Wedding Hairstyles for 2007
Every bride-to-be wants to look beautiful on her wedding day. Part
of preparing for your big day is choosing your gown, of course. You
also need to decide on another very important detail -- your
hairstyle. The good news for brides in 2007 is that anything goes.
You can find the perfect style, no matter what type of hair you have
or what kind of gown you'll be wearing. In this article, we'll
explore some of the most popular hairstyles for brides. Let's start
with a classic -- the updo.
 Upswept
Glamour
There are lots of options for the bride who wants to wear her hair
up. Updos work for most every woman, except those with short hair.
If you have medium length to long hair, you are a perfect candidate
for a great updo! First, take your hair type into consideration.
Straight hair looks gorgeous in a simple French twist. You can keep
things sleek and smooth with a dramatic side part, or pull out a few
wispy tendrils to frame your face.
 For
brides with wavy or curly hair, a loose upswept style is very
flattering. Gather the hair at the nape of your neck, twist once,
then pile it all on top of your head and secure with bobby pins that
match the color of your hair.
Try experimenting with different parts to see what looks best with
your face shape. Some women look best with a middle part where wavy
tendrils frame the face, while others look best with a sideswept
part. Sideswept bangs are perfect for a dazzling barrette or
bejeweled clip.
Half Up, Half Down
 The
half up, half down style is another bridal style that looks
fantastic with most every hair length and type, except the very
short.
There are several variations of this style that work for many
different hair textures and face shapes. Pull the top and sides up
and secure with a comb or clip, allowing the underneath and back to
hang freely. For volume, tease the hair at the crown first then pull
up and back, twist and clip.
 If
you're seeking a sleeker style, pull hair back at cheekbone level
and clip without twisting or teasing. Going with your wedding theme,
add flowers or accessories. Bangs will help frame your face the way
you like or simply keep it back-combed for a sleek look.
The half up, half down style is the best of both worlds. Your
gorgeous face and neck are showcased and if you're wearing earrings,
they are visible. It's perfect for the bride who is torn between
wearing their hair up or down.
Long and Loose
 One
of the most romantic styles for brides is wearing the hair down,
with plenty of volume and romance. If you've got straight hair, set
on large hot rollers for long-lasting waves. Before rolling your
hair, apply a volumizing mousse. Allow the rollers to cool, remove
them, and shake out your curls. Gently comb your hair and fluff with
fingers, then finish with hairspray. The look is one of fairytale
romance.
If you're length-challenged, try hair extensions. Today's extensions
are easy to put in and take out, plus they look and feel natural.
One of the hottest brands in hair extensions is HairDo by Jessica
Simpson and her hairstylist Ken Paves.
 A
Few Final Tips
Before deciding on your wedding day hairstyle, try several different
styles and be sure to try each style with your wedding veil to make
sure it works. After a few experiments, you'll know which style is
best for you. If you're planning on getting a cut or color, do so
several weeks before your wedding day to give the new changes time
to settle. Also, this gives you plenty of time to fix things just in
case you don't like the results.
