Planning your perfect wedding hair starts before the big day

Bridal hair looks its best when the hair is prepared well in advance. Healthy, well-conditioned hair is easier to style, holds its shape better and photographs beautifully.

Whether you’re wearing your hair up, down, curled, sleek or accessorised, a good preparation routine can make a big difference.

Things to think about before your wedding

• Your chosen hairstyle
• Hair length and condition
• Whether you need colour or highlights refreshed
• Veils, clips, tiaras or other accessories
• How your hairstyle works with your dress and neckline
• Weather and humidity
• How long the style needs to last

What can help

Keep your hair routine consistent in the weeks leading up to your wedding. Use a shampoo and conditioner suited to your hair type and add a nourishing treatment if your hair feels dry.

Avoid making dramatic colour changes or trying unfamiliar treatments immediately before the wedding.

If you’re working with a stylist, book a trial so you can test your chosen style, accessories and overall look before the day.

Simple bridal hair preparation

• Keep hair well-conditioned
• Have regular trims before the wedding
• Plan colour appointments in advance
• Use heat protection when styling
• Bring inspiration photos to your trial
• Test your veil and accessories with the hairstyle
• Avoid experimenting with new products just before the wedding
• Follow your stylist’s washing instructions before the wedding day

Professional tip

Your wedding hair should still feel like you. Choose a style that makes you feel comfortable, confident and beautiful rather than following a trend that doesn’t suit your usual look.
