A Glossy Affair

Looking after your beloved locks takes love and care and never more so than in the months and weeks before your glossiest affair – your wedding. Soft, swirly curls or delicate bounciness; whatever makes for tempting tresses, the most important thing is to ensure your hair is in peak condition. With the busy planning phase of your wedding, how best to achieve the perfect glossy look?

Healthy Hair
Firstly, it all begins about six months before your wedding day where a focus on a healthy diet will pay dividends by the time you’re ready for the altar.  Plenty of fruit and vegetables, red meat for root-strengthening protein, the required amount of water intake, and vitamin or mineral supplements will all combine to give a welcome boost to your crowning glory.  Not only will a healthy lifestyle boost your hair health, but it will also help to alleviate stress, waive off fatigue and boost your immune system when you need your vitality the most. Achieving healthy hair is also accomplished with a regular trim, which helps to keep the ends soft and strong and which keeps your hair’s nutrients at their peak.  Even if you want to grow your hair, it is equally important to ensure it is regularly trimmed to avoid irritating split ends.

Colour me extra beautiful!
If you want to highlight your hair’s natural tones or add a gloss and glimmer to your existing shades, then a professional colour expert is perfect for you.  Even if you are an old hand at colouring your own hair, avoid it for your wedding day.  Think about it: glistening tiara or sweeping veil atop brassy, come amber fiasco!  If your favourite hair stylist is willing to try a new colour that would perhaps work better, the time for trying options out is about three months before your wedding.  Allowing this sort of time allows for the wrong result to fade away and restore your natural shades. Whether your plan to colour your hair or not, regular deep conditioning and hair treatments must appear on your hair to-do list.  As well as being relaxing and calming in themselves, these treatments will boost the vitality of your hair and ad to its flexibility for up-styles or unique styles created by your stylist just for you.

Upstyles????
When it comes to the ‘wearing it up or down’ dilemma, this is all about your wedding dress.  Since your wedding dress is likely to be purchased about six months before your wedding, you have plenty of time to call the hair brigade into action! Allow adequate time to try various options; it’s a balance between your personality and the wedding dress.  Any tiaras, combs or other hair accessories and ideally the veil should accompany you to the hair salon.  This will give your stylist a really good feel for what will work and what won’t. Love and life are all about timing, so here’s our best advice.  Last hair cut to be three weeks before the wedding; last colouring of your hair two weeks before wedding; last deep conditioning four days before; last wash of your hair on the day prior with a mild shampoo to aid styling.
