58 The Queens Courier • QUENS CUTS • AUGUST 18, 2016 for breaking news visit www.qns.com Your Wedding Do By Tresa Erickson The big day is approaching fast. In a couple of months, you'll be getting married. You've been planning for it for months and you've got everything in order-the church, the reception hall, the music, the flowers, the dress, the shoes-but what about your hair? Do you know how you're going to wear it on your wedding day? If not, now's the time to decide. Before you dash out and pick up some hairstyle magazines, take a look at your hair's condition. What kind of shape is it in? Is it silky and shiny or dull and dry? How is the color holding up? No matter how great of a style you choose, if your hair is in bad shape, you're not going to look your best. Set up an appointment with a stylist and ask them to look at the condition of your hair. Follow any recommendations QUEENS CUTS they have for improving it. Once your hair is healthy, you can move to the next step, selecting a hairstyle for your wedding day. Start by thinking about how you'd like to wear your hair. Traditionally, brides wear their hair up, but today many are choosing to wear their hair down. If you have medium to long hair, you may pull it back into a bun, a chignon or a braid or wear it long and curly or sleek and straight. If you have short hair, you may wear it curly, wavy or sweep it back with bows, clips or combs. Now that you have an idea of how you'd like to wear your hair, grab some hairstyle magazines, flip to the bridal section and start looking. Keep your veil in mind as you browse through the pages. If your veil is intricate, you may want to choose a simple hairstyle that won't compete with it, whereas if your veil is simple, you may opt for a more sophisticated hairstyle that will show it off. Avoid choosing a style that will require radical changes. Perming or dyeing your hair right before your wedding will not only make your guests do a double-take but could pose other styling problems. Your hair may not take to the perm, while the makeup you planned to wear as a brunette may clash with your new blonde tresses. Try to select a style that will require subtle changes and accentuate your features and attire. Once you find a hairstyle that you like, clip out pictures of it and make another appointment with your stylist for a "run-through" three to four weeks before your wedding. Don't forget to bring your clippings, veil and any other hair accessories you plan to wear. If you would like to experiment with a certain cut or color, now's the time to do it. That way, your stylist will have enough time to make any necessary adjustments. If your highlights don't quite turn out the way you'd like them, for example, your stylist will have the chance to redo them. Be honest with your stylist about the results. If you don't like something about your hairstyle, say so. Don't bring it up the day of your wedding and expect them to fix it then. Chances are they'll have other clients and won't have the time. Once you're satisfied with your hairstyle, take photos of it so your stylist can duplicate it more easily on your wedding day. Avoid the pitfalls of a bad hair day. Plan ahead for your wedding do. Choose a style that will accentuate your features and complement your attire and give your stylist the chance to do a run-through.
