Bridal Hair Styles for 2009

So, you’re getting married in 2009 and wonder what the hot hairstyles are going to be?

The word on the street is that brides are going to be wearing the soft, romantic look, with hair down, plenty of ringlets and curls, with a minimum of accessories.

The emphasis is going to be the natural look, with any updos have some hair loose at the sides or the back for that softer look.

The key to these wedding day styles will be using the right hair products to ensure that your “look” stays perfectly in place for the day.

If you’ve got fine hair, test out a few products to give your hair body and stop it from becoming flyaway.

If you’ve got curly hair, you may want to try out sprays to give you more control to hold those curls in place.

If you’ve got short hair, but want that “longer” look for your wedding day, you can opt for hair extensions that look just like your own hair.

Make sure you’ve found a hairdresser or stylist that you can trust and who knows your hair and what you like.  Treat yourself to a regular conditioning treatment in the weeks and months leading up to your wedding day.  To keep improving the condition, use a paddle brush and brush it well daily. 

On the actual day, use a shine spray or serum to give that extra special look and a hold spray to keep it in place.

Bridal Looks with Sedu Straighteners

Bridal hair is a great opportunity to use the magic of Sedu styling.

Every bride wants to have beautiful hair for her big day and many opt for putting the hair up. Often the bride has lots of curls pinned together and arranged loosely on the back. These curls can be created using the straighteners to shape them before pinning.

1. Wash and condition the hair using products suited to the hair type and then blow dry straight, leaving it to cool completely before using the straighteners.

2. Split the hair into small sections and run the straighteners along each section, twisting it along the way to create a wave.

3. Do not be tempted to run fingers through the sections after they are done, just leave to cool and then twisted loosely together at the bottom of the head and fasten in a version of a French pleat, with the ends of hair left hanging out from the top.

4. Pin the trailing curls randomly, creating those pretty coils. If not using a hairdresser, then it's probably easiest to get a friend to help with this style.

5. Unusual pins, flowers or jewels can be added to give an even more special touch.

Alternatively, Sedu styles can be used to give an immaculately straight style for the day, with a tiara for detail, or with the front section pinned back with a sparkling clip. When pinning back, use the straighteners to pull the hair back away from the face so it will sit well and not fall flat as the day goes on. Prior to styling, blow dry using a volumising gel at the roots.
