Winter Wedding Hair Guide: 6 Tips And 48 Examples

    Winter wedding preparation time is on the homestretch, the hottest time for the brides-to-be is on. Winter weddings have their own difficulties and tricks to use to get a perfect big day, and today I’m going to share some tips on having perfect hair on a winter big day.

Keep Your Hair In Good Condition

    In the months leading up to the wedding choose a deep conditioning treatment to keep hair and scalp moisturized. Apply this to your locks frequently to nourish your lengths and ends so they are kept in optimum condition.

Consider Your Outfit

    A lot of winter brides will wear a beautiful faux fur stole or shrug to keep warm while walking down the aisle and having their pictures taken outside. If you decide to wear a low bun at the side or back, the bottom of the bun may rub against your stole – this will not only make your hair look windswept, but will also weaken the hairstyle and cause it to fall out. Buttons at the back can get your hair tangled on. Brides choosing a high-necked dress should also try to wear their hair up as high as possible to create height – this will elongate your neckline and make you feel tall and slender. You could opt for hair to be swept to the side if you feel uncomfortable with all your hair up, and have a few loose strands to frame your face.

Opt For A No Fuss Hairstyle

    Prepare for the worst case scenario weather situation, and go for an easier hairstyle that you won’t have to fuss around with too much during the day. Whatever the style, the key is to blast it with anti-humidity hairspray so it seals in the look.

Embrace An Updo

    Loose locks don’t fare quite as well when faced with rain and wind. Opt for updos that won’t get bashed around by the weather or go static, like a ballet bun which holds strands in place and can be lacquered up to resist damp air. Choosing an updo will mean that your hair will be neatly tucked into a beautiful style that won’t budge throughout the day. It’s also guaranteed to look amazing in your wedding photos.

Choose Stunning Accessories

    Winter hair is all about glitz and glamour so think about adding some sparkle to your do. Fascinators, clips, tiaras and headbands can all look amazing and will give your overall look that wow factor.

On The Big Day

    Hair tends to get static with the changes of temperature in the winter months due to dryness, and a clingy veil or synthetic hat or scarf can exacerbate frizz and flyaways. The best bet to combat static and keep your style in tact is to soak your hair in a hydrating mask the day before your wedding. Apply it to your ends for five minutes and rinse it out. Then, stick a single dryer sheet into your day clutch for touchups throughout your wedding day. It works wonders at taming flyaways when you gently smooth it over your hair.
