My sister got married over Labor Day Weekend in beautiful Blowing Rock, North Carolina. Since the weather there right now is 65 degrees and sunny, I thought a blow-out was the way to go. We actually hired a really cool hairstylist to come to the resort. Her name was Celia and she was amazing, and not to mention in her early 20′s. She used a new method to make sure my hair was straight but still had volume. The end result came out very natural and elegant. This is how you can recreate my wedding hair:

1. Divide  soaking wet hair into sections

2. Blow-dry using a round brush starting with back sections

3. Once each section is dry, run a straightening iron over hair once or twice

4. Curl hair under (like your using a roller) and pin

5. Move to next section and repeat steps

Once all the sections were done, Celia removed the clips and I let my mane down! My hair was full and straight with a tad curl at the ends. She then pulled back the front pieces and secured with several bobby pins.

I was really happy with how my hair turned out. I was a bridesmaid in a wedding two years ago and I got the worst up-do ever. My hair was a giant frizzball my the end of the night.

So, take my advice. If you have thick hair, don’t try to pile it all on your head. A more natural approach is always best for weddings.
