Prepping your hair

For this post we are exploring about prepping your hair for shooting or actual day. We will explore it through a makeup artist point of view or rather my point of view :)

A lot of my clients had asked me what length of hair is the most ideal for styling. Personally, i think hair that is longer than your chest area is excessive. We don`t want it to be too much or too little to work on. So girls, don`t think you`re doing your makeup artist a favor by leaving your hair extremely long :)

Ever find yourself ogling at the pictures on wedding magazine? wondering why their hairdo looked so "3D" ?

Let you guys on a secret. We, makeup artist secretly love dye-damaged hair. Simply because this type of hair are easier to handle and their curls tend to be bouncier and last longer. Of course i will not ask for all my client to damage their hair but there is one important suggestion that you should take into account - colour your hair. The reason is coloured hair reflects light, and dark coloured hair absorbs light.

As you can see in the picture. Both client has curls on their hair, but the client on the left hand side has nicer and prominent curls. Talk to your makeup artist or hair stylist if you wanted to colour your hair. 

I would suggest my clients to keep it in the shades of brown...so good luck ladies and be a happy bride :)
