Went for a trial with the hairdresser for wedding and she put some short layers in the front of my hair to suit the particular style we were trying out. Hated the style and now I have short layers at the front of my hair. I have long enough hair but I am worried now my choice will be limited regards upstyles with the front of my hair having short layers. I have a very high forehead and thought by letting pieces of hair down it would take from this. The wedding is 10 weeks away. Please give me advise I am so upset but don’t want to go back to my stylist if it will be fine. As she is really nice and was only following the picture I showed her. I just didn’t realise that the picture had layers at the front. A very upset and worried bride would be delighted to hear from somebody.

Don’t panic. Your hairdresser sounds nice so maybe talk to her about getting some temporary hair extensions for the front of your hair. Do some research on styles, put them on a file and see if it realistically they can be achieved. Keep an open mind and all will be fine. Enjoy your day

I have long straight fine hair (very fine, lots of it), it doesn’t hold a curl after about 20 mins, I’m a bridesmaid very soon, and was wondering whether a hair piece would help to thicken and maybe keep a curl, what sort of hair piece would I be looking for, and would a half up, half down style work?

Hair pieces are fantastic and if you colour match a real hair piece you can curl it and keep it for other occasions. Get your stylist to put texture into your hair, attach the piece to your crown and pile your hair into it. It will look fantastic!!!

I am getting married in Jan and I can’t figure out how to wear my hair. I have an oval face and long straight hair. It’s going to be a formal evening reception and I do not want an updo. Could you please suggest something?

Getting a bit of Romantic Movement into your hair could be the way to go depending on your dress. A large tong or hot roller set will give you a great wavy result. Do have a practice with your stylist. There are some fabulous hair slides that can be used for some colour and sparkle and make sure your colour is fresh and brings out the best in your skin tone. Ensure the condition is tip top by having treatments and using the best products. Redken is a fantastic range and has products for all hair types. Good luck and enjoy!

I’m about to get married and I’m asking you to help me find the perfect hair style for my wedding. I have a small oval face, big eyes, long nose, not big not small mouth, my chin and forehead have no distinctive marks " I can’t tell what they look like!" anyway everybody sees me notices my small oval long face and my long nose. Can you please help me... thanks.

Sounds like something soft and gentle around your face would be lovely- nothing too scrapped back. Difficult to comment without seeing you but have some trials with your stylist, show them the vibe of your dress and I am sure they will design something lovely just for you.

I have recently gone mobile and want to specialise in wedding hair, can you recommend a good course to add to my portfolio without breaking the bank? I love hair up!

Hair up is essential to learn and a great asset to your skills. I am doing a hair up course for REDKEN in London soon so check out their website for dates!

I have long, thick wavy hair which is highly unmanageable! Can you please tell about different permanent hair styling ways which will make it easy for me to manage?

The Brazilian blow dry treatment we do in the salon is definitely the thing for you. It is a semi permanent anti frizz treatment which lasts up to 4 months. Do some research and find a good salon to do the work for you for great hair every day. Good luck!

I have a full on straight fringe and it is starting to bore me so I was wondering if you could suggest a nice elegant fringe that I could have. I do beauty competitions so I would need it to go up into a little quiff. I would like something new and stylish so I am in with it!

Obviously it is hard to comment without seeing you, but you could go for a slightly slanted fringe to change your look and still be able to put it in a quiff.

Enjoy it!

I have recently had my hair cut short (similar to that of TV presenter, Emma Griffiths). However, I’d like to achieve a matte, texturised effect like Jessica Stroup’s, as seen at the Young Hollywood Awards. Which products should I use? My hair is also quite fine.

Schwarzkopf Essensity Texturising Mud is fab

Enjoy!

For my wedding I would like ankle length curly auburn hair. My hair is currently shoulder length. Do you know any salons who can do this and the cost? As I cannot find any so far!

Wow Katrina! Make sure you let your husband to be know in advance! I like a challenge. You need to find a hairdresser that can do good hair extensions. Colour your own hair to the colour desired then approach either PAK hair world or Hairaisers to find hair the length you need it. Or, you could get a long wig and attach hair extensions to that. As far as I know the longest weft you can get is 26 inches but I could be wrong. As far as salon recommendation I don’t know where you live so that makes it too hard. Have fun! And good luck.

I have thick curly hair but a thin face and I am wondering whether to get short hair or keep it just past my shoulders how it is!

Using the correct products in your hair should calm it down so it doesn’t drown you. I can recommend Smooth" creme by Philip Kingsley to calm it down whether your hair is long or short.
