HOT CLIMATE HAIR STYLING TIPS |
|
With a few adjustments your"Destination Hairstyle" can be beautiful, durable and photogenic. Here are a few tips ... |
|
Wearing your hair up is sophisticated, elegant and not too great a challenge in a tropical environment, as when put up it retains moisture and is relatively protected. Apply light hair spray with sunscreen and make sure the style is adequately secured to prevent drooping.
Pay close attention to accentuating tendrils, if you like them loose you may find that you have to use a smaller, tighter curl barrel size for the look to last longer

| DOWN STYLES |
Long and flowing is very beautiful but will need a little help for durability particularly for a morning wedding when the sun will be at its highest for the main part of the occasion. Do not apply to much oil to the hair beforehand as this will tend to weigh down your style but a light application of gel is acceptable. Try to avoid getting too near the scalp with hair product, concentrate on the middle down to the ends specially on fine hair.
A wet set will last longer in a hot climate than using curling tongs the day of the wedding. If you are planning on straight and sleek look blow dry straight or apply flat iron techniques and wrap hair smooth with a satin cloth, allowing time to settle and enhance shine

| SHORT STYLES |
Adorable and classy look with an element of fun. Short hair is relatively easy to maintain but still needs to be protected to look its best. However be mindful of over application of products, remembering that your hair is short and will not require the generous dollop of longer tresses. |

Be adventurous with your "Destination Wedding" and become a true island bride. Be playful, include braids, twists and cornrows to beautify and add texture to your style. Accentuate your hair with natural, local flowers which are abundant and rich with lively, vibrant colour.
Take advantage of the warm sunshine with fresh breeze and reduce on blow drying, opting instead to allow your hair to dry naturally. |

A COMPROMISE |

PREPARATION TIP |
For outdoor weddings and the beach consider going half way in between with an up-down style. Wear the front of your hair up either in an elaborate bun or a high partial pony tail for dramatic elegance, leaving the back down. This will avoid loose hair around your face which can get messy on a windy day but still give you the advantage of the long, flowing look.
Don’t let the breeze spoil your dreams of a romantic look; enjoy loose buns, chignons and stunning side sweeps. Just remember to adequately fasten and if possible apply a light covering of holding gel or spritz with sunscreen for extra security.

|
Remember to address what you will be wearing while preparing your hair and face
for your wedding.
Opt for a wrap around garment or similar which fastens to the front, to prevent ruining your hairstyle and make-up by pulling the garment over your head. |
