Girls please help me with my hair crisis!!!

How about a french roll? quite elegant and I thought about it for mine but ended up I'm going for a french pleat because my hair is long enough to sit on and I kinda want to show it off!!

There is an easy way to get a neat bun, Im not sure what its called but its a round donut type thing you can get from a hair wholesalers, your hairdresser might find using it easier..(no backcombing needed!)

Im a hairdresser and always use these thing for wedding hair, buns, barrell curls, to get height etc lots of things you can do with them.

Thanks girls, my hairdresser said she could try the bun with a donut so will give that a go. Do you think the bun in the pic is too big?

I dont think it is too big, I think with wedding hair it should have a bit of a statement about it. You want everyone to be able to see that its a bun. Remember thou it will depend on how thick your own hair is regarding the size that your bun will be (this is sounding very strange)..

No, and even if I did it's your wedding and you shouldn't worry what anyone thinks - as long as you feel fab xx

Cant offer anything useful because Im having my hair down and curly, but just wanted to say Good Luck Date Twin with your next hair appointment, hope you get it sorted exactly as you want it!

Oh thanks Nat, hope you are more organised than me!!! I still havent even picked my music!!!

This was my hair trial

So although it was a side bun it was more of a messy one than a tight one.

Google.... wedding hair bun and then click images and there are tons of different pics. x

I wanted that kind of style too, how about something like this?

This is the kind of look I was going to have but I'm also going to be wearing a veil and wanted it high up so that wont work ☹️

Or try chignon I found loads and loads this way.

There's also a couple of good you-tube videos by Sharon Blain which show you how to use things like hair pads and donuts (and then you can buy on ebay for about a fiver). I've had to do this as I fell in love with a chignon, but have very, very fine hair so I need some more volume - so much so that I'm actually going to have to use clip in extensions too.

HTH

What does a chignon look like, I can only seem to find pics of the front/side and cant really see what it looks like? x

Im wanting a side bun style and these are the pics ive saved....

This is our daughter as our bridesmaid

Pretty much the same as a bun. The second photo snuggle-bum has posted comes up under a search for chignon - it's what started me off on my searching!

Thanks girls lots of ideas here!! I have been growing out a side fringe and I guess im not to sure what to do with the front of my hair, I dont want it to look flat but at the same time im drawing the line at back combing!

Definately sticking with the large bun, thanks!!
