What to do with my hair?

Orchids, on January 15, 2018 at 7:36 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12

I almost never do anything with my hair. I throw it in a ponytail before leaving the house and that's about it. It's been about 18 months since my last haircut because I just....don't....care all that much...if it's clean and out of the way that's good enough for me!

Soooo I have a HMU trial coming up and I want to have a few inspiration pics to bring with me and I have NO idea where to even start. I've been browsing pinterest off and on for awhile, and I just feel overwhelmed.

Possibly important info: My hair is really thick and heavy. It's a grown-out undercut at the moment so it's 6" shorter on the left. The headband was my FMIL's wedding headpiece and it's non-negotiable. I need a sturdy style that will stand up to 3 hours of sailing and wind.

I'm up for having it cut however short I need to pull off whatever style I wind up with.

Suggestions? I'll put some of the pics I've saved into the comments...

    I think your hair would look really nice with wavy curls. I would also have it cut so that it frames your face more. You could also have it sideswept to avoid wind and flattening issues.

    Not sure why I have to title this photo...What to do with my hair? 2

    Wasn’t easily able to look at the links. I’m a pony tail girl as well. Would suggest some sort of updo so that it’s not driving you nuts. My hair doesn’t usually hold style but stayed in place all night. Your HMU should be able to make it stay. From my trial. I made sure after my trial I did a lot to see the holding power (went for a fitting, did a bunch of driving, etc)

    I would definitely go with an updo so that you feel like yourself on your wedding day. The side waves PP posted looks beautiful with a headband and I think would look great for you. Also talk to your hair stylist, she should be able to give you some advice.

    I like the sideswept look a lot, and I dearly wish I had her gorgeous red hair...maybe then I'd dress it up more often!

    This looks like it might be my best bet, do you mind if I share your photo with my HMUA?

    There was just someone who got married on here and had a really pretty floral crown but not a full crown and her hair was great. I'll try to find it. Love the FMIL headband Smiley smile

    Not at all. I have bangs and longer layers so she did a side sweep with them day off. Here is side view. The comb for my veil was able to fit right above very easily if you are incorporating one with your crown.

    If your going to be sailing and in the wind, a gorgeous updo would definitely suit you. maybe something like this with that gorgeous headpiece and maybe a veil?

    I'd ask the stylist soon if you should get an even cut before she tries to start styling it. And maybe start using a good conditioner on your hair so it will be its healthiest and easiest to work with.

    Nice you have some length, which lends itself to several different styles.
