Prepping Your Hair for Wedding Day

A healthy, well-maintained mane is essential for a stunning wedding hairstyle.

Here are some tips from the producers of the annual Ever & After Wedding Expo, held at the Hapo Center annually each January to ensure your hair looks its best:

1. Get Regular Trims:

• Get a trim 2-3 weeks before your wedding to remove split ends and promote healthy growth. This also allows you time to grow out a little length if you had more trimmed than you would like.

• Ask your stylist to concentrate on shaping and removing damaged ends.

2. Deep Conditioning:

• Treat your hair to a deep conditioning mask once or twice a week, but don't overdo it and weigh down your hair.

• Choose a mask suited to your hair type (e.g., hydrating, protein-based). Apply the mask to damp hair, leave it on for the recommended time, and rinse thoroughly.

• Choose a mask suited to your hair type (e.g., hydrating, protein-based).

3. Minimize Heat Styling:

• Try air-drying or using heatless styling techniques whenever possible.

• If you must use heat, apply a heat protectant spray before styling.

4. Nutrition:

• Nutrients: Include foods rich in biotin, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids (like salmon, nuts, and eggs) in your diet, this is especially important if you have been dieting to loose a few pounds before wedding day-you may be lacking in nutrients.

• Drink plenty of water to keep your hair, skin and scalp hydrated.

5. Gentle Hair Care:

• Opt for sulfate-free shampoos to avoid stripping your hair of natural oils.

• Always condition your hair after shampooing to lock in moisture.

6. Avoid Over Washing:

• Wash your hair every 2-3 days to prevent dryness and scalp irritation.

7. Scalp Care:

• Gently exfoliate your scalp with a scalp scrub or a soft-bristled brush to remove buildup and promote healthy hair growth.

8. Consult with Your Stylist:

• Schedule a hair trial with your stylist to discuss your desired style and get professional advice on hair care. This will also give you a realistic expectation of the time it will take to do your hair on wedding day.

• Ask your stylist for product recommendations that suit your hair type and the desired style.

By following these easy tips, you can ensure that your hair is healthy, hydrated, and ready to look its best on your wedding day.
