Check out my profile pic. I have worn my hair this way since high school (well over a decade)! The length changes throughout the years but I consistently wear this style. I have never worn extensions, and I have never worn my hair up. So, I am having a hard time picking a hairstyle.
One "never" is coming to an end, my stylist is putting my extensions in next week! I'm excited but nervous. I hope I can deal with it! Here is where I need your help. I have found several styles, and I need help picking the right one for my dress.
I added pics of the veil I ordered from Etsy. Here are some pics of my dress. Try to juxtapose each hairstyle on my body. lol Which one do you like best?


Here's a professional opinion - MERMAID : Compliment a mermaid gown with a clean coiffure, which will also showcase your neck and décolleté.
Here is my opinion - I am one to never go too far away from my original style. When I was choosing my hairstyle, I wanted one I could look back on in 20 years and it still hold a classic, timeless look. I think the loose chignon will look best and not be too drastic of a change in your original look.
My second choice is the Kerri look.. since it's not touching the neckline or shoulders, this would work too.
Remember, you don't want your hair to upstage your dress !
If you have something in mind, please let us know to better pick a hairstyle for you. But, since you want something different than you normally would wear, I would say either pic #1 "loose-chignon" or pic # 5 "zoe"
@sonlove2010- I am wearing a one-tier 34 inch veil. It falls midwaist. I'll upolad a pic of that as well.
Gosh you make me wanna work out! What are you..a size 2??!
I like the karri hilson look!
@ all- it looks likes it's a close race between Kerri & the chignon. You have made my life soo much easier! I love you girls!
The shape is great on you .
Thinking Keri Hilson hair is choice #2- the chignon would be soooo classy!
PS. Haven't you felt butterflys in your stomac yet? Are you nervous about proximity to the wedding date?
Congrats!
