A Pro's Guide to Curls on Your Outdoor Wedding Day

I've had the privilege of helping brides walk down the aisle with head-turning hair, and for curly-haired beauties, an outdoor wedding can be a truly magical occasion. But listen, here's the honest truth: the elements can be a bit of a wildcard. Don't you worry though, because with my experience, we can ensure your curls stay frizz-free and fabulous all day long.

When it comes to FRIZZ - Prep is Paramount:

This is where the foundation is built. In the weeks leading up to the big day, I'll recommend a personalized hair care regimen. Deep conditioning treatments become your new best friend. Healthy, hydrated hair is the secret weapon against frizz and ensures your curls hold their style like a champ. Prep for my curly girls is going to be different than for others and it starts at home.

But here's a stylist's secret: invest in a silk or satin pillowcase or bonnet at home. Cotton can be rough on curls, causing friction and frizz. Silk or satin allows your curls to glide smoothly throughout the night, minimizing morning mayhem.

Humidity? No Problem:

Humidity is a curly girl's arch nemesis, but fear not! We'll have an arsenal of humidity-resistant products in our corner. Leave-in conditioners specifically formulated for curls are a must, followed by a lightweight styling product for hold. To finish it off, we'll lock it all in with a strong-hold hairspray.

Keeping the WIND at bay :

Braided styles are a lifesaver for outdoor weddings. They keep your curls contained and polished while offering incredible versatility. Want a classic and elegant look? A braided crown is a timeless choice. We can even incorporate fresh flowers or pearls for a touch of fairytale whimsy. Feeling more whimsical? A fishtail braid adds a touch of modern flair.

Half-up, half-down styles are another fantastic option. This way, you get to keep some of your curls loose and flowing, while the rest stays out of your face.

Knowing what to expect going in:

Most importantly, don't forget the preview! This is where we collaborate, ensure you love your look, and test how it holds up. With my years of experience, we can create a wedding hairstyle that not only embraces your stunning curls but also withstands whatever Mother Nature throws your way.

Now, relax, enjoy your special day, and let your curls shine!
