How to achieve dream hair for your wedding day

Our celebrity hair stylist Errol Douglas shares his top tips on how to achieve picture perfect hair for your wedding day

Start Early - it is vital that you have a good consultation which allows you to think about colour and growing short hair long

Watch the bleach on the beach - if you are having your hair bleached you need to consider the adverse effects strong sun may have on the look of your hair. If you are getting married in an exotic location or planning a beach honeymoon, make sure you consider which products you use very carefully.

Make sure that your veil is not too heavy, time after time I see brides who have amazing hair that is immediately flattened by a veil that is too heavy.

Practice makes perfect, make sure you have at least 2-3 trials including the use of any hairpieces well before your wedding day.

Never wash your hair on the big day; it will simply strip your hair of the natural oils which help the finished look stay looking great for longer.

Never style your hair with too much hair on your face as what looks great in real life can act as a mask in photographs. Your wedding album will be kept forever so you must consider how your hair is going to look when photographed.

Most importantly of all wearing your hair up is not for everyone if you feel it doesn’t suit you trust your instincts and wear your hair in a way that makes you look best.
