roots touched up, if needed, prior to having her hairstyle completed, but no less than 3 days before the wedding.
* Style -
A high style, with curls high on the top of the head and cascading down the back is beautiful. Some brides prefer the hair pulled to the side in the back with a long curl falling over the shoulder. Others want the hair braided with a coronet type effect on the top of the head with wisps of curled hair falling on each side of the face. There are many styles to choose from and a good stylist can provide a options of the various types of styles which the bride can peruse over a period of several weeks prior to the wedding. It is important that a style be chosen that will compliment the face and not change one's appearance except in a flattering way. Many times a decoration, such as a flower, jewel, or some other item is worked into the hair. Of course, this color should be in coordination with the wedding dress and should not take the place of a veil tiara. By placing it in the back of the hair (covered by the veil) it will be beautiful when the veil is removed for the reception.
Your hairstyle can make or break your overall look and needs to be considered carefully. Just because you friend had a swept up hairdo doesn't mean it would be the right one for you.
