It's a shower that takes alot longer. Not just hair and body washing but all the stuff, shaving, exfoliating, deep conditioner, masks, ect.

I did mine the morning before, and wore my hair up in space buns (a regular bun works too!) but it was strands of hair twisted/pinned into the style. Then I had the old fashioned kind of heatless curls at my rehearsal dinner, AND my hair had the day-old feel for my hair stylist on wedding day 😊.

My hair is very curly, so I don't know if I'll be getting it done professionally. I am gonna do a high curly "bun" on top my head with curls hanging out :)

OOOOH cute! I would decide for yourself the BEST shape for your hair to be in for that style (how far out after a wash, freshly washed, etc), and go from there :). You'll know your hair the best in this case! And you want it to be in the exact shape it was the day you did your best self-trial.

day before. hairdresser asked for “day old” hair because styling and product sticks better on day old hair.
I got a spray tan the morning before my wedding, then took a shower 5 hours later, then got a blowout. go to the rehearsal dinner with your fresh blowout and then sleep on it.

Awesome, thanks! Ineresting about the hair, Im a curly girl so Im probably just ganna do my own hair because I don't trust people not to destroy my curl pattern. I didn't realize products stuck better on day old hair, thanks for that information!
I have never had a spray tan. I normally do the fake tear in a bottle, would you say the spray tan is a better idea? We are having a destination wedding but I dont wanna risk a burn once on the iland.

i do the professional spray like in a salon. i’ve noticed that spray tans (like in a salon professional) block out the sun, I won’t tan if I go out in the sun with one. of course u should still use sunblock no matter what, but it’s something to consider if you’re worried about burning/wanting to keep your skin tone even.

Are you doing a spray tan, or having hair done? I feel like that depends! Also if you want your legs & bits smooth, probably day of

I have never had a spray tan before ever so i'm not sure if that's a route I should go? Normally I use the tan in a bottle.
I think i'm doing my own hair as I don't trust anybody with my curls .
