The other day, I had a bride whose hair was so long and thick, I joked that I needed a hard hat and safety goggles just to tackle her updo! It’s amazing how quickly everything can go from elegant to ‘what on earth is happening?’ when you’re trying to wrangle all that hair. Anyone else have memorable hair disasters on wedding day or wild updo stories?
I’ve definitely been there! Sometimes you just need a good pair of black-out scissors.
How do you keep your brides calm during those moments?
It’s wild how quickly an updo can go from gorgeous to a tangled mess! I always keep a can of strong hairspray for those last-minute saves. It can transform any unruly piece into something manageable.
For those massive updos, I always say, ‘Less is more’ — sometimes it’s all about strategic placement instead of volume! Ever tried using a braid as a base?
