When Should I get a haircut?

If your hair is pretty healthy but may have mild splits, wait to cut your hair AFTER the wedding. Most styles are easier to create when the ends of the hair are a little more tapered and soft. A fresh cut keeps the ends blunt and strong, making the hair harder to work with and lay correctly.

If your hair is pretty damaged, like someone took a match to the ends, consider having a fresh cut and using extensions if length is needed.

The best time to get a trim is 6 weeks before the wedding. A light dusting is the very best option to preserve length. If face framing pieces are desired for the wedding day style then they will need to be cut slightly shorter than desired at this time.

The best cut to have for most wedding hairstyles, the “butterfly cut”— aka face framing layers, that are shorter in the front with long layers in the back sitting between the shoulder blades and bra strap area.

If your hair is very short, very long, or very layered, consider styles with those things in mind.
