Did your wedding hair match exactly like your inspiration photo?

Can you show me photos? How anal were you to have it match exactly? YES, another hair question, sorry but I've been obsessing about this. I didn't realize I was SO picky.

YES, another hair question, sorry but I've been obsessing about this. I didn't realize I was SO picky. My first stylist didn't do a good job with my hair so I got a second stylist (who I typically go to for cut/color/curls) and he did a WAY better job (see previous posts lol) and is only charging me $60. It made me relieved because I didn't want to spend almost $300 on a trial, hair, and travel fee. Anyway, his work was much CLOSER to my inspiration photo on Pinterest but not the same...Before going to him I've tried researching stylists on WeddingWire and even their side swept work wasn't exactly what I wanted when I showed them my inspiration.

I feel like it's missing something but I don't know how the braid/weave is done where the accessory sits? It doesn't help that my mom saw it and said it was too plain. Smiley sad

Excuse the frizz, this was after I was running around for 8 hours at work, it held up pretty good actually.

    Unless you have the exact same hair type, color, volume, texture, length, density, etc as the model in your inspo pic your hair is not going to look the same. You should be happy with how the end result looks and not concerned with whether it matches another picture exactly. If you like how it comes out - that is what matters.

    I have my trial coming up on March 13th and I am panicking that I wont like it already . I have long hair but it is very fine . Does anyone have recommendations for extensions?

    I asked him to add in a pin/weave look at the back which he said is easy. I think we were so focused on the front matching the front inspiration I forgot to remind him my inspiration photo of the back photo (which was a week or two prior). So I think it should be an easy add. I think I just don't want it flat in the back and just add some kind of dimension.

    I would buy some just in case. Human hair would be best. Ask your stylist before the trial.

    I have been considering just wearing my hair completely down as well because I think I will feel more like myself! I keep seeing the hair pinned back behind one ear with a "down" style so it's refreshing to see your style. I always fuss and run my fingers through my hair, so I know I'll be more likely to do that if it's all the way down, lol. Did you find that your curls held up throughout the day? Do you remember what products were used? It looks very soft with a lot of movement, which I love!

    I was shocked at how well my curls held up, because my hair usually doesn't hold a curl very well. thank you! I am not sure exactly what products she used, but there was a TON of hairspray. my hairstylist also had me wash my hair and air dry it that morning, so maybe having very clean hair helped! I am so glad I decided to wear my hair completely down because it was so comfortable and I really felt like myself!
