Wedding Hair: It's an "I Do," Not Overdo

(ARA) - It's your big day and you want to look your best, but there's no time to worry about your hair. You're busy planning and celebrating, your hair needs to cooperate through it all.

Natural, healthy hair is always in style, so make the most of what you have without overdoing it. Getting the look calls for the right styling products.

Paul Mitchell has developed a new hairspray as part of its Express Style line. Worked Up is a revolutionary high-speed styling product that features a unique blend of styling agents that reduce drying time while creating flexible hold without stiffness or build-up. Use on damp hair to build body and prepare for styling, or touch-up a finished look for a beautiful, natural appearance.

"Paul Mitchell makes creating star-worthy hair for my celebrity clientele a snap. The high-performance, straightforward products are totally user-friendly, and can easily be used to recreate looks at home," says Lucie Doughty, celebrity stylist to Elizabeth Banks and Editorial Director for Paul Mitchell.

To achieve the best styling results, create a schedule that includes professional services and products for the month leading up to the big day.

Keep it ... Dirty
Don't wash your hair the day of the ceremony, as it can make it hard to handle for an updo. Cleanse hair the evening before and opt for a shampoo that thoroughly cleanses without stripping nutrients.

Go Soft
Conditioning is important for soft, healthy hair. Slightly to severely damaged hair that undergoes processing services requires more conditioning than fine, healthy hair that could get weighed down. It's best to speak with a stylist to determine the best solution for your hair type.

The Cutting Edge
Starting with a great cut is the best foundation and it's worth the investment since it will require less styling. To keep it fresh, schedule a final trim for two weeks before the wedding.

Does She, or Doesn't She ...
It's not recommended to change hair color within two months of the big day. You want to look like the best version of yourself. To update your existing color, visit a stylist two weeks before to touch-up roots.

And a final wedding day tip: wear a button-down blouse to the salon so the updo won't be ruined when you're changing into your dress.
