Q: "How should I prep my hair before my wedding day?
Could everyone please wash and blow dry your hair smooth the night before. This will help hold factor for up styles or glamour waves. DO NOT using a straightening iron.
If anyone is just wanting a blowdry they can wash their hair the morning of the wedding day.
Wash your hair twice with shampoo and condition mid lengths to ends. Check shampoo and conditoners for silicions, as these will make the hair too slippery and it will not hold style well.
Do not use any products in the hair, e.g. Serums, smoothing creams, argon/morroccon oil etc.
On the day wear a loose button up shirt or robe so your hairstyle is not affected when you change into your dress!
Q: "How should I prep my skin before my wedding day?
Sarah recommends any facials/waxing/tweezing at least 1 week before your wedding day as this can sometimes cause breakouts.
You can lightly exfoliate and apply a hydrating moisturiser the night before. In the morning, gently wash your face and apply a light moisturiser. Avoid any products that contain sunscreen as this can cause “flashback” (a white face). If you don't have anything you think is suitable, do not apply anything and Sarah will moisturise, prep your skin for you before applying your makeup.
