Here's Part 2 of our Curly Brides Guide for making your wedding hair last all day (and night) long!
Your wedding day is finally here! Congrats!
The dress fits perfectly, the flowers are dreamy, and your curls are the definition of perfection. Now the mission is to keep those curls looking as flawless at 11 PM as they did at 11 AM. Sounds impossible? Not with the right game plan (and maybe a little LOHY. magic).
First off, let’s talk about the potential hair-ruiners: wind that makes you feel like you’re starring in a weather documentary. Heat that threatens to turn your curls into a frizz-fest, and, let’s not forget, those surprise rain showers or coastal storms that arrive uninvited.
Then there’s the endless posing for photos and of course, Aunt Susan's over-enthusiastic hugs aka “death grip”.
No pressure, right?
Here’s the secret: it’s all about preparation.
Start with a strong foundation by using products that work with your curls, not against them. Think hydrating and lightweight products that give hold without weighing down your natural bounce. A generous spritz of strong hold hairspray to finish is a must—LOHY.’s Hold-It Hairspray is basically an invisible shield against the elements.
Pro Tip: If you’re going for an up-do, make sure your stylist adds a little extra hold at key stress points. And if you’re leaving your curls free and wild (love that energy for you!), fluff strategically—too much, and you’ll lose the shape; too little, and you risk your curls falling flat by the reception.
Now, let’s tackle those hugs. Enthusiastic squeezes from family and friends are inevitable, so keep a mini refresh kit nearby. (This is what your bridesmaids are for!) A travel-sized gel or nourishing oil can work wonders for reviving curls that have been squished into submission. Check out LOHY.’s range of travel sized products- perfect to keep in pockets and handbags.
And finally, the photos. You’ll be doing a lot of “tilt your head this way,” “look over there,” and “hold that smile!” all day long. To survive the marathon of poses, take quick breaks to check and adjust your hair if needed.
Bonus: those moments make for adorable behind-the-scenes candids.
Your wedding day is about celebrating! Filled with love, joy, and a whole lot of dancing don't let hair hassles ruin your day. So even if a strand or two decides to rebel by the end of the night, remember this - the beauty of curly hair is its boldness, personality, and its ability to embrace a little imperfection.
Here’s to curls that last, laughs that echo, and a day you’ll never forget.
Love & Hydration. xx
