Planning your dream wedding is an exciting journey, and one of the most important aspects of your big day is your bridal hairstyle. With so many styles to choose from, finding the perfect look that complements your dress and personal style can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry! We’re here to guide you through the process, so that you shine on your special day.

1. Consider Your Dress Style

The first step in choosing your bridal hairstyle is to consider the style of your wedding dress. If you're wearing a classic ball gown, elegant updos or soft curls can create a timeless look. For a bohemian-style dress, loose waves adorned with floral accessories may be the perfect match. Take some time to visualise how different hairstyles will look with your gown, as this will help narrow down your options.

2. Think About Your Wedding Theme

Your wedding theme plays a significant role in your hairstyle choice. A beach wedding may call for a relaxed, beachy look, while a formal ceremony may require a more polished style. Incorporate elements of your theme into your hairstyle for a cohesive look. For example, if you're having a vintage-themed wedding, consider retro hairstyles like finger waves or a classic chignon.

3. Factor in Your Hair Type

Your natural hair type can greatly influence your hairstyle choices. If you have fine hair, you may want to consider hairstyles that add volume, such as soft curls or textured updos. Conversely, if you have thick hair, you can experiment with more intricate styles, like braids or twisted updos. If you’re looking to enhance your hair’s length or volume, hair extensions can be a fantastic solution. They provide the perfect way to achieve the length and fullness you desire without the commitment.

4. Explore Different Styles

When it comes to bridal hairstyles, the options are nearly endless. Here are some stunning hairstyle ideas you might love:

Loose Waves: Perfect for a laid-back or beach wedding, loose waves give a soft and romantic feel. Pair them with floral accessories for a boho look.

5. Try Out Hair Extensions

If you're dreaming of a specific hairstyle but your natural hair doesn’t quite fit the bill, hair extensions can be your best friend. Whether you want to add length, volume, or both, extensions allow you to achieve the perfect look without waiting for your hair to grow. Clip-in extensions are a popular choice for brides since they’re easy to apply and remove, giving you flexibility on your big day.

6. Schedule a Trial Run

Once you've narrowed down your hairstyle options, it's essential to schedule a trial run with your hairstylist. This will give you the opportunity to see how your chosen hairstyle looks with your dress and make any necessary adjustments. Bring any hair accessories you plan to wear, and don't hesitate to ask for their professional opinion on what styles will work best for you.


7. Keep Comfort in Mind

On your big day, you’ll want to exude comfort and confidence. Ensure that your hairstyle feels secure and that you can move freely. Avoid styles that might cause tension or discomfort, especially if you plan to wear your hair down for the reception. Hair extensions can also help distribute weight evenly, allowing for a comfortable fit while adding beautiful volume or length.

Choosing the perfect bridal hairstyle is an important part of your wedding planning process. By considering your dress style, wedding theme, hair type, and personal preferences, you can find a look that enhances your beauty on your special day. And remember, hair extensions can be a wonderful way to achieve your dream hairstyle, offering versatility and a flawless finish. Take your time, experiment, and enjoy this beautiful journey toward your wedding day!

Our newest addition! The famous 'GENIUS WEFT'!

Our newest addition! The famous 'GENIUS WEFT'!

Our newest addition to our Weft Collection is the “Genius Weft”. It is the most premium style of weft in the hair extension market and serves to be the most preferred choice among stylists. With traditional wefts, the seams are a lot thicker, however they able to be cut. These wefts suit those that are wanting that extra thickness. Hand-Tied Weft Extensions come much thinner, so it’s easy to blend into your hair without and lumps and bumps! However, they cannot be cut, so they if they are too long, they will need to be folded over when installing. Good thing about our new Genius wefts, they are both thin AND can be cut along the seams! Making it practically invisible! Its customization abilities are why it’s such a flexible choice. The Genius Weft uses a new method of machine weaving, which allows the hair to be tightly weaved meaning no return hair! Return hair is something that is usually present in Hand-Tied Weft Extensions. For many people return hair isn’t too much of an issue, however people with sensitive scalp can be irritated by those few strands that come apart. This new machine weaving method ensures that the above doesn’t occur. Traditional wefts come much denser, not allowing for it to be stacked on top of another seamlessly or create colour blends. Hand Tied Wefts, come less dense allowing you to layer multiple wefts and create unique blends. Genius Weft allows you to have more density than the Hand Tied all while still giving you the ability to create unique colour blends and stack multiple wefts. Coming in 30+ colours, SHE Genius Weft is ready to have our stylists on chokehold!   PLEASE NOTE: We highly recommend to not allow the use of Olaplex on the band of the extensions as the active ingredients in Olaplex can break the band.
