Ask Beauty Editor Lauren
I’m getting married soon and I don’t know what to do with my hair. I always wear it down, but everyone keeps telling me to put it up. Help! Sophie, Cardiff
I used to live with a bridal hairdresser and this was something she was always asked.
Her advice? Wear your hair how you want to, not how your mother-in-law/sister/maid of honour wants you to.
You will be the one looking back at the photos, and you need to look and feel like yourself.
However, there are a few things you should take into consideration.
Weddings days are long, and your hair will probably be one of the first things you have done – so it needs to hold up for at least 12 hours.
Book a trial first thing in the morning and then plan a packed day, ideally with a night out, to see if you’re happy with the style as it moves.
It’s also best to make sure that the front is pushed off your face or pinned back, as you don’t want any big-moment photos ruined by a rogue strand!
