Brides Often Ask

How can I make my straight hair look nice for a wedding?

In preparation for a wedding, maintain healthy straight hair by using mild shampoos that do not contain Sodium Laureth Sulphate. Keep tangles far away with a moisturizing conditioner if you have dry hair. But if you have oily hair, use a regular conditioner everywhere except your scalp. Don’t over-manipulate your hair or subject it to an extended head to avoid killing your protein or pulling out your hair. Lastly, guard against static on straight hair in the winter, trim split ends, and eat right.

How do you add volume to straight hair?

Volumize your straight hair by adding volumizing spray to the lifted roots and blow-drying. You can also thicken individual strands by using some volumizing serum or switch your parting to the opposite side. Excessive parting on one side would cause flattening. But when you raise it to the other side, it gains volume. Another sure way to volumize is by infusing curls and waves into your hairdo. Turn down the heat you use on your hair tease with brushes, get a volumizing haircut, or work with strategic coloring.

Which wedding hairstyle is better to choose for straight hair?

When choosing straight hairstyles for a wedding, the length and texture are very important. For shorter straight hair brides, slick back your hair and adorn it with a tiara or tousle it with some gem berets hanging down the side. Long and medium straight hair brides can work with more styles like simple half-ups, updos, and accessorized styles. In the case of fine hair, think about adding a pad, extensions, or filler to give some more volume. Also, sleek updos are the best for fine hair.
