Balcom Wedding, Chelan, WA

Cassidy asked me to do her hair for her wedding at Lake Chelan, Washington and I LOOOOOVE doing wedding hair so I was happy to be there for the event. She wanted long, loose curls and as we all know, curling your hair brings your hair up shorter so Cassidy purchased some simple clip in extensions to add length to the curls for the wedding. Clip-ins are the way to go if you want to leave your hair down but aren’t happy with the length once it’s curled. You can put in the extensions the morning of the wedding and take them back out afterwards, no harm and no damage done to your scalp or hair unlike regular track or bond extensions. I refuse to do any other type of extension on my clients because they are too hard to maintain for the average woman, and they cause more damage to your hair and scalp than good.

Back to the wedding hair… Cassidy had ideal hair for a wedding style because she had highlights and lowlights, which capture well in photography so you can see the texture of the hairstyle. I highly recommend getting some type of highlight and lowlight in your hair before your big day so your beautiful hairstyle can be captured in your photos and it does’t look dull or flat. This is especially important for brunettes.

I used a 1 inch curling iron on Cassidy and curled all her hair on the outside of the barrel, rather than using the clamp. She wanted some of it up and we added a small braid for an accent as well as a clip. I always use a flexible hold hairspray while curling and pinning until everything looks perfect and then use a firm hold hairspray at the end.
