Hair Trial

February 2nd, 2011 @ 4:17 pm by Mrs. Pashmina

Just a week before our wedding I brought in a few of my inspiration photos to my hair trial. I was choosing between three hairdos so I wanted to try them all. See how they turned out below!

1. The Half Up

It would be a good compromise between my longing for long wavy locks and a crisp updo. Perhaps I could look Grecian and whimsical like the character from Mamma Mia? Or perfectly in place like on Martha Stewart Weddings?

2. The Side Chignon

I love the ballerina bun, but the side chignon is even better because you can also see your bun from the front! And doesn’t that make it that much better?

3. The Side Pony Tail

Sassy, fun and young. I even feel different when I wear a low, side pony—maybe a little country or rock ‘n roll. Or even back to that Grecian idea—I could do it with a loose braid.

That what I was thinking.

This is how it turned out, translated by my stylist R.J. at Roger Joseph’s Salon.

I told R.J. the night before the wedding which one I wanted to go with. It was hard to decide.

Which one would you have picked?

Definitely the small chignon! It’s fun and flirty, but still very elegant!

The side pony looks great and I am partial to the side chignon (large) because that red-headed inspiration photo is one of my faves.
