I have straight hair. Thick, fine, long straight hair that doesn’t hold a curl for more than ten minutes. Oh, also I twirl my hair so if there are any stray pieces on my wedding day they will end up being long, straight, strings hanging from my head – boy, doesn’t that sound attractive! And to make matters worse, I have never successfully had my hair “done” by a professional – they always underestimate the amount of hair/type of hair I have and it ends up looking a hot mess.
I could tell this was going to be a major task for the poor soul I hired to do my hair for my wedding. So, I decided not to rely on a person at a salon up in Cashiers who would only see me the day of – I needed a practice run, and as it turns out, I needed several practice runs. I talked to my regular hair stylist who has been cutting my hair for the last five years and thus understands my issues, but she doesn’t really do “up ‘dos”… Luckily, she has a friend whose bread and butter was in wedding hair and I contacted her immediately.
Our first trial went badly. Very badly. She spent probably two hours curling, teasing, pinning, etc. to no avail. I left with no ‘do and pretty soft curls that were straight by the time I got home – Brian said “I thought you were going to get your hair done?” when I got home… Fortunately she was not discouraged, in fact she was even more motivated to conquer my hair and make sure it was what I wanted on my wedding day. We scheduled another time to meet up for a trial and this time… SUCCESS! Here are the pictures of the ‘d0:
Initially, I wanted something a little neater, but I that this is different and unique, but still simple. What do you guys think? How did you decide or how are you deciding about your big day hair? Any road blocks or has it been smooth sailing?
I’m also planning to put something in my hair (where the obvious pins are in the first picture), but I think I’ll save that one for another time…
That’s pretty!! Alas I’m still in one big hairy mess when it comes to my hair. I’m hesitant to be a short hair bride, but am afraid that my hair won’t grow out long enough for my May wedding. I’ve got rather fine stubborn Asian black hair that’s flat on the crown, coupled with a really high forehead which often leaves me looking like I’ve got a comb-over. (Not too attractive I know.)
Anyways, ’nuff about me. I’m glad you got the ‘do that you’re happy with!

I have the same problem! I have a lot of hair and this ‘lion’s hair’ of mine is also stubbornly straight and heavy. I’ve been told by a hairdresser that my hair is ‘too healthy’ and that by damaging it the hair would be easier to handle! My initial dream was to have my hair open during my wedding day, in soft, big curls -and as a dream that will stay. All attempts to make lasting curls have ended in disaster so I’ll have my hair done up for the day.
Your hair looks beautiful! That is very similar to how I see my hair done too.
It looks wonderful. You have such shiny hair.
