Chocolate Brides: Hair Question

[CBREWSTER]

Looks great Misty. What type of hair did you use if you don't mind me asking?

Hi CBrewster,

 

I have the Virgin Indian hair. So far so good. Supposedly it's reusable (as long as it's taken care of) for over a year. My stylist has had hers for a year. I will give you an update when I have it taken down and put up again before the wedding (in 10 weeks).

 

Here's a pic of the hair I have.

Is is true that most choclate brides wear their hair up instead of down? why is that? I would rather have my hair down but am I setting myself up for failure? is it because the curls don't hold or that it get frizzy? I plan on wearing virgin indian remy extentions.

I wanted to wear my hair down, but sometimes it comes down to the style of dress you have and what hairstyle best shows it off. I have a one-shoulder gown and the suggested hair for that style is up. Sometimes, it's about comfort, climate, the texture of your hair, etc.

Oh ok I see what your saying so I am wondering what styles apart from the one shoulder constitutes that one should wear the hair up or down? I will be researching this fpr sure because I don't want to commit any fashion crimes on my wedding day...lol

Thanks Misty! Can't wait to hear.

I'm wearing my hair up because the wedding will be outside and I don't want the wind to blow my hair all over in photos

Hey chocolate ladies!  Although I am not totally set on my hair, I do need some make-up advice.  I will likely end up doing my own make-up so I know I need to do some trials.  Need suggestions on products for semi-oily skin, where to go, techniques etc.  I'm a little nervous about depending solely on the resort so I need to have a clue before I leave.  Please give any suggestions you all have.

 

Thanks!

I'm a fan of Mary Kay.  The product is awesome and the reps are very knowledgeable and they can teach you some techniques.
