Wedding Wednesday... Effortless Wedding Day Hair

As I reflected about today's topic, I imagined myself being on a sunny, white-sand and
clear blue-watered island. I thought about a stress-free bride, frolicking on the beach with her husband celebrating their newly consecrated union.
I envisioned the sun reflecting off of her effortless but beautiful hair, her laughing as she played up and down the shoreline with her Mr.Right.
Ahh...What a beautiful sight!
Most brides spend multiple hours as well as large amounts of money on hair and make-up for their wedding day.
Not suggesting that it's a bad idea, just stating the facts. However there are some brides that take a more minimalistic approach.
They do their own hair and makeup, because at the end of the day beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The beholder is your husband-to-be. I've learned over the years that most men can care less about how extravagant you wear your hair. They don't even notice half the time what you do with your hair. It has to be a drastic difference, for example going from waist-long hair to a bob or going from super curly hair to straight. Other than that, they don't notice (There are always exceptions, In which case you may way to raise an eyebrow.
Effortless wedding day hair can be achieved with little or no cost to you. Effortless hair is perfect for a beach ceremony. You want to have a hairstyle that is minimal because it will usually be warm (humid)  and or windy.
There are so many beautiful natural styles. I just love all the creativity that can be achieved through hair. It really is artistic expression. I love being a Tress Artist.

Holiday Hair Ideas

It's that time of year again, which might I add came up really fast.  I'm sure many of you are finalizing travel plans, or trying to figure out what plans should be made. Of course the even bigger question is "What should I do with my hair?" I'm here to help you figure it out. Whether it's an simple up-do, color, silk press, extensions, braids, etc... I'll give you a few looks that may help you with your decision. Some of you will be in the kitchen cooking, socializing with friends/family, traveling, or maybe just relaxing. If you will be in the kitchen, a simple, heat resistant hairstyle would be the most practical. A great solution would be a sleek ponytail or an low maintenance up-do.
As for those of you who will be entertaining friends/family, a statement hairstyle would work best. You'll be doing a lot of talking, playing games, possibly even dancing, so you want that hair to have movement.
Even if you will be traveling or relaxing, you want versatility but also something you can maintain on your own. Braids, natural (heatless) style, or even extensions could be the route you want to go.
Whichever holiday plans that you settle on, make sure that your  hairstyle is easy for you to maintain.

Happy Holidays from Serena Hampton the Tress Artist
