Meet the expert: Libby Davies is a mobile hairdresser with more than 20 years of experience. She offers top-quality cuts, colours and bridal hair services. Libby says: When it comes to deciding on wedding hair choices, whether it be a curly, straight, half-up, all-up or all-down style, it can be an overwhelming decision to make. Here are my top tips: •Don’t book your trial too early. •Go with a style that you’re most comfortable with. If you usually wear your hair down, choose soft waves or a blow dry. Always remember that you’re just trying to achieve a more polished version of yourself and not look like a different person. •Don’t make any radical colour changes before your big day. if you feel you want to look a bit different then talk to your hairdresser or colour consultant who can guide you towards a high-shine treatment or suggest a slightly brighter or richer colour. •We all love pictures for inspiration but don’t get distracted. Look for styles that suit your hair type. For example, if you have fine hair then search for images of styles for fine hair. •Choose hair accessories wisely because this is the finishing touch and can show your personality. www.hideawayhairstudio.co.uk www.facebook.com/TheHideawayhairstudio www.instagram.com/hideawayhairstudiohighworth EXPERT ADVICE 49
