African American/Black Brides: What are you doing with your hair?

Nora, on October 16, 2017 at 3:31 PM

Posted in Wedding Attire 78

Just curious as to what you plan to do (or what you did) with your hair! I'm natural and I'm looking into styles that have my hair out (FH loves it big) but I'm curious to hear what you all did, whether your hair is natural, relaxed, or if you had a wig, weave, crochet braids, extensions...anything!...

    Mine will be put into a bun with a braid across it.

    I did crochet twists. I loved them, but it was the first time I used the crochet technique so I didn't realize how heavy it would feel. I ended up taking them out the second day of my honeymoon, and just rocked my fro. They were a pain to go swimming in, it felt like the hair near my scalp would never fully dry.

    My hair is natural and I'm a bit undecided as well on what to do. For my engagement shoot, my hair was flat ironed and then curled. The humidity totally killed my hair, so I'm thinking I should do an updo for my summer wedding. I'm digging a sleek low bun, or a twisty updo with my natural texture, like Natural Chica's wedding hair.

    I'm natural as well. I'm going with something similar to this.

    My hair is natural and I'm doing a sew in with a closure. I just ordered the hair yesterday and booked my appointment. I thought about rocking my natural curls but we're getting married by the water so I'm sure the humidity would cause issues

    I like the idea of something like this minus the flowers.

    I'm torn between a wig and a sew in. I want long and big curls. So I'm probably going to do a Long and straight and then curl it with big rollers so I can flatten it again for the honeymoon

    @MrsBtoBe, If I go with the low bun, a comb with veil attached at the top is probably the best option.

    Outside of buns, I'm not sure how a traditional veil would look. But there will always be birdcage veils, combs, headbands, and clips to help glam up a look.

    I am natural but will probably have to do extensions or sew in because I have fine hair and want a style like this

    I'm going to get a sew-in, and probably have it to swept to the side with curls.

    My hair is natural and I usually wear it in braids. For the wedding I am wearing a full head sew in weave. I cannot mess with shrinkage that day. Hair purchased from Mayvenn.com. I'll just starting to play with it.

    ETA: I plan to have it down for the ceremony and in a bun for the reception. Cannot have all that hair on my neck while I'm dancing
