One area we’ve already seen this hairstyle make a comeback according to stylist Alexandra Wilson is in bridal trends. Wilson confirms the pouf is back and here to stay as evidenced by her recent bridal requests. “You can’t go wrong with volume! I love to give clients some volume in the crown area, it flows so nicely with almost every hairstyle.”
Instead of relying on a Bump It, Wilson uses a classic teething method paired with Nioxin Thickening Spray for best results. For her brides, she likes to incorporate the voluminous pouf towards the crown of the head, creating a modernized yet classic reverse pouf.
2022 will see a great increase in weddings and a return to more classic styles. With roughly 2.5 million planned weddings demand for venues, photographers, makeup artists, and hair stylists has skyrocketed. Wedding hair stylist Alexandra Wilson agrees, “The 2022 wedding boom is real! It will be one of my busiest seasons yet, it was the fastest I have ever booked up. I was fully booked for weddings throughout 2022 by winter of 2021.” To get ahead of the busy season Wilson is sharing some of her top tips.
Wedding Season Tips:
- Be selective about hair ties - avoid putting your hair up when it's wet, which can lead to breakage, and opt for hair scrunchies when possible.
- Get your hair trimmed regularly to eliminate split ends.
- Limit the use of heat on your hair - when you use heat, always use a heat protectant.
- Sleep on a silk pillowcase, with your hair in a braid - this helps hair retain moisture and causes less friction and tangles, which results in less damage and breakage.
- Apply NIOXIN Night Density Rescue before bed – this product will help increase your hair’s density and thickness, reduce hair fall, help nourish hair and prevent breakage.
Bride Specific Tips for Wedding Season:
- Gather hair inspiration photos - always search for examples with your hair color and length.
- Look through Pinterest for ideas - keep in mind many photos are styles with extensions. If you are not comfortable wearing extensions, try NIOXIN Diamax Advanced hair thickening treatment to give instant fullness.
- Try on your dress and play around with your hair - consider hairstyles that show off the detail of your dress.
