10 quick tips for healthy wedding hair

Brides-to-be often have to shift gears ahead of the big day to look flawless despite their hectic schedule, right from selecting the wedding dress to deciding the food menu and more.

For achieving this, it is essential to incorporate a good and healthy bridal wellness routine weeks before the main event, especially focusing on hair care in order to get the gorgeous look every bride wants. So here are some tips for a bridal hair care routine which you can consider.

01. Use a repairing hair mask

Instead of the usual conditioner after a shampoo, swap with a hair mask to add even more nourishment and help repair damaged hair before your wedding day by providing deep conditioning treatment to the strands.

Other concerns a repair hair mask can address are frizz, breakage and dryness. Apply it to the wet hair for a specific amount of time to help the ingredients absorb into the hair thoroughly to boost deep nourishment.

02. Invest in the right shampoo and conditioner 

Choose sulfate-free products that will clean your hair without stripping it off the essential oils. For example a sulfate-free conditioner to keep the hair nourished and moisturized.

Once you have found the right products, you can further customize by choosing the one suitable for your hair type or any other specific need.

03. Start early

Build your hair care routine at least three months before the wedding as this timeline will allow you to address any issues like dryness or thinning.

Regular trimming and a dedicated hair care routine will ensure that hair remains looking healthy and vibrant as the big day approaches

04. Focus on hydration 

Well hydrated hair not only is easier to style but appears smooth and shiny as well. Opt for a conditioner and moisturizing shampoo that is tailored to your hair type.

In addition, drink a minimum of eight glasses of water everyday to keep the body hydrated.

05. Prep hair for per-wedding events

To give your hair a break from the multiple pre-wedding events consider using a serum to keep the hair hydrated and frizz-free.

Use a silk pillowcase at night to help reduce friction which can often lead to breakage and split ends.

06. Schedule a salon hair trial

A hair trial salon visit is a must for every bride and should be scheduled a month before the wedding date to test the different hairstyles and find one that will go with your dress and personal preferences.

Discuss the hair style depending on your hair type and carry any accessory you plan to wear to see of it matches with the chosen hairstyle.

07. Eat healthy

Beauty starts from within and the same is the case with your hair. Incorporate a healthy balanced diet with high protein foods and vitamins to foster healthy hair growth.

If you notice any deficiencies, consider adding a hair supplement in your routine.

08. Prioritize scalp health

A healthy head relates to healthy hair, so exfoliate your scalp with a scrub to remove buildup. This will improve blood circulation in the scalp and promote hair growth.

09. Use heat protectants

Pet-wedding events mean frequent styling using heat styling tools which can cause dryness and split ends.

Always use a heat protectant serum prior to using a hair dryer or curling irons to form a safety barrier for your hair against the high heat.

10. Keep an emergency hair care kit handy

Even with meticulous planning things can go wrong and nothing can be worse if something happens on the wedding day.

Pack a small hair care kit to include a mini hairbrush, bobby pins, dry shampoo and a smoothing serum to tame flyaways or frizz.
