Is anyone doing their own hair?

madfrenchgirl

I just thought I would follow in the tradition of "Is anyone doing their own make-up?"...

I went for my hair trial and did not like it one bit. It was a very posh salon and it was very expensive. I am now trying to find a mobile hairdresser to come and do my hair ont he day but I only have 1 month to go and none of them are replying to my calls: I guess everyone is on holiday. TBH, the more I think about it, the more I am inclined towards doing my own hair: it is such a frizzy/curly/coarse/difficult mane that I have yet to find any hairdresser who could do a better job than me. When i look back on my hairdresser history, I realise the only thing I am happy with when I get out is a trim.

Do we know of sites/videos where they teach you how to do your own hair somewhere?

I am off to buy tons of frizz-ease serum, lol.

I am doing my own hair - partly because the wedding is in the middle of nowhere, and we're arriving the day before, so it would be difficult to go to a salon and expensive to have someone come to me. And partly because I hate people fiddling with my hair!

But I'm not doing anything fancy, as I don't like my hair when it's up. I have long, straight hair, and I'm just having it half up, with a pearl hairband and then my veil on the back of my head. Looks like "me" much more than if a hairdresser did it!

I have to say that my sister has this same issue with hairdressers. She goes to them and comes out a frizzy mess, does it herself and it falls in gorgeous ringlets. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing your own hair- just make sure you do it early so you don't get stressed and sweaty doing it (I know I would!).

I too have very thick, curly hair and would deffo recommend trying a more exotic hairdresser. I cannot believe how well my hair behaves itself after a cut from my turkish hairdresser.

As for doing my hair at home I'd recommend putting your hair in rollers and setting lotion the night before. Really stops all the crazy hairs which frizz up and makes it so easy to style and pin. Hair feels pants while it's on though but it does gleam in photos.

I've got a hair thing called a donut (from Boots) which I just pin my hair over when up and it looks fab (and so easy). It's the only way to get the cheryl cole look with putting in a hairpiece.

I am thinking wether or not to do my own hair or to get the salon in the hotel to do it, we are getting married aboard. I will be wearing a veil and a tiara, was going to have my hair up, it is just past my shoulders, but now thinking if iam wearing a veil will it look better down or will it look nice up?

Hi,

Have you tried youtube? There are lots of girls on there that make hair and make up tutorials and show you how to recreate a style step by step.

What kind of style are you looking to do for your big day?
