Wedding Hair Styles for Long Hair

What is the day that most women dream of for as long as they can remember? Their wedding day! They begin planning it when they are young and hold onto that dream until the day finally comes. Throughout the years of her life tiny details may change but for the most part the dream she had as a child is what she will still want on her actual wedding day. It’s a day that is all about the bride and everything has to be perfect including her hair.

The options are endless when it comes to hair styles for long hair. Before the decision is made on the right hair style consult with a hair stylist first. Bring the bridal veil that the bride will be wearing and let the hair stylist decide on a style that will compliment the veil and the bride on this special day. You want your hair stylist to be someone you trust that you know will make your hair look stunning on your special day.

Long hair looks great left down if the hair is in great condition. Long, flowing hair has always been an appealing look. Depending on how close it is until the big day you could start doing some deep conditioning and oil treatments to get your hair back into shape for your big day. Another trick to help the health of your hair is to apply your conditioner right before you go to bed and then put on a shower cap so that you don’t get conditioner everywhere. Sleep with the shower cap on and when you wake up rinse your hair. After just one night of this you will see a dramatic difference in the health of your hair.

If you want to wear your hair down but want to make sure your hair isn’t falling in your face the bangs can be swept back and clipped on the side. Many brides that have straight hair like to change it up by having curly hair, be sure to practice with a stylist before hand because long hair requires more effort to curl.

Updo’s are great as well because it helps put the focus on the brides face and adds a hint of sophistication to the overall look. The bride can choose from a full updo or a half updo depending on the style of dress. Here is an easy to do updo that is perfect for any wedding. Use a small curling iron and curl every piece of hair (except for front area if bangs are typically left down). Grab a spiral curl one at a time and pull it to the top, turn it over and pin it into place. Repeat this step with each spiral curl until there is a beautiful curled cluster. Smooth out the front bangs and secure with a bobby pin behind the ears.

Whether you choose to wear your hair up or down on your bid day be sure it’s a hair style that you are happy with. Take the time to practice with your hair stylist and try out many different styles before deciding on the perfect one. This is your special day and you should look and feel your absolute best.
