Hello all!!!
I am a 2022 bride and seriously struggling with what to do with my hair. I have naturally curly 3a/3b hair.

What I’m currently struggling with: 1. I am worried that my hair won’t cooperate and it will be super frizzy or crazy the day of2. I want to feel like myself, but I also want to feel bridal and special the day of3. My dress is a bateau neckline with a low back. So I’ll probably do an updo, half up or long braid.
What did you all do ?? Anyone else worried that your curly hair would look bad the day of?

    Thanks Ebony! I've never heard of a lace front wig, what a fun idea! I love the idea of flexibility and something different!

    Yes, frizz is a curly girls struggle! How will you keep your curls to the side? Will you twist and pin them?

    Seriously, the right shampoo will make all the difference!

    Im hoping good shampoo and I just bought a curly hair mask so hopefully that helps. Lol and it recent days decided to not pull it to the side just because its not urging out well, like it did prom.

    You did your homework - that is awesome!! I will definitely check out Facebook groups and Instagram!!

    Your experience with hair trials is so interesting! I wonder why the stylists wouldn't do it exactly like the day of? It's worth asking all the questions and testing out their products as well!

    Both your natural curls and your blow out are beautiful! I love the idea of doing something special for the wedding day, but still looking like yourself!

    Good idea! I've never used Keratin before, but maybe its time to start trying (I have plenty of time before the wedding to experiment) Smiley smile

    What are you using right now? All-day products are a must! I honestly struggle with finding the balance between all day hold and soft, bouncy curls! Are you going to do a blowout for your big day?

    Thanks Veronica! For styling I currently use / rotate between Curl Smith Styling Souffle, Jessie Curl Spiralicious Gel and the AG Curl RE: Coil Curl Activator (current Fav)

    That is a really good idea! Sometimes Pinterest has unrealistic expectations, so a stylists look-book is so smart!

    Yes I totally know San Francisco! I've been multiple times and I have family there! The fog is a year-round struggle! How did you wear your hair ? (in a bun, styled, no style) Honestly, I love the 3c+ hair types big and natural! With the foggy/moody Bay Area it just fits perfectly

    I wore my hair down with big wand curls. I wasn't looking for a silky smooth look so it was blown out but not flat ironed before wand curled, as I still wanted volume.

    Yeah I thought they did it just how it would look day of the wedding, like how the makeup artist did. I actually posted about it on this forum asking. Some brides said some will do it without asking and others won’t because you’re still trying to figure out a style so they’re moving it around and with product it’ll stay set....but def ask them to use the products, Bobby pins, etc they’d use day.
