A wedding hair trial gives brides the opportunity to test their hairstyle before the wedding day rather than relying on a last-minute decision. It is a practical part of bridal preparation that can help identify issues with comfort, volume, accessories, texture and hairstyle longevity.
CT Magazine’s Wedding Hair Trial coverage explores what to take to an appointment, including hairstyle inspiration photographs, your veil, hair accessories and information about your usual hair products. Bringing a reference of your wedding dress neckline can also help your stylist understand how the hairstyle needs to work with the wider bridal look.
The trial is also a useful time to test how the hairstyle feels after several hours. This can be particularly important for elaborate updos, heavy accessories or hairstyles that need to remain secure through photographs, dinner and dancing.
Our guides cover different hair types, lengths and textures and encourage brides to use the trial to make practical decisions rather than simply taking photographs of the finished style. A successful trial should leave you with a clearer idea of what feels comfortable, suits your wedding and still feels like you.
