Tuesday Tips - Wedding Hair

So I know this post will help some ladies...

When I was talking to my stylist, she mentioned that an updo would probably work out best for the wedding...she said she has had so many clients mad at the end of the night when they have sweated their hair out.

So my question to you ladies is, what will you be doing with your hair?

I am REALLY having a hrd time trying to find some styles that I like...and arent too big and buff...(I am leaning towards an updo because I ALWAYS wear my hair down...so I think something different will work)...
















If anyone is interested, check out this website...its where I got all the hairstyles from...

    I really would love to wear my hair down, but you are right...Once the dancing starts I DEFINITELY don't want a big poof on my head...

    The woman I am going to book for my hair has this on her Facebook page, it's pretty cool.  It's not the one I'm looking to get, but I thought it was gorgeous and someone here may like it.

    At first I was adamant on an half up half down. However, after speaking with my the stylist, he suggested its best to have it all up for the wedding since its July and outside. I will more than likely to do lacefront like the one Tyra has below.  That way I can just let it down during the honeymoon and not worry to much about it.

    I'm at a lost for what I'm going to do....Everyone seems to want to see my hair down, but I don't know if that's the best move for me.  Plus, Arkansas is still freaking hot in September.  Undecided

    I NEVER wear my hair up and FI already told me he would prefer for my hair to be down.  Plus, my ceremony and reception will be inside where air conditioning is available so I can't imagine sweating out my hair.

    I want to do the side sweep curls.  A previous knottie had her hair like that and I loved it! Her pic is below

    Well, my hair is cut into a short bob. I'm thinking of wearing it like Malinda Williams " Bird from Soul Food" on her wedding, with the flower in my hair as well.

    I want to do a half up half down hairstyle with loose spiral curls.  I always wear my hair up and a co-worker of mine suggested that I wear it in that style because I rarely wear it down.  I am a bit worried about what it will look like at the end of the evening because my hair is natural.  I plan on scheduling appointments with hair stylists to try out different styles.  So, who knows.

    Thanks for posting! The wedding's in Jamaica in June and I'm wanting a side ponytail but I'm not so sure if it'll hold up! I don't think I have to do much dancing for my hair to mess up... I'm thinking of a side bun style.
