Honest Hair Opinions Please **Flash

Pheonix, 19 July, 2011 at 14:51 Posted on Planning 0 20

Hi All,

I was so sure I wanted my hair up and therefore didn't even entertain having it down... I went along to my hair trial with loads of pics and after trying loads of stuff we had fine tuned it and I was happy - I never wear my hair up but my mum had always told me my hair would look messy quickly if it were down...

Anyway a few weeks ago I got an awful rash, caused by stress all over my body, it was/is bright red itchy and all together pretty awful, I went back to my hairdresser to try a down do to cover some of the rash incase as the doctor suggested it would take 12 weeks to go away I needed to cover myself up a bit more. I really liked it and felt a little like myself which was nice as this while wedding is so far out of my comfort zone (im a jeans and tshirt comfort girl :o) ) However it fell within an hour, my hairdresser told me she would wet set it on the day which would help it last a bit longer but now I'm confused and I don't know what to do for the best, up or down...

My rash has faded quite a lot and although still itchy (ewww) is now pretty much the same colour as my skin!

The updo would be a lot neater and more curly at the back, to be fair this was my sixth or seventh updo so my hair was getting increasingly messy...

So opinions please ladies which would u choose?

    You have lovely hair! (bit jealous!)

    I like the up-do. I like it the way it looks in the pics, bit messy. I don't like up-do's looking too perfect.

    Both lovely, but the top one is my fave, it is more special.

    Thank you all, it seems a unanimous decision!

    I was leaning towards wearing it down but was worried about the not too special and it looking a bit of a mess after a while... well you've all changed my mind, I shall be wearing it up!

    Lets hope oh loves it! :o)

    Have to say that as much I as firmly believe you should choose a style that makes you feel comfortable, I absolutely LOVE the updo - really, really gorgeous!

    You have gorgeous hair!

    I think both look beautiful but the updo is just that little bit more special, different and stunning!! I agree with some of the previous posts that I quite like it a little bit messy. My wedding updo was far too neat and structured and I didn't really like it on the day. However, if you would like it neatened up for the day I still think it will look gorgeous!
