UP & AWAY

I want my hair in a bun for my wedding, but without it looking too structured and pulled back. What do you suggest? For a start, I always advise that preparation and choosing the correct products is key. Start by prepping the hair with a smoothing cream to tame frizz and give a glossy finish. I’d then suggest using a wide barrelled tong to create a loose wave, before setting on Velcro rollers while the curls cool. Once these are taken out, apply a texturising spray throughout to add volume and hold without having to backcomb. The hair can then be pulled into a ponytail and secured with a bobble, twisted round on itself to create a bun and pinned into the desired shape. Your hair can then be teased out round the face and from the bun to give a softer finish. A final finishing touch of a lightweight hairspray will ensure it lasts all day.
