On the most important day, a girl wants to look irresistible and flawless. The final and integral element of a successful look is the hairstyle.

What is a wedding hairstyle?

This is the most delicate, unique and incredibly beautiful image that the bride came up with for herself. Working with a bride is a very responsible job and every stylist is worried, because the stylist is trying to embody a holistic image, where everything should be harmoniously combined. One of the most important characteristics of a successful wedding hairstyle is durability - it must withstand all the emotions and trials of this exciting day. It's always a pleasure to receive positive feedback about your work. An example from personal experience: after the celebration, the bride flew off on a honeymoon to the sea, and at the same time her hair did not get wet in the water and held tightly, while looking natural and natural. It is to achieve this result that there are secrets to a long-lasting wedding hairstyle, which, if followed, preserve the delicacy of all lines, and the curls and styling do not lose their shape. As practice shows, the most reliable hairstyle hides secrets in its “foundation”. This is the one that is based on the tail and bobby pins. However, there are tricks that will help any hairstyle last a long time.

Clean head

I believe that hairdressers do not respect themselves if they advise brides to use outdated methods of working with hair. Once upon a time, such hairstyles were not done on a “fresh” head. It was necessary not to wash my hair for several days before the styling procedure. Now it's funny and ridiculous. Therefore, the first and most important thing is to thoroughly wash your hair, with the obligatory application of a mask, conditioner or lotion that nourishes the hair (but must be washed off). After this, the hair does not become electrified and becomes very elastic and lends itself well to curling/styling.

Hair pre-treatment

If the bride’s hair is heavy and thick, then it is advisable to treat it with light-hold hairspray. To do this, you need to divide the entire mass of hair into layers and work on each tier separately with aerosol varnish. Then wait a little, letting it dry, and then comb it out. If the hair is thin and not very thick, then it should be treated in the same way. Here the effect is slightly different: the hair will become soft and airy, because the shaft will be covered with a film of varnish. This will make the master’s work easier; he will be able to create good volume with a small amount of hair without difficulty.

What about volume?

Today, there are various convenient powders for maintaining volume, which can be used not only on the root zone of the head, but also along the length of the hair. The powder coats the hair well and creates the effect of a light film of talc.

Fixation

After curling with a thermal device, the hair must be fixed with a dry varnish of medium hold. This is no longer an aerosol varnish, but a varnish that is sprayed under pressure. It must be used from a minimum distance of 30 cm from the hair. Only in this case, the product, upon reaching the hair, is already dry and does not leave behind drops of moisture. The result is an airy effect. The master applies the varnish first to one strand, then takes another, sprays it too, and this varnish also ends up on the first, already treated strand. Thus, the varnish is applied in layers. Therefore, such fixation is very dense and does not leave lumps. It is recommended to fix the final version of the hairstyle with finely dispersed aerosol varnish (also called wet) in order to avoid the appearance of small droplets on the hair.

Secrets

The secret is to apply the varnish along with the glitter. Masters use it to easily work on the alignment and shaping of hairstyle lines. The hair becomes elastic, manageable and does not stick to your hands. First, fix with varnish, and then apply a small amount of gloss, then comb through the hair. They will become perfectly smooth and shiny and easy to style. Important! The glitter interacts with the varnish, but it must be applied afterwards. If you apply shine to unsprayed hair, the hair will absorb the shine and the curls will sag in unsightly, greasy strands. Subsequently, an easy hairstyle was like never before. Reapplying polish after polishing has its benefits. Because this mixture does not harden so quickly and we have time to work with the hair to style it. Expert opinion: It is worth noting that most brides have recently been choosing simple hairstyles for half-down hair. In my opinion, a girl can show off her loose curls every day. But a complex, beautiful and aesthetically designed hairstyle in the form of guipure or openwork will help you look solemn at a wedding. After all, hair is like threads from which you can make very interesting compositions. The material was first published in the Fashion Mirror magazine.
