Hair Trials and Prep

What is a Wedding Hair Trial?

Before the big day, it's crucial to schedule a hair trial with your stylist. This gives you the opportunity to experiment with different styles and find the best one to compliment your features and personality. Remember to bring inspiration photos and any hair accessories you plan to wear so you and your stylist have a clear plan of the look you want to achieve. A hair trial is also the perfect way to judge if you will need to use extensions to achieve your desired look, or whether your natural hair will do the trick!

When Should I Have My Wedding Hair Trial?

We recommend scheduling in 2-3 wedding hair trials, all taking place 2-4 months before the day so you have enough time go back to the beauty drawing board if needed. In the weeks leading up to your wedding, focus on hair care. Treat yourself to regular trims to keep your locks healthy. Cliphair’s Quench The Thirst Collection is guaranteed to have your hair feeling luxurious and shiny in the days prior. Our Deep Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner are haircare staples for any bride, along with our Deep Conditioning Hair Mask. Healthy hair is the foundation for any stunning bridal hairstyle!

When washing your hair during the days before, you’ll want to avoid using products to make your hair overly silky on the day, as it makes it much harder to style and manipulate. We recommend washing your hair the night before, instead of on the day to prevent any styling difficulties or mishaps.

When it comes to colour, we’d advise colouring your hair no sooner than 2 weeks before the wedding unless you’re covering white regrowth with a very dark dye.

Choosing Your Hairstyle Based on Your Wedding Dress

Looking for flawless, salon-worthy hair without breaking the bank? At Cliphair, we’ve got you covered with luxurious clip in hair extensions for quick transformations and permanent hair extensions for long-lasting glam.
