Hair Trial.....umm???

[Bia]

I love it. It does look thinner at the bottom but not in a bad way. I, personally, don''t love extensions, so if you don''t need them, don''t bother.

You have such a beautiful skin and coloring!

I am so jealous right now!

 

[violet3]

You look incredible - i actually love the hairstyle just the way it is

 

[Maisie]

You look beautiful! I love your hair colour. You look gorgeously bridal without being over the top or too over done.

Thank you for your support on my other thread. I really appreciated it.

 

[Kim N]

kama, you look gorgeous! I love the hair style and think it looks perfect on you!

 

[kama_s]

Thank you for all the sweet comments! Whatever will I do without my PS ladies?!!! I am happy to know the style is a keeper! Saves me the hassle to figure out another hairstyle and schedule another trial!

Gypsy: Thank you! You''re right, I''m just not used to having my hair so big and all done-up. In the pictures it doesn''t look all that gigantic, I dont think. But just personally, I need to get comfortable with the style the day of. I think when I have the entire ''look'' going with the dress, make-up etc, I''d probably feel less conscious. I remember your hair trial, you looked amazing! I''m glad I''m not the only one with that concern, you''ve eased my mind tremendously!

PilsnPinkysMom: Thanks

Kittybean: Danke! I was a little concerned with the amount of product she had on me...i mean, it seemed like she used half a can of hair spray!

It felt SO weird to touch, but that didn''t come across in the pictures...*phew*

bee*: Aww, thanks! I wanted it to be softer because my dress is soft and flowy too. I''m glad you feel it reflects that.

CDNinNYC: Thanks, girl!

lliang_chi: Haha, you''re too sweet! Thanks for your vote of confidence

Mediterranean: Thank you so much for easing my mind! I think I''m just over-analysing and stressing at this point. Half the reason was probably because of the concerns that you listed - I felt like she did a somewhat half-assed job, and I don''t want to be stressed the day of the wedding. I think I''ll send her all the pics and let her know my concerns. I also discussed timing with her, and i made sure she''d come by early enough to avoid any last minute stresses on the day of the wedding. I''ll definitely go over the scheduling with her once again closer to the date!

Bia: Haha, you''re just too kind! You can totally take me skin and colour and run with it

I''m not crazy about the extensions myself. I think I might just opt against them on the day. I hope my hair grows a teeeeeny bit more by then!

Violet3: Thank you!

Maisie: Thank you for sharing your opinion! And you know, I only spoke the truth

Kim N: Thanks!

And finally, front view...at the end of the night (so around 7 hours after I had my hair done).

aww, your hair looks fabulous and you are so beautiful!

 

[newbie124]

Ditto what everyone else said about the hair...very pretty and romantic. Don''t think it''s too much at all. And p.s. you are so CUTE!

 

[kama_s]

Skippy and newbie: Thank you, and thank you

You guys are awesome!

 

[EmptyLeftHand]

It looks super. Your hair is a beautiful colour - really looks great in the outdoor pic.
I couldn''t actually spot the extensions when I first looked at the photos, so with a bit of attention as theother suggest, it will be wonderful!

 

[tlh]

I LOVE YOUR HAIR! Wow! The color, and the body, and just the trial run. Wow - it really is BRIDAL!

 

[cakeny]

I love it. Ditto to all the posters commenting on your hotness! I personally do not mind extensions and don''t think they look too long, but I''m a big fan of loose romantic curls and long hair that can support that.

LOVE.

 

[kama_s]

Aww, thank you so much for the kind comments EmptyLeftHand, tlh and cakeny! I''m glad you guys think it looks bridal! Also glad the extensions dont look too out of place. Maybe I''ll keep them and ask my hair stylist to try and put it together so it doesn''t look too thin in the bottom. I love big, romantic flowy curls too

I''m glad I got one other thing scratched off from ''THE LIST''!

 

[Gypsy]

I'm glad I was able to help

. You know what else helped me? From the time of my trail to the wedding I dressed my hair on weekends (during the week it's back in a clip) and spent time making myself up, getting used to how I look. Helped my fiance too, the day of my trial he was SHOCKED by the amount of makeup I was wearing (just the eye makeup) because even when I go out I wear a max of shadow, thin liner, mascara and the shadow is usually very subtle. But we both got used to me looking dressed up and then on my wedding it just felt very glamorous, but still me. You know?

