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!...

    I'm thinking of wearing kinky curly extensions in a middle part. Not doing a veil but I'll do a rhinestone headpiece. My FH loves natural hair so even if it gets frizzy in Vegas weather it won't be my hair I have to worry about bc it'll already be kinky and I won't be fixing it all day or worrying about sweating out my leaveout bc it'll blend seamlessly

    I keep my hair short and natural. Since we're having a beach wedding, I'm going with something like this...

    I plan on doing something like this with clip ins that match my coily texture (4c if you go by the chart) or maybe I will have the back down but the front in a halo braid or twist.

    I will have a drop veil and I leave for my honeymoon the next day so I need a double duty style.

    @ameretta same here! These are awesome styles.

    @MrsBtoBe I think I might forgo the veil for maybe a beaded crown or halo to accommodate for my hair (or do a scattering of baby's breathe like solange)

    I'm natural, but I used clip in extensions.

    From the side. I think she did a great job based on my inspiration pics.

    @ashleyS. I totally understand. If I let it, my hair will shrink up more on the sides.

    I'm trying to practice now to see how a curly fro will look on my head, as I always keep my hair stretched in flat twists or chunky twists. Plus it's longer than Solange's in that pic so it'll hang more.

    Something like this but a little more curl heavy. I don't usually wear extensions but I currently have a short Bob.

    I had my natural hair straightened and curled in a side swept style the day of. Worked wonderfully - my hairdresser came and did it and killed it. This is from my trial...

    Im also natural and i plan on buying natural looking extensions( They're super expensive) just to give my hair more volume and do a one sided swoop kind of style while keeping it big with a really cute hair comb

    My hair is natural and am thinking something like this if my hair texture ever comes back. I got a new flat iron in the spring and it straightened my hair so well, it won't go back.
