So, we’ve chatted about my makeup trial, and now it’s time to talk about the hair. I was conflicted y’all. I had no idea what I wanted to do. I normally wear my hair down pretty much all the time, so naturally that’s what I thought I should do for the wedding. But then there was chatter about how it would look more elegant if I wore it up. Then there’s the fact that I’m hot by nature, my hair is naturally curly, and Texas can be humid. I was worried that by the end of the night I would look a little something like this:

But I still had to see what I might look like with my hair mostly down, so Erin obliged and here’s what we came up with:

Yeah, I agree, hair down was a bad choice. I knew by the end of the night, I might not look like Serena up there but I probably wouldn’t look good.

Then, we moved on to the updo style. I think the reason I was scared of an updo was because I had visions of prom hair in my head. I definitely left a hair salon crying when I only had a couple hours until my date was supposed to pick me up. But that was the ’90s and I’m sure hairstylists have come a long way since then. So, I was willing to give it a try. I decided that I wanted a loose, side updo with some side-swept bangs. At first, she did my hair in the back, and although I thought it was cute, it wasn’t what I wanted.

Then, she redid it with a more side-swept look. I was much happier.

I wiggled my head to be sure it wouldn’t fall out (it didn’t until a little later and I needed a few extra bobby pins). So, I think it’s settled. An updo with a side swept bang. Stay tuned though, I feel a second trial coming on…

Did your hair trial have you rethinking your original style?
