African Hair Styles




Wouldn’t it be great if you were a celebrity bride with a team of stylists? Can’t you just imagine them trying to coordinate your veil with that perfect Juliet topknot! There are many marvelous wedding hair styles for women out there; the trick is in finding the one that suits you best. Walking into a hair salon and pointing to a picture that should be your guideline for the hairdresser may not be the very best approach. In fact it is highly recommended that a bride to be sits with her hair stylists and tests out potential styles before the actual Big Day!

Most brides opt for a formal updo as they think it denotes regality and glamour. With its clean lines and timeless elegance, it has always been a favorite wedding day look. The wonderful thing is that it works well with a variety of veils. There are several things that a bride-to-be may want to consider before selecting a hairstyle. Some include

- Before selecting a hairstyle and veil, it is essential that you take into account the shape of your face. If you have a rounder face, sleeker styles with longer veils will look best on you. Narrow shaped faces are better suited to fuller styles and veils.

- The veils that are longer than your waist are heavy and may be cumbersome also. However if you do opt to wear a long veil, choose a coif with less volume on the top as tighter styles hold up better. A chignon, where the hair is gathered into a roll at the nape of the neck, is a good bet. Another option is the Juliet topknot, where the hair is twisted into a tight coil at the top of the head.
