Stillagirl Beauty Advice

Every girl dreams of her wedding. The gown. The groom. The dancing. The toasts.

What about your best girlfriends? Your maid of honor and bridesmaids truly add something special to the day. After all, you couldn’t have gotten to this point without them! So make sure that you plan for their role in your big day. By giving a little thought to the makeup, hair and accessories, you’ll eliminate any wedding day drama over bridesmaid hair or some other detail.

Now, I’m not saying that your girlfriends have anything but the best of taste. After all, they chose you for a friend, right? And you chose each woman as a bridesmaid. Hair and makeup ideas can differ greatly however, even among the best of friends. So if you don’t want Karen to show up with frizzy hair, or Anne to go overboard on the blue eye shadow, you’d better have a plan.

A good start for ideas would be beauty reviews. There is a lot of advice and information in beauty reviews to help you find a great hairstyle that works for all your bridesmaids. The key to good bridesmaid hair is simple if you remember 3 key points in your planning:

1. Locate a stylist or settle on a hairstyle well in advance

2. Practice a few times before the big event

3. Know what products and tools you’ll need to have on hand

Despite differences in hair length, an updo is an elegant style for anyone with long enough hair.

A good choice is the classic French braid.

Here’s how to put your hair (or any bridesmaid hair) in a French braid:

1. Start at the top of the forehead with a single strand in the middle and one of equal width on each side. Don’t make the side ones too large since you’ll add as you go.

2. Gradually introduce hair from each side into the braid.

3. Keep pulling hair taut as you go, tuck in any strays.

Finishing off the braid for a smooth look involves choosing a great hair spray. Without hairspray you will find that stray hairs tend to pull out and the look can become messy. A good hairspray to use is Frederic Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray. It will work great for any hair type and help keep hair in place all day long. It’s the little things like this that will make your big day great.
