Planning and organizing your wedding day require plenty of preparation. The limo, bridesmaids, venue, caterers, wedding photographer, etc. And with all that planning it can be easy to neglect your beauty regime. You want to look your very best in the photos. Let’s not stress! Making sure you look and feel amazing for those memorable shots is easy once you’ve got a plan. Here’s how to put together a beauty checklist to get ready for that special photo-shoot.
1. Glossy hair
Choosing a style, that you love and a stylist that you trust is one thing but looking after your locks in the buildup will help you achieve glossy hair for all of your wedding pictures. So, stick to washing every other day at most, otherwise you risk stripping your hair of its natural oils and luster. Avoid excessive heat from drying and styling where you can and treat your hair to a deep conditioner at once a week.
Using the right products for your hair type is key. One of the most important parts of your pre-wedding hair care routine is to use quality products and to make sure they’re right for you. Whether you’ve got fine, thick, curly or straight hair, or low, medium or high hair porosity, this is really important. For example, those with high porosity hair are better using gentler products than others. Matching up the right product with your hair type is the best way of keeping it in great condition.