EAT: BTW... the sheer amount of the product in my hair was astonishing. First the mouse (I washed my hair the morning of and dried it with a hair dryer before she came over). My MUA sectioned off my hair, sprayed each piece as she put it into curlers. Then sprayed it again. Then it set. Then she sprayed each sprayed each strand as she unwound it. THEN she brushed it out. THEN she took a curling iron to it AND sprayed each strand. THEN she brushed it out again. THEN she styled it. And sprayed it.

3 hours (including my makeup but the makeup was like a 1/2 hour on the day of).

What a great idea! I think I''m going to try that on weekends! I''ll try and tease my hair, curl it and hair spray the heck out of it! Hopefully I dont end up looking like Cruella Deville

 

[Gypsy]

You are way to pretty and genuine looking for that.

 

[kama_s]

Ha ha, let''s not challenge me

 

[arjunajane]

I agree with the others that your hair (and you!) look gorgeous, but the externsions need some attention.
One thing that stood out to me is that they are quite a distinctively different colour than your hair - so I hope that
she plans on matching that better?

Apart from a few improvements to the extensions, you are good to go!

They are??

I actually bought the extensions on my own (I know, silly of me), and from what I can see (and I''ve stared at them for hours), the colour matches perfectly. I''d love if you could point out in which picture and where they look different....maybe Im just not able to see it

Thanks, arjunajane!

I think they look gosh awful close! I looked back again and upon very careful inspection, the extensions are the same color but lack the natural highlights we have in our natural hair. So when I look at your hair in the sunlight, your own hair has a golden glistening to it the hair extensions do not. Does that make sense? Honestly, if you trim the extension where it is obvious they look a bit thin at the bottom, I would have never noticed you had them at all!


ETA: I thought I posted before

So BTW, I think your "do" is gorgeous! Really timeless, classic, and sexy for your wedding day! And I saw your dress thread today, gorgeous! I love seeing somebody over a size 6 in a dress because I am going to have a hell of a time finding dresses in my size to try on as well! (And my friend got the "just hold it up" line of BS as well! Oy!)

 

[Kelli]

Wow! I actually think it looks quite beautiful! Get those extensions trimmed (if you still need to at your last cut&color) and I think it looks perfect! You look so gorgeous!

 

[Bia]

I think, from one picture in natural light, your hair looks a tiny bit more golden than the hairpieces. To me, anyway, it looks like your hair has more depth in color. BUT, it is about as good a match as you can hope to get without a custom match.

I love the way it looks. I also think you''ll look just as lovely without them, because your natural hair is lovely.

 

[kama_s]

Hmm...I see what you guys mean. I think I''ve only looked at my extensions in the light at home, an not daylight. Maybe I can have my hair stylist colour/add highlights to the extensions to match my hair colour? I looked at it again today and I didn''t think the difference was too noticeable. I''ll take it to my hair stylist and see what she suggests.

ilovesparkles: Thank you for the sweet comments. Trust me, I wasn''t looking forward to dress shopping because I didnt want a simple A-line and I didn''t want even the slightest poof. I thought I was going to be SOL. I think with higher sizes women try and cover their shape, when we should be flaunting the curves we got! I''m so glad the person helping me at the salon I bought the dress was putting me in beautiful dresses that accentuated my curves. I had a dress fitting today and it looks beautiful, hugs me in all the right places!!

Kelli: Yep, still have that last cut to do, and maybe I''ll give my extensions the cut & colour too! Thank you for the kind words

Bia: You''re right. There is a slight difference when I''m under the sun, my hair is a bit more shiny I guess. I dont think I can get a better match unless I colour the extensions! I''m seriously considering forgetting about the extensions all together. Let''s see how my hair is doing in another 2 months, after I get the last cut. It''s also such a hassle, and I dont want to be reminded all night long to be carefull of my extensions. Oops the bride just lost a chunk of her hair!!

 

[LadyBlue]

I really like the hairstyle, it''s really lovely, I will just cut a bit the extentions were the hair looks too thin.

 

[Dreamgirl]

I really like it a lot. You have beautiful hair!!
