Hello Beauties,

I often have clients asking me how to prepare their hair for the event they have asked me to style it for. So I’ve decided to make my very first blog post about just that!

I suppose the most common question is when should I wash my hair? If you ask any hair sylist they will all agree that “dirty” hair is easiest to work with and holds a style best. Now when I say “dirty” I don’t mean don’t wash your hair for a month, I mean don’t wash your hair the day of your event. Even if you have very fine hair and swear you need to shampoo every single day, it is still best to avoid washing it the day of your event. Your stylist will have dry shampoo and various other products they can use to ensure it doesn’t look oily.

My next tip is to not drastically change your hair right before your event. Stick to what you know, the same colorist the same color the same ol’ same ol’. There is nothing worse than deciding to try a trendy new hairstyle or color a week before your wedding and hating it!

Along with coloring your hair I don’t recommend cutting your hair prior to your special event either. We’ve all been there, you tell the stylist you just, “want a trim” and end up walking out with 4 inches chopped off! Save your trims for post-event, trust me!

Lastly to ensure your hair is in tip top condition, I always recommend visiting your salon for an Olaplex treatment. Olaplex is a deep conditioning treatment designed to strenghthen and prevent damage to your hair, making it unbelievably soft, shiny and luxurious. You can read all about it and find a salon that offers it here http://www.olaplex.com/

Hopefully that covers any hair related questions you might think of prior to your big event. If it doesn’t, please feel free to ask me any that you have!
