Growing up with big frizzy hair was such a challenge for me, I hated it! It was all about the smooth sleek flat-ironed look and here I was with hair bigger than my body! And it was thick and coarse to boot. Well as I grew up and read more fashion magazines I realized that big hair was actually a blessing. I started to embrace my hair and instead of fighting it I worked with it. I learned to tame the frizz with out making my head look greasy, smooth the waves into submission and found a hair cut (after several awful ones) that suited my hair type. Ah, at last I was happy with having big hair. After all, it’s what every girl obsesses over, that full head of bouncy big hair. So if you have it flaunt it, love it, tease it!
At the moment big 60′s-80′s inspired hair is the big trend. Sexy bouffant, retro bee hives, shocking crimped frizz, amped up bouncy curls and waves like Adele’s are all the rage. The wedding industry is mostly classic looks that change ever so slightly. Brides sometimes feel intimidated to try something new and unconventional but it only takes one or two daring brides to revolutionize a new look before every one else follows suit. Big hair for your big day is a beautiful choice. Big hair is one of those hairstyles that is a statement; it says you’re not afraid of showing of your curves, that you’re all woman and aren’t afraid to show it.
These hairstyles are pretty inspiration for your engagement shoot or boudoir session. Just pick a style that is reminiscent of the era you’re styling the shoot after, 60′s bombshell, 70′s fox or 80′s glam. Go big all around and pair big hair with a sultry smokey eye, full lashes and a pouty mouth. If you have fine hair and want to add fullness or have short hair and want to add length, clip in extensions are a quick temporary fix. Due to it’s popularity, blogs and beauty websites have been offering up tutorials for big hair, like this one for those girls with fine flat hair or this one for over-night full bouncy curls.
These gorgeous examples are different ways that big hair can be worn. A popular choice thanks to Spring 2012 runway trends is retro chic. Smooth and wavy parted down the middle a la Zooey D. or ratted and disheveled a la Brigette B. are sweet looks. Half up, all down, pinned or secured with a headband, either way there are a few tools and tricks to getting it there. Below are our favorite three tools to get big sexy hair.
* Tease: The Philips Teaze 3 row back comb takes all the work out of teasing and creates lots of volume with little effort.
* Pin: Securing your do is crucial, once you have a bump like you want it make sure it stays there. Strong hold bobby pins like Marianna Supreme Bobby Pins work great.
