How To Beat The Wedding Hair Style Blues
Sep 2nd, 2008 by Eran Malloch
Are you having trouble choosing the right wedding hair style? If so, then you’re not alone. Many women have difficulty deciding on a style for their wedding.
That’s because the right wedding hairstyle does more than just look good. It also needs to be a style that you’re comfortable in all day, no matter where you’re getting married. It shouldn’t cost too much, either. Here are some hints to assist you in getting the right style.
First, get start early by collecting photos of styles you like. That’ll allow you to easily figure out the styles you like and the ones you don’t.
Of course, when you pick out these pictures, you’ll want to be realistic. Don’t count on a drastic change in color or length right before the wedding. Instead, do these early, or look at styles that are meant for about the same color, cut, and type of hair you have already.
One important part of picking out the right style is knowing your face shape. Some faces work well with certain styles and don’t do as well with others. The best way to determine your face shape is analyzing it in a mirror.
If just looking doesn’t help, measure your cheekbones, jaw line, and forehead widths, as well as the length of your face. If you’re having trouble taking measurements, trace your face on a mirror.
If you have a forehead and jaw line that are narrower than your cheekbones, but about the same width, your face is the ideal egg shape. That means you can wear almost any wedding hairstyle you choose.
Round faces are about as long as they are wide, and should wear styles that make them look longer. Try a longer style cut below chin length or short styles cut above the chin. Don’t wear a short style that’s very curly or a long one that’s pulled back tightly, however.
Heart shaped faces are wide at the forehead, but narrow at the jaw. To counteract a very tapered jaw, consider a chin length bob with curls to balance it. Slicked back styles and styles with fullness at the forehead may not work well for you.
Faces that are all the same width and have a similar length measurement are square. Think about a wedding hairstyle that’s soft and layered, or wear longer hair that comes past your shoulders. Side swept fringes are flattering, but geometric cuts aren’t.
When choosing your wedding hairstyle, be sure to think about your level of comfort. Wear a style that works with the place and style of your wedding, and remember to think about what makes you feel best. If you don’t like tight updos or trailing locks, don’t wear them to your wedding.
You’ll be wearing your wedding hairstyle for hours, so it’s important to be comfortable in it. If you can, spend some time before the wedding getting used to the style, so you’ll look and feel your best.
