FI - Hair Request for Wedding?

So, I had it planned in my head... For my wedding I'd have a 14' weave with long loose curls.  Very sweet, not too fussy, just clean, classy beauty.....

FI says "Babe you can do your hair how every you want, but, I really like it when you have your hair out natural (that is not natural meaning no perm ladies, it means no weave) and just do the culy thing you do.  I think thats when you look the prettiest"

Now WHAT??
That style is  A HECK of alot cheaper but, it it special enough for my wedding day?  What would you do?



Thats the hairstyle he is talking about...

  • GIRRLLLL....telll me about it! This is why I'm struggling now. FI wants just the "everyday look". But this isn't just a normal day! Now from the pic I honestly think your own hair will look really nice. I would take his feelings into consideration but in the end...you know what will really look best with the whole ensemble.

  • Maybe I could compromise and just add a few tracks in the back for length... but, Im not sure if it will blend how i want, the weave hair wont curl the same way mine does....

  •  I would really like my hair to look like this and with this kind of hair piece....

  • FI doesn't want like a full weave....BUT to get the style I want, I will have to add hair so I'm gonna do clip ins. I have a short, layered bob and and the longest layer is a little past my ear lobe.

  • In all honesty, I think it will work. With a veil (if you're wearing one) or hair comb, it will look special. Also added to that you will be all dolled up with make up. So it will look special.

    <div>Also google around for pics of styles with your hair length, maybe you will find something similar but different. You could take those pics to your stylist and see what she comes up with. </div>

  • I'm sorry, I thought you were asking us, what did FI want our hair like on the wedding day!! LOL! I went back and read the post like " I didn't even answer her question" ( that's what I get for doing 2 things at once) Sooo, I agree with Ro totally.....a veil or hair accessory will make it really pop, I love simple do's with lots of body! It looks great on you!

  • btw, i think your hair would be fine happy, all you need is a pretty head piece!

  • Thats more what I had in mind

  • ok i see the first two but not the last one and your hair is pretty just the way it is...

  • are both of these posts pictures of you?  girl based on the first one, I would not have picked the second one out of a line up.    okay, 2nd one, do you have pieces there? 

    see I think your *unaltered* <-- how bout that?  hair is beautiful.  end of sentence.  I also think 2 specific things about hair and brides:   a) a wedding day is in part about the full magilla of how you want to look, whatever that means to you and b) it's because you can do anything you want to hair that's not  yours it holds up better.   a FULL can of aqua net on my hair and at the end of busy day looks like press ham.    that same can on hair in a bag?  looks like this
    <------------------

    people will be hugging your neck for 5 hours.   just something to consider.


  • yes sultry all above pics are me...lol  the long hair one is actually a wig.  As much as he says he likes me without the "hair accesory" as my lil cuz calls them... when he came to pick me up the day I had the "accessory" on I remember his response was "wow, i did alright for myself"  (his cute way of saying I look good)

  • SULTRY STOP IT!!

    Meredith I like your hair in all the pics! I would probably do an updo with curls falling down in the back for the reception since people are going to be hugging you

  • @Sultry... That is another thing I am worried about.... that my natural hair will not hold up.  by the first dance that would be a wash,set & flop....

  • Maybe if you add some tracks for volume not length he might not even know the difference.
