Updo’s not your style?
Check out these expert tips
for rocking flowing locks
on your big day
By Anna Sachse, CTW Features
A down or half-down look has a romantic feel, but it also imparts an
easy, natural vibe.
On any given day most women tend to wear their hair down, so it
makes sense that on their wedding day they would like to look like a
perfect version of their normal self.
PRACTICAL MATTERS
If you plan on having an outdoor wedding during the summer, keep in
mind that humidity can quickly turn your sleek style flat or frizzy, and
breezes can wreak havoc during pictures.
But regardless of the season or venue, unless your hair is very naturally
curly, any hair worn down or mostly down will “fall” (i.e. get a little
limp) to some extent as the night progresses and you hit the dance
floor.
Therefore, these styles are best on a bride who has some natural texture
to her hair, whose hair will hold a curl fairly well, and whose hair is not
too fine or thin. Ask for hair extensions if you need a little extra volume
or length.
COMPLETE THE LOOK
If you know you want to wear your hair down, focus on strapless
designs when gown shopping, because your long locks won’t end up
obstructing any gorgeous details on the dress.
