hmm this is tough. you may think it looks nasty but i'm sure she likes the way it looks especially if she changes it all the time. you only have the right to tell her how to do her hair if you're going to pay for it. is this something you're willing to do? i would ask her casually how she will be doing her hair. and work with her to come up with something you guys both like. i don't think dictating that she needs a more natural looking hair piece is the way to go. if you guys can go together to buy a new one that would be good. so she feels involved in the decision and it's not just you telling her what to do.

Suggest that all your girls have a hair style that is hard to mess up like a bun or updo.

I don't think you can dictate what your friend does with her hair. Maybe you should not have asked her to be in your wedding if her hair looks so "nasty."

I would let her be. Personal appearances are something we're all very sensitive about, and there's just no way to say, "Hey friend, you know how you love your hair? Well, I think it's horrible, and I can't stand for that in my pictures." You cannot ask her to change who she is because she doesn't fit your vision. Friends don't treat each other like that.

If she shows up looking ridiculous, fine. She'll look ridiculous, not you.

i see what you mean, and after reading your thoughts it does sound harsh, but i just want her to look her best because she is beautiful.

I'm glad to hear that!

Maybe the solution is to offer to pay to have everyone's hair professionally done. You can advise the stylist of the sensitive situation, and she should be able to handle it. her help might even clue your friend into how to work better with her hair.

If, however, your friend declines the invite to have her hair done, there's not much you can do but let her do her own thing.

IF she changes her hair a lot, between styles, and there is one you DO like, can you say to her- "I really love your hair like that-would you wear it that way for my wedding? Whenever I think of you, it's with this style of hair, and I'd love to have it look this way for my photos, you're so pretty!"

Or something along those lines. If you NEVER like her hair, then I agree w/Opal- pay to get all the girls hair done professionally, find a stylist who is used to doing weaves and whatnot to be sure that when the stylist arrives she won't know what to do either!

PP has a great point. Wait till she wears her hair in a way you like then compliment her and recommend she wears it that way for the wedding.

I would just ask her how she's planning on wearing her hair for the wedding and just not worry about discussing the real/fake thing and if you don't like what she's planning, ask if she would mind wearing her hair in whatever way you're looking for, and if she will great, if not-- well there's not much you can do.
