Curly Hair Help for Older Bride

JackieD, on August 22, 2018 at 3:16 PM

Posted in Hair and Makeup 24

I'm getting married on 10/27/18 and still haven't figured out what to do with my hair. I'm an older bride (53 years old) and this is my second marriage. My hair is curly with tons of frizz. It's also fine. It's a little past my chin when it's curly and past my shoulders when it's blow dried...

I'm getting married on 10/27/18 and still haven't figured out what to do with my hair. I'm an older bride (53 years old) and this is my second marriage. My hair is curly with tons of frizz. It's also fine. It's a little past my chin when it's curly and past my shoulders when it's blow dried straight. It's got lots of layers. I don't want to do an updo because I don't like they way they look on me. I do like my hair curly but it curls in all different directions and if the wind blows hard I end up with frizz. Our wedding will be in a barn with no heat or AC to dry the air out. If we end up with a humid day (which it often is where I live) and I straighten it, I'll end up with pouf and frizz so I've decided leave it curly because it usually frizzes less that way. I'm thinking about buying extensions to get it a little longer. I won't be wearing a veil but I'm thinking of something in my hair... a comb, flowers... I don't know what yet. I'm worried that if the stylists straightens my hair and then curls it in a uniform way the curls won't last and will get puffy. As you can see, I need help! LOL I'm ready to wear a wig... seriously... just so I don't keep stressing about it. Any advice would be appreciated. I've attached some pics of my hair and me in my dress. Thanks!!!

    Thank you! You are really so kind. It's true we always want what we don't have... I would love straight hair. LOL I ordered some headbands and combs from Etsy last night so I'm looking forward to trying them on. If they don't work I think I will try one of the craft stores or Claire's. I looked at David's Bridal and they are so expensive for headpieces. I already spent a ton on the dress so I've got to keep the hair accessory at a lower budget.
