tips for finding the perfect bridal hairstyle, according to a hairstylist

THE brides over 40 are now legion, and wedding beauty must adapt to the age of the bride so that it is truly rewarding for her. If we generally think about avoiding the worst makeup mistakes that radically age the face when we prepare our bridal makeup for the big day, we sometimes forget that the wedding hairstyle must also take into account the new nature of the hair and its color when we start to have White hair or that we have a salt and pepper hair.

As Julie Lopez, deputy director of the Dessange training center and hairdressing expertthe whole challenge is then to adapt “to her hair material to sublimate it”. The expert is also clear, “natural white hair is an asset and not a problem”, which we only need to learn to highlight. You are therefore free to choose hide your white hair if you feel like it, or wear them naturally by choosing a bridal hairstyle which will compliment the silvery gray or white color of your hair, without becoming “memerizing”.

White hair or salt and pepper: which bridal hairstyle to wear for a modern and rejuvenating look?

If you have decided to wear your natural white hair and opt for a bridal hairstyle that will enhance it, then you will still have choices for your hairstyle. As hairdresser Dessange reassures us, “we will be able to work on all kinds of volume depending on the bride’s style”regardless of the proportion of white hair in the hair, and its color which can range from salt and pepper to immaculate white hair.

Provided, however, that you take care of it with shampoos, masks and appropriate treatments, to ensure that any unwanted yellowing reflection is eliminated if necessary. “From plated to loose, the result can be very modern with well-maintained white or gray hair” assures the expert. Once well maintained with appropriate care, you may want to leave your white or gray hair loose as it will be resplendent, but also dare to wear half-ties which emphasize your lengths, or even braids which can play with the nuances of your salt and pepper hair which bring dimension to the braiding.

Wedding hairstyle with white hair: the “memerizing” mistake not to make with your bridal hairstyle

If you have chosen to wear your white hair or your gray hair natural, you ultimately have to pay more attention to the style of your hairstyle than to the specific type of hairstyle you have chosen (bun, blow-dry, tie-up, half-tie), as Julie Lopez points out. It is he who can truly determine whether you will have a rejuvenating or memerizing bridal hairstyle.

To highlight yourself with white hair or salt and pepper hair, the Dessange expert recommends“avoid hairstyles that are too classic”, which can pull facial features and make it look harsher.

Available in a multitude of hair colors depending on the brand, it allows you to hide some white hairs scattered here and there in the hair, such as white hairs more localized on the temples for example. Their use is still possible on the entire hair if you have more white hair, but this option is less practical.
