Choosing the Right Hairstyle & Hair Color Changes Before Your Big Day
Hair plays a huge role in how you feel and look on your wedding day. Whether you’re thinking of going lighter, trying extensions, or finalizing your bridal hairstyle, timing and planning are key. Here's how to make confident hair choices that align with your bridal vision.
1. Don’t Make Major Hair Color Changes Too Close to the Wedding
If you want to change your hair color—whether it’s subtle highlights or a full transformation—do it at least 3–4 months before your wedding. This gives you time to adjust, correct (if needed), and let the color settle into a more natural look.
If you’re going lighter, you might need multiple sessions to maintain hair health. Avoid drastic color changes less than 6 weeks out—your photos and peace of mind will thank you.
2. Match Your Hair Style to Your Dress, Venue, and Vibe
Your bridal hairstyle should complement your dress’s neckline, the overall wedding style, and your personal comfort level. Ask yourself:
Is your dress structured or flowy?
Are you getting married outdoors or indoors?
Do you want to wear your hair up, down, or half-up?
Pro Tip: Bring inspiration photos to your trial, and don’t forget to test the look with accessories like your veil or hairpieces.
3. Trial Everything—Especially Extensions
Thinking of adding clip-ins, tape-ins, or a halo? Schedule a hair trial to test them with your desired style. Not all extensions behave the same, and a trial ensures everything blends naturally with your texture, color, and volume goals.
Final Thoughts
Your bridal hair should reflect your personal style while also staying practical for your venue, climate, and dress. The earlier you plan, the more confident you'll feel walking down the aisle. Ready to finalize your full bridal glam? Let’s make it all come together—flawlessly.
