Bride Hairdresser: Tips, Tricks and Strategies.

Tips:

• Start by washing and conditioning the bride's hair to ensure it's clean and ready for styling.
• Use high-quality hair products to achieve the best results.
• Consider the bride's face shape, dress style, and wedding theme when choosing a hairstyle.
• Practice different hairstyles before the wedding day to ensure you can recreate them quickly and efficiently.
• Don't be afraid to use hair accessories such as veils, tiaras, or flowers to enhance the bride's look.
• Work in sections and use clips to keep the hair organized while you style.
• Use heat protectant products before using heated styling tools to prevent damage to the hair.
• Experiment with different techniques like curling, braiding, or updos to create unique and beautiful hairstyles.

Tricks:

• Create texture and volume by teasing the hair at the roots.
• Use bobby pins and hairspray to secure the hairstyle in place and ensure it lasts throughout the day.
• Add shine to the hair by using a serum or shine spray.
• If the bride has thin hair, consider using hair extensions to add thickness and length to the hairstyle.
• To achieve a smooth and sleek look, use a flat iron to straighten the hair before styling.
• For a romantic and soft look, incorporate loose curls or waves into the hairstyle.
• When creating an updo, backcomb the hair slightly at the crown to add volume and dimension.
• Spritz hairspray onto a toothbrush and use it to tame flyaways and baby hairs.

Strategies:

• Communicate with the bride to understand her vision and preferences for her hairstyle.
• Schedule a hair trial before the wedding day to finalize the chosen hairstyle and make any necessary adjustments.
• Arrive early on the wedding day to set up your tools and ensure you have enough time to style the bride's hair.
• Work efficiently and systematically, starting with the bride's desired hairstyle and then moving on to any additional styling or touch-ups.
• Coordinate with the makeup artist and other members of the bridal party to ensure a cohesive look.
• Bring extra hairpins, elastics, and other accessories in case they are needed during the styling process.
• Stay calm and focused, even if there are time constraints or unexpected challenges.
• Have a backup plan in case the bride changes her mind about the hairstyle or encounters any issues with her hair.
