These tips are for brides, bridesmaids, and wedding guest. For each tip I will share the do's and the don'ts of wedding hair prep.
Tip # 1 - Get A Trim
Get a trim 6 to 8 weeks prior to the wedding to get rid of slip ends. If you plan on wearing your hair up make sure to leave some length. For an updo you want your hair to be long enough to touch your shoulders.
Tip # 2 - Use A Weekly Hair Mask
Everyone should use a hair mask once a week to keep their hair healthy and manageable. A good hairstyle will look even better with healthy hair. So if you aren't using one, now is the time to start. Not sure which hair mask is best for your hair? Read Which Hair Mask Is Best For My Hair?
Tip # 3 - Refresh Your Hair Color
Refresh your hair color 1 to 2 weeks prior to the wedding. If you plan on changing your hair color get it done a month before just in case you need to make adjustments to the new color. I don't recommend doing a drastic change before a wedding. Many photos will be taken so you want to make sure you have a hair color that you love.

Tip # 5 - Clean Hair
Come to your hair appointment with clean dry hair. Don't have your hair in braids or a messy bun, that will make your hair kinky and harder to style. If you have curly hair wash your hair first thing in the morning the day of. If you are wearing your curls, set after washing and air dry. Diffuse once you are closer to your appointment time. If you want to smooth out your curls brush and smooth out as much as you can while blow drying. Depending on time your hairstylist could have you come to your appointment with wet hair and blowout your hair. This can vary depending on the style you want and the amount of time the hairstylist has. Talk to your hairstylist ahead of time to see what will work best.
Tip # 6 - Wear The Right Top
When you go to get your hair done you need to wear a top that you don't need to pull over your head to take off. For example a tan top or a button up. Wearing a top that needs to be pulled over your head to take off could ruin your hairstyle.
