Get an eyeful... brides hair styling

Do it Hollywood Style when you're wearing your hair up!

I don't agree with the "hair stylists" who insist to "soften" the face they leave a few strands or locks of hair to hang down a brides face. This is a pile of you know what..... if the hair is up; the hair should all be pinned up. If your hair isn't long enough - you can use extensions.

Sometimes, you'll see this kind of "styling" in the glossy fashion or bridal mags. It works for them because out of sight there are two stylists and a photographer shouting at them to the fix the hair every time it moves. I've done those shoots.

I think the problem is that the main styling is done in a chair in front of a mirror. The tragic moment only happens when the bride steps outside and on to the red carpet - if there are two locks or strands left hanging - they WILL move in the wind. And, when they move, they will naturally fall forward and in front of the brides eyes every time!

You've got to ask your stylist; if this approach is so effective in making a great look; why doesn't Hollywood use this?

The girls who really trade on their looks (in a good way!) like Catherine Zeta Jones, Charlize Theron or Paris Hilton - you never see them with two strands hanging over their faces... Because they know exactly what will happen - they don't want to spend the day or evening flicking or pulling the hair out of their eyes....

So, don't let your stylist do it to you either!!!!!
