I'm in the same boat, so awaiting good advice as well! I wanted to do something loose bit need texture - like with hot rollers & curling iron. I'm not sure it will hold all day. I'm kind of bored with the look I get when I have it pulled back smooth.
Me too! My fiance loves my hair down, but I know it won't hold up all day, so I'm compromising with half up/half down.
Me four.
I have extremelly thick, very fine hair.
And a gigantic fivehead instead of a forehead.
So I haven't a clue on how to wear it.
My daughter has really fine silky beautiful hair and it does not stay in a bun for long. I found this out yesterday at ballet. I would make time to do a couple of hair trials if you can. That way you can find out what works best.
I'm wondering what I can do with my super straight, fine hair too. I don't like how it looks up but I don't just want it hanging in my face, so I hope to find a nice half up/down style and may attempt to put some soft curls in it.
@Lish - we may look exactly the same!!! Haha, my best friend and BM thought she was creative, coming up with five-head. I'll have to tell her someone else has thought of it as well.
I went to a few hair trials before I found a girl who I really liked. She was brutally honest, told me why some styles won't work and really took the time to work with my hair instead of just pulling it back with a side part like the other stylists did. The way she described my hair is - you have really fine hair, but a lot of it. It's hard to explain what she did. I'm having an updo, like a twist, but she's leaving a long bang down and curling it, while twisting the top of my hair to add volume instead of teasing. PM me and I can send you pics...she took a lot so she remembers what she did come wedding day.
Ugh, me too. Very fine, stick straight, won't even stay in a ponytail for 15 minutes before the ponytail starts sliding down my head.
I don't know what to do. I wanted something loose and carefree, but I'll probably have to do something severe and pulled back. :( Was looking through my stacks of mags last night for inspiration, but haven't made a hair trial appt. yet.
Would love to see pics of hair trials of the fine-haired brides!
I have long, very straight, fine hair that will not hold curl at all! I wanted something loose and romantic for the wedding day, so my solution was clip-in hair extensions. I got them through my stylist for a couple hundred dollars. They are made of human hair, so they can be curled or straightened with normal styling tools, Also, they're reusable, so I still have them and wear them whenever I want a little extra "vavavoom."
I really like the way they turned out, but towards the end of the night, my hair started looking a little stringy due to hours of dancing and the sweat that goes along with it! I suppose it's my own fault - I didn't want to miss a second of the reception, so I didn't do any makeup or hair touchups.
I finally scheduled a hair trial for this Tuesday... we'll see what they can do with my hair. I'll post pics if they aren't too hideous! :P
I'm in the same boat as you lot!
There is a hair tool I found here in the UK which grips the hair really well.
I put my hair into a chignon at the nape of my neck and it lasted for a few hours, with me running around the house to test it!
I know it isn't ideal but on the plus side, you have a hair style you can do yourself for the ceremony and then literally let it down for the evening.
Hope this helps, and I welcome any suggestions as I have got just shy of 16 months to go and want to make sure my hair is in the best condition for the proposed style!
Sigh, I know this feeling. My hair will NOT hold curl to save its life, plus if I put product in it, the "greaser" look ruins whatever I'm trying to do with it! I'll probably just do half-up/ half-down and be done with it!
Yet another member of the fine hair club, and I'm not even fortunate to have thick fine hair. I'm going with half up half down, and I am lucky enough that my hair will hold the curl. My hair guy also suggested I do some extensions just for some added oomph. So that is the plan for now!
Mine is also thin but a LOT of hair... which is a curse since all the super fine hair gets weighed down! I am going to reallly work with my stylist. I'm also going for a half-up look.
I have a TON of hair and while it will wave if I let it air dry, I can put it in hot rollers for hours and it will fall falt as a board in my drive to work (about an hour).
The only thing I can come up with is NOT using any sort of conditioner after shampooing it. Then, while still wet, I put in a TON of mousse and warp it in a towel until it's almost dry. Sometimes I blow dry it, other times I just let it air dry. After it is totally dry, I use a very hot curling iron and spray each section as I curl it. I spray it again as I'm taking it off the curling iron and then it goes right on to a velcro roller and is pinned in place. I let the entire thing sit on the rollers as long as I can and then I try to touch it as little as possible once I take the rollers out.
People always say that they can't do that because their hair gets crunchy, but I've never had that problem. When I went to try on my dress, I did that but I used the hot rollers instead of velcro and it seemed to last about as long - I had less time to have it in the rollers then I normally do.
If you can, maybe talk to your hair person and see if you can do a few sessions trying to get the curl to hold - go in the morning and see how long the curl or style you like lasts? Try various products?
Good luck!

I have insanely fine, straight hair that doesn't respond to teasing and products tend to just weigh it down. I struggle with volume and body on a daily basis. At wedding time, humidity won't be an issue, but heat sure will. I'm thinking about either a half updo or some kind of low, loose bun. Fortunately, I have lots of time to figure this out but I thought I'd throw it out there so I can be thinking about it now.
