Wash hair the morning of wedding?

My hairstylist explicitly told me do not wash hair the day of. She said any good hairstylist will have tons of texturing products and not to worry about it.

It definitely depends on what you're doing. If you're doing an updo, then definitely do not wash it the morning of. You shouldn't be worried about it being oily because they will use product anyways. If you're going for a more natural down look then that might change. Could you do a trial run of your hair to help decide?

Is it possible to do a trial run? Not necessarily go all out and do the exact same style you're doing for your wedding but something close? See if it holds up all day/night?

I usually have the same issue with my hair. My stylist for the day of told me to wash my hair the night before and put a volumizing mousse in it while its wet. I just bought a mousse and Im going to try it a few times before the day of to see how my hair does with it. One trick I've found that works well is if I know I won't have time to wash my hair in the morning, I put my dry shampoo in my hair before I go to bed that night. It seems to do a much better job of controlling that greasy look compared to if I just put it in in the morning. If it still looks a little greasy when I wake up I might spray a little more in just to touch on that. Might be worth trying.

You typically don't wash your hair day-of for updos (they hold better when your hair has some natural oil in it and isn't perfectly clean and slick). If you are having your hair down and it normally gets oily roots, I'd be tempted to wash it the morning of your wedding. If you are used to washing it every day you'll probably notice when you don't and it will be a distraction on your big day.

I usually wash my hair every other day but I also exercise every day and on hotter days or when I'm doing a harder workout I need to wash it more. It's much easier to add product to hair to give it texture than to try to remove oil (although dry shampoo is a bit of a miracle). For updos though, having unwashed hair will actually mean they need to use less product because your hair will naturally be more grippy. I'd talk to your hairstylist but in the end do what is going to make you the least panicky.

My stylist told me not to wash my hair - then I had my trial. He said go ahead and wash it the morning of, because it was GROSS when he did the trial. I washed it that morning. When we got to the salon for our 9 am appointment, my stylist had the shampoo lady wash it again - for the relaxing scalp massage, which was amazing. He put tons of product in, and it held, in an updo, most of the night (and the parts that fell were from the bottom). It held a cathedral length veil during the ceremony at 6 pm. I had to wash it to get the top taken out lol.

All of this to say: see if you can do a trial with washing your hair the day before. Your stylist may change their mind or may stick with it.

I would say if your stylist recommended not to wash your hair, then don't. They can wash it at the salon if need be. Are you getting a hair trial done? They can tell you then what would be best. Either way, they can wash your hair if need be, or "dirty" it up if you do wash it.

What about washing it the night before?
