Why is a Wedding Hair Trial Necessary?

5 Reasons You Will Want A Wedding Hair Trial

As your special day approaches, there's no denying that the excitement levels are soaring high. Amidst all the wedding preparations, one essential aspect that every bride should consider is a bridal hair trial.

A bridal hair trial is a pre-wedding appointment where the bride gets a sneak peek of how her hair will look on the big day. While you might be tempted to skip this step, there are several important reasons why a bridal hair trial is necessary.

It’s not often people ask if they can skip their trial, but a trial really is as important for you, as it is for me.

Here is why I insist on a wedding hair trial appointment:

1. Visualize Your Dream Look:

A bridal hair trial allows you to bring your vision to life. It's an opportunity to discuss your ideas, share your hairstyle preferences in a relaxed environment. By experimenting with various hairstyles and incorporating your ideas, I can create a personalised bridal hairstyle that is right for you.

2. Eliminate Surprises and Anxiety:

Getting a hair trial helps eliminate any surprises or last-minute anxieties on your wedding day. Since every bride's hair is unique, what you have in mind may not always translate as expected.

A trial session gives you the chance to see different styles on yourself, make adjustments, and fine-tune the hairstyle until it's exactly what you desire. This way, you'll have peace of mind knowing how you'll look on your wedding day, leaving no room for unexpected surprises or disappointments.


3. Time for Collaboration and Communication:

Communication is key when it comes to hairstyling. This is really important to me. During the trial, you can openly communicate your thoughts, ideas, and concerns. By working together and sharing feedback, you can ensure that we are on the same page. Trust and understanding are built through this collaborative process, enabling me to tailor the hairstyle to suit your individual features, preferences, and comfort level.


4. Testing the Durability:

A bridal hair trial also serves as a test run to determine the durability of the chosen hairstyle. You can assess how well the hairstyle holds up throughout the day, especially with movements, hugs, and potential weather conditions. By identifying any potential issues during the trial, you and your stylist can make necessary adjustments to ensure your hair stays flawless throughout the entire wedding celebration.

5. Coordination with Other Aspects:

A hair trial allows you to coordinate your hairstyle with other elements of your wedding day, such as your dress, veil, accessories, and makeup. By having a clear vision of your hairstyle during the trial, you can make informed decisions about these other aspects, ensuring a harmonious and cohesive overall bridal look.

In conclusion, a bridal hair trial is an essential step in your wedding planning process. It provides you with a chance to visualise your dream look, eliminate surprises and anxieties, foster collaboration and communication with your stylist, test the durability of the hairstyle, and coordinate with other elements of your wedding day.

By investing time in a hair trial, you can ensure that you walk down the aisle feeling confident and beautiful.
