1. Take your wedding dress, weather of the wedding day, length of your hair, volume of your hair, hair texture, hair color and even veil into consideration to choose the hairstyle right for you
What about half up-half down hairstyle on the big day? Or braids and buns if you got thick hair with hair extensions? Interested in elegant updo hairstyle which is simple but can be fancied up for a wedding? Argument about the choice of the wedding hairstyle never ends! Facing that many options, you might be confused or these may drive you crazy, just calm down and think about the following factors ahead:
Style of your wedding dress
Your wedding hairstyle shouldn’t steal the limelight of your wedding dress. In other words, your dress and wedding hairstyle should not be a competitive relationship. Given that your dress is plain, it is advisable for you to pick a fascinating hairstyle to make up for your dress. If your dress is gaudery, full of decorations, then try to find a simple but smart hairstyle. If your dress is a open-back design, you may choose to wear the ponytail or braid. Reasonably coordinate your dress and hairstyle to achieve a best look.
Weather on the wedding day
The weather will surely have effect on the choice of your wedding hairstyle if your wedding is held outdoors, whereas it won’t affect your hair when your wedding is held indoors and you can absolutely make your hairstyle whatever you want. However, when the weather of your wedding day is humid or hot, for example, it is best to steer clear of the cascading curls and to choose the updo hairstyle, because it can be really annoying when your curls adhere to your back. Compared with your natural hair, the hair extensions are less affected by the weather condition, which gives you possibilities to apply hair extensions on your hair to make your hair gorgeous curls even in that weather conditions.
eatures of your hair，short? Long? Voluminous?
A superb collection of beautiful hairstyles can be found everywhere online. Having viewed lots of hairstyles, you may be fascinated by a long hairstyle, whereas your hair length and hair volume don’t allow you to wear such a hairstyle which is only suitable for long hair, so you have no choice but to find short hairstyles. However, hair extensions can help you slip the leash to do long hairstyles, though your hair is short.
However, long hair opens up more possibilities for hairstyle choices, so if you got long hair, that’s better! From braids to curls, mermaid waves and bombshell blowout, your looks can never be limited. Long hair makes you younger, healthier and more feminine due to its features, such as soft, smooth as stunning look. Therefore, don’t be tied up, find your best long hairstyles.
Apart from your hair length and hair volume, when making a decision on the choice of your wedding hairstyle, your hair texture and hair accessories are also two main factors which can never be ignored. Flowers, hair pins, or even crown may after all be accepted as good choices to decorate your hairstyle.
Hair color
What hair color? For this question, you have lots of options. You may choose to go lighter, darker or keep your natural hair color. What you should keep in mind is that your choice of hair color will live forever in your wedding photos.
If you are blonde, to keep it shiny, always use shampoos and conditioners and remember to book for a color glossing treatment one or two weeks before the wedding day. If you are brown hair, you can visit hairstyle one week before the wedding day for a professional, neutralizing hair mask treatment.
With/without veil
Wearing a veil or not can also affect your choices of wedding hairstyle. If you wish to wear a veil, then consider a strong and steady hairstyle instead of a loose, soft and wispy hairstyle, because not only would a veil not have any substantial help with this hairstyle, but it would ruin it.

Questions like ‘’Is my hair long or voluminous enough to make this hairstyle?’’, ‘’Which of those hairstyles are perfect for my face shape?’’, ‘’Is my hair texture good enough to make me try this stunning hairstyle?’’ or ‘’I am tired of this hairstyle, is there any better?’’ should be asked as early as possible, one week before the wedding at least.
