Help. Hair trial next week and need some photo ideas!

MayDay, 27 February, 2009 at 21:58 Posted on Planning 0 16

Help! I have my hair trial next week and need some photo ideas!

I have long dark blonde (OK highlighted) hair, straight with no fringe.

I definately want my hair down but with some front bits up away from my face (I usually clip a small section back with a grip on one side of my parting). I would also like it slightly curly (my perfect hair would be like 'Maria's' from Coronation Street...has anyone got any photo ideas they can share??? Thanks Ladies.

    Wish I could help but I had the trial from hell and am stuck for ideas myself. I asked my hairdresser for hair down with front bits up and I ended up with hair half up and looking 10 years old!

    Sorry i shouldn't be giggling to myself, but your reference to a 10 year old painted a right picture and I can so imagine how it looked...poor thing!!! Did you take photos with you? I really want my hair to look quite natural and not scrapped back at the top.

    I need to ask my mum to dig out the photo I'm thinking I look like from school. It was one of those professional pics and my mum put my hair half up, half down for did EXACTLY like the hairdresser did! It was scrapped back at the top and took 2 hours to do!!! WTF!

    No I didn't take pics because I thought a simple bob with front sections pinned back was easy but clearly not.

    Ooooooh dear. Are you going to find another hairdresser or try again?

    Probably try again as my bm liked her hair and my mum will only go to that same hairdresser so if myself and bm went somewhere else that would be another 2 hair trials to pay for and then having my mum in a different salon on the day instead of just me paying for another attempt at the same place. Does that make sense!

    I tried myself with my hair all down and I liked it so if i ask for a blow dry just in a bob with plenty of volume that shouldn't be difficult. I am also wondering whether I could have sections down and curly but the back up so that stays neat and my veil and tiara have something to hold onto. That way my face would still be framed instead of it being scrapped back. Just don't know what is the best.

    MMM...tricky. Maybe ask your hairdresser what she would do with your hair type etc.I wouldn't want to pay for lots of hair trials either....it all gets too expensive. Hope you manage to sort it out. x
