#1: Pick a Style That Suits Your Personal Hair Type

What are the things you should consider that make each person’s head of hair unique and their own? Length, texture, density, and cut should all be accounted for when choosing your hairstyle inspiration.

Let’s talk about length! Short hair is typically above the shoulder, while medium hair falls past the shoulder. If your hair reaches past the bottom of your shoulder blades or below, you have what is considered long hair.

Texture is the next piece of the puzzle. Would you describe your hair as straight, wavy, or curly? And how much do you have on your head? That is what we refer to in the hair industry as hair density!

When you keep in mind your haircut, you are ensuring that you are setting realistic expectations for yourself and your stylist. A cut that is more layered may be better suited for a more textured style. A style that is all one length may need a little fine tuning or face framing at your next appointment if you are drawn towards more wispy undone styles.

#2: Keep in Mind the Weather for the Location of Your Ceremony and Reception

If you are having a ceremony or reception outside this one is especially important. Each time of year has its weather advantages and disadvantages depending on the specific area. For example, while summers in East Tennessee make for incredible clear views of the mountains, the humidity is a force to be reckoned with that time of year.
