Tips|To Dye or Not To Dye?

July 28, 2010 By weddingadvisor

Tips | To Dye or Not to Dye?

After months and months of planning, dieting, weight watching, prepping your skin for makeup and basically looking the best you ever did for the most important day of you life, one of the key questions that we often receive from our brides is regarding whether they should dye their hair or not and even sometimes this is overlooked. However, maintaining your hair can make a world of a difference when it comes to your wedding date. It is important to stay on top of this besides just letting it grow long to achieve your desired style, but color wise as well! Often times we recommend two options:

Option 1: Dye your hair all one-color tone so that it will be easy to work with and it will not show in mistakes in your hair coloring (if there should be any). This will also leave you stress free about touching up highlights, which require a lot more attention and will definitely be a lot easier to manage.

Option 2: If you have highlights and want to keep them for the big day be sure to dye the roots again two weeks before the wedding to touch up and hide any discrepancies. In addition, always be sure to tell your stylist to highlight the bottom of your hair too. This is often forgotten and overlooked—a deadly move! If you’re planning to have your hair up you do not want your hair to be two toned with the top of the hair one color and the bottom of the hair another! This will be highly obvious and may look horrific in photographs and in person! In addition, always be sure to get the roots done if your hair is nothing close to your natural hair color or else this will be visible as well.

Remember ladies that you should pay attention to the details and your hair should never be forgotten!
