One Week
Before
- Does anyone need a colour? This is the time to organise your final colour application at "angela's mane attraction". If you have chosen an ‘up’ style ensure that the back is properly coloured. With a hairstyle with a parting the colour applied must be focused on this area especially where foils are concerned. We do not recommend doing any drastic changes in colour or cut at this stage. It is too late as a big change will affect the suitability of your dress, colour scheme, make-up and even your partner to be!

- Have a dress rehearsal just to check zippers and bra straps are comfortable with no surprise last minute alterations.
The Day
Before

For baby fine, oily or limp hairs please give your scalp a good brush and shampoo twice then just leave it, don’t condition it! Your hair will be stronger and easier to style if you can avoid washing it on the wedding day.
- If anyone is having their hair blow-dried you are required to wash your hair on the day.
- Plan to go to bed early, consider a relaxing bubble bath and a herbal tea to give you a good nights rest. If you are tired it can affect your skin, eyes and sense of humour.
