Hair help - anyone? HIBS?

izzy_on_the_rocks, 10 August, 2011 at 23:06 Posted on Planning 0

I had my trial today (will add pics when camera charges) and somehow it just isn't what I wanted. I thought it was OK at the time but now in hindsight I am unsure. It looked OK I suppose but it didn't feel special or pretty. I have been pottering about online looking at images but I'm struggling to find a good pic of what I want as most seem to be side shots.

I wanted something very simple and elegant with all hair up (no tendrils) and I didn't want a curled 'do as I have so much hair it just doesn't hold, ever. My hair is very long, fine but lots of it and all one length. I think I was thinking of something along the line of a prettied up chignon if that makes sense to anybody? What the lady did was nice but just not right - she tonged my hair, swept it back and then pinned it all up in an elaborate mass. It was quite neat and not very sticky out but...not right. Sorry not explaining very well!

If anybody can help with suggested styles/sites with good pics I would be very grateful. Wedding in 1 week so I am panicking now.

    Well I trained as hairdresser, not done it for years though! The only thing I can think of at this time of night is a french pleat or barrell curl updo with no loose bits. Don't know if you have looked at them? Most updos that come to mind are really curly ?
