Every bride wants her wedding to be **perfect**: perfect man, perfect dress, perfect party, perfect hair and makeup. Yet it's easy for brides to neglect personal pampering in the midst of the stress of planning a wedding. As you prepare for your big day, here are some easy tips to make sure your hair is healthy and gorgeous for your big day.
It may be tempting to throw your hair into a quick bun or sling it back into a ponytail while you are running around and taking care of wedding business, but consider this---every time you turn, twist, and tie the hair shaft back, you damage it. Consider softer ways of wearing the hair, such as a cloth headband or a low-slung hat.
Also, put away the hair dryer and curling iron for now! Heat damages the hair shaft, and when you wear your hair more naturally, you minimize the risk of breakage and breakdown. If you don’t have time to let it dry naturally in the morning, wash it the night before and let it dry on a silk pillowcase.
Foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids will promote the health of your hair from the inside out, making you the radiant bride you desire to be. Drinking plenty of purified water and consuming plenty of fruits, vegetables and healthy fats such as coconut, avocado, and almond oils are known to enrich the sheen of the hair shaft. Foods rich in omega 3's such as fish, nuts, and chia seeds will add a healthy radiance to not only your hair, but your skin and nails, too. You'll be glowing from the inside out!
...A hair conditioning cocktail, anyway. There are several excellent products on the market today designed to maximize hair health, and treating yourself to some of these at-home spa treatments will ensure that you make heads turn on your special day. For the best hair treatments, choose to mix up a concoction such as an avocado and coconut oil mask in your own kitchen, treating yourself to a hair spa treatment regularly will ensure that your hair is in "top" condition.
Many hair care products contain chemicals that actually ruin your hair. But just because you’re minding your hair doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style until the big day arrives. Switch your regular hair care products to ones that don’t have these top offenders on their ingredients list:
These chemicals dry out your hair, make it prone to split ends/breakage, and irritate your scalp.
Dry shampoo and hair building fibers can also help give your hair extra volume and texture without resorting to ratting or other hair-damaging practices.

Whether treating yourself from the inside out, or should you choose to enhance your personal style with products such as hair building fibers to enhance volume, there is a wealth of information available to assist you in looking your best. Your day is supremely important--you deserve the best!
