The dream team
| Q | When should I start thinking about booking my hair stylist, and do you have any tips for finding the perfect supplier? |
| A | Kim Sandford says: Book a company and secure your date as soon as possible because many hair stylists only book one bridal party a day. If you find the perfect supplier, you wouldn't want to risk them not being available for your big day. Look at reviews to find the right person for you as I find websites are like a shop window, there to show off the best of a supplier's work. By looking at someone's social media pages, you can find a better feel of their day-to-day work and behind the scenes. Most hair stylists have a natural style such as romantic, boho or classic looks. Go for the style that best fits your wedding. |

Love is in the air
| Q | I want to do something creative with my long and straight hair, but I'm not sure what style to go for. Do you have any suggestions? |
| A | Sade Morland says: When choosing a hairstyle for your special day, it's important to try a few different styles at your hair trial. If you have long and straight hair that doesn't hold a curl very well, a good option would be a relaxed boho plait to help create texture and movement in your hair. You can have a few pieces out to frame the face or have it all entirely back; always explore your options and try to find out what style you're most comfortable with. If a relaxed boho look isn't for you, another good option would be an elegant and sleek bun, which can be tight and neat or exaggerated – what an excellent way to show off the dress's neckline! |

Big-day beautiful
| Q | I want to do something creative with my long, straight hair, but I'm not sure what style to go for. Do you have any suggestions? |
| A | Kim Sandford says: Long straight hair can be a great blank canvas as there are many ways to produce a creative look with texture and volume. Adding some details with plaits and braids are great options, and with so many different looks available, the choices are endless. Here are a few different ideas… - Use your long locks to create a braided headband. This simple and subtle look is delicate but gives an extra special touch to your hair. - Why not opt for a half-up and half-down look to still show off the length of your hair? Twist or plait the side sections back and secure each piece. - A loose and soft French or Dutch braid that falls all the way down to one side can add control and texture to the hair. Add some delicate flowers for an extra romantic feel. If the boho vibe is more to your liking, a fishtail plait will work well instead. - If an updo is preferred, create a twisted and textured look. This photo demonstrates a twist that provides softness with volume, perfect for an outdoor ceremony to avoid flyaways. |
