Repost from '05 brides: My hair dilemma.

I went for my hair trial over the weekend. First, I want to say that I am not a fan of updo's, at least not for myself. Rather than have a tiara with an updo and the veil come out of the back of the updo, I opted to get more of a headband type thingy with a poofy, finger-tip length veil that I can wear on top of my head. When I went to get my trial, I had the girl curl my hair and just pull the sides back so that way I would just have the headband and veil on top of my head. During the reception, I plan to take the veil off so I can just have the lovely, sparkly headband. I have really soft hair, so curls do not hold well. I got my trial at 9 AM on Sat... by 11 AM, my hair looked like I had been attacked by lions. It was half straight, half wavy, and just nasty because of all the hair spray. My FMIL suggested that I just wear my hair down and straight on the day... maybe even curled up at the ends. I thought this might be a good idea, as my hair always looks best after the beautician blows it out and styles it plain. Do you guys think this is a good idea? I don't want to look 'under-done' I have a fairly fancy dress with a cathedral length train and gloves over the elbow, so I figured that if I left my hair plain, it would look okay. I just can't stand over-the-top hair. What do you all think?

I think it sounds like a great idea...I've been considering that myself b/c I don't really like updo's on me. There is an 04 bride who had her hair straight (half up) and she looked beautiful...not underdone at all.

This was her review with some pics.

Maybe your getting your hair done by the wrong person. do you have time to get a second trial? You could do it half up half down...
