Just like your skin care routine starts months before your wedding, your hair care routine also needs an early start. Ideally, brides should start preparing their hair 8-12 weeks in advance to see real results closer to their ‘big’ day. Don’t be fooled for a minute that on the morning of your ‘music’, your hair day will miraculously be great! To get that perfect look, you have to start early, be consistent and focus on care inside and out so that your hair looks naturally healthy, shiny and manageable throughout all the wedding ceremonies.
nutrition from the inside out
To look and feel its best, your hair needs to be well nourished too! So, start by being conscious of what’s on your plate because internal nutrition always comes first. A balanced diet with adequate protein, healthy fats, vitamins and hydration is the key to the health of your hair and no product can correct nutritional deficiencies. What you eat now shows up in your hair 6-12 weeks later, so the sooner you start, the better your results will be. Include protein in your diet to increase strength, iron and zinc to aid growth, and good fats for shine and scalp health. Don’t forget, quality sleep is equally essential for overall health.
Hydration is equally important for shiny, nourished hair. If you are experiencing hair fall or scalp problems, visit a professional early instead of trying a last minute ‘quick fix’ a few days before the wedding. You want to improve in your final weeks, not firefight.
hair maintenance
For your wedding, you want your haircuts to be deliberate, not impulsive. A trim about 4-6 weeks before the wedding allows the cut to settle and keeps your ends healthy. Don’t risk last minute changes affecting the styling. The same rule applies to color and treatment. A color refresh should be done 2-3 weeks before your celebrations so that your hair looks natural in photos. And any gray touch ups should be done closer to the event. The first treatment with any new smoothing or strengthening agent should be done 6-8 weeks in advance to allow your hair to adjust. The final week is about maintenance, not experimentation.
simple, consistent ritual
Your hair ritual in the months leading up to your wedding should focus on three things: strength, nourishment and protection. The trick to realizing your dream wedding look is to follow simple but consistent rituals from the day we decide on your wedding date. Stick to a steady ritual instead of piling multiple products into your mane. A gentle tri-surfactant formula strengthening shampoo to cleanse without stripping your scalp of its natural oils. Replace your conditioner with a nourishing mask for deep moisture and repair. This weekly reset keeps your hair soft, frizz-controlled, and more resistant to styling damage.
Add to this a leave-in conditioner for daily protection and a repair serum for smoothness, shine, repair and your ritual should be foolproof! A clear hair gloss infused with Argenia Spinosa Kernel Oil (Argan Oil) enhances smoothness and gives your hair a shiny mirror-like finish. Apply it a day before your major tasks so that the glow shows up exactly when you want it to.
Make styling wedding-proof
Wedding hairstyles are no joke! Your hair needs strength and stamina to keep up with the marathon of hairstyles you’ll undertake during week-long or longer celebrations. This is where versatile styling products come in. Use a multi-tasking hair styling spray infused with panthenol and other proteins to protect your hair from heat damage, control frizz, and add volume and shine, setting your hair in place from the start!
