Hair

OUR TOP 10 HAIR TIPS...
  1. Use plenty of hair gel or hairspray!
  2. Freshly washed hair is very hard to manage. Unwashed, slightly damp hair is best.
  3. Hair pins are for bun making. 
  4. Bobby pins are for securing loose ends, bangs & hairpieces. 
  5. "Pin as you go." Put hair pins in as you wrap the hair in a bun (see video!)
  6. Select hair pins, hair nets, elastics & bobby pins that match your hair color.
  7. Pull hair up & off the face & neck for photos, dress rehearsal & the performance.
  8. Make several trial runs with hair & makeup prior to the photo shoot. 
  9. Secure tendrils or short pieces to the side of the head. 
  10. Short Hair – Pull the sides back so they won’t fall in your face or create shadows.
  11. BONUS TIP: For Dress Rehearsal & the Performance: Remove all jewelry (except wedding bands), nail polish, hair ornaments (beads, colored clips, adornments like ribbons/flowers that are not part of the costume) & temporary tattoos.
