Doing own hair

My hairdresser always says don't wash your hair for a day or two before, as styles hold better on dirty hair, sounds odd but it works. I am no good at hair as don't do anything with it but chuck up in a pony so I have got someone in to do it. Maybe see if local college students are looking for people to practice on, you never know they may be willing to come do your hair and make up for a small fee to help build their portfolio. It is worth splashing out on you and maybe asking your BM's to do their own, this is quite common now, or if they want professional then they can pay, once you know the take up speak to a hair and make up person and get prices.

Definitely don't wash your hair on the day, it really does hold better! Also a bit of dry shampoo can work really well to hold the curls We didn't have anyone to do our hair/make up either, it saved a lot of money and was a lot more relaxed and fun (in my opinion!)

Hey, I curl my hair with the straighteners and this holds my hair so much better than any curling tong. Youtube will have loads of videos for you to try! I would say just wash it the night before ready for the morning.
