Hair Trial… the Second Round

Hair Trial… the Second Round

August 27th, 2009 @ 1:44 pm by Mrs. Beagle

Last Friday I went to my hair and makeup trial, which I hope to post pictures of soon. Though I loved the makeup, I didn’t love the hair so much. My stylist, Jeanie, did a wonderful job, but because my hair is thick and long-ish, the low updo she styled was a) large and stuck out more than the lovely ‘dos in my inspiration photos and b) was heavy and made my head hurt. Thus, tomorrow I will be going back to the salon where they have graciously allowed me to take part in a second hair trial.

I shied away from trying a style that allowed most/all of my hair to be down because I was concerned about the curls falling or my hair turning into a big fro from the inevitable Texas humidity (*hoping this won’t be an issue at the end of October*). However, I took the updo down within an hour of coming home last Friday and the curls remained intact for the remainder of the day and there will still remnants of them 24 hours later! So tomorrow, I will be going back with more inspiration photos in hand to sit through round two of the hair trial.

I think I’ve decided to leave it all down, with a part on the side. My veil will be worn during the ceremony, after which I would like to some type of headband:

Etsy seller: Be Something New

Be Something New

Etsy seller: Little White Dresser

Etsy seller: Plume and Bloom

Myra Kim of Twigs and Honey

Etsy seller: Velvet Owl

Etsy seller: Tied and Feathered

Etsy seller: Vintage Magpie

Etsy seller: Bethany Lorelle

They are all so very gorgeous! Though the last headband is beautiful, I think it may be a little to vintage for the look I’m going for. On a side note, I just realized I also have a dress fitting tomorrow and it would have been logical to schedule the hair appointment before the dress appointment so that I could see the look all put together (future brides, keep your other appointment schedules in mind!).

Tonight my homework is to hastily put something together based on the inspiration photos I’ve posted here so that I can take it to my hair trial tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Any advice for making your own hair piece?

I love the headband too!! I had a hard time deciding what to wear on my head, and the headband was definitely a contender. The one by velvet owl is absolutely amazing!

Beagle, they’re beautiful! I’ve seen some lovely beaded appliques on http://www.mjtrim.com that would look great on a headband. Can’t wait to see what you come up with! :o)

I ADORE the first one from etsy! I haven’t out much thought into it, but now that you mention it, I probably don’t want to wear my veil all night either! This is a great idea!

I have some easy headband tutorials up on my blog. http://heart-of-light.blogspot.com/
Use the search button on the sidebar and search for “headband” and they’ll all come up. You’ll need ribbon and some thin fabric to play around with, but you could get a mock up of something done in an evening, I think, even if you aren’t used to sewing.

@Rachel (Heart of Light): I thought about you when I was searching etsy because I saw your blog that you just opened an etsy shop! I actually found your belt tutorial via 100 layer cake a while back and absolutely loved it! Thanks for sharing some more information on the hive

I especially like the first two, they look so pretty. I don’t know if I could ever make anything like that! Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

I’m often making headbands … but typically I use ribbon and cross cross it or just tie it around - another option is buying an already-made thin headband and affixing something to it … like a flower, pin, etc … with hot glue or something of the like.
