Even during quarantine, we see many people searching for "best bridal hairstyles" and "best bridal hair" as they prep for the big day. COVID-19 weddings will be unique, that's for sure, what with the encouragement of social distancing and wearing masks during any gathering of people. However, no one said you have to change anything about your bridal #hairgoals! So, what do you think you'll be doing? A classic updo? Down and loose? Whether you are going into a salon or trying your look from home, having healthy hair is going to mean the difference between the best shine and strength for your bridal hair look. Check out our carefully curated list of current bridal hairstyle trends for some inspiration!
Bridal Hair 2020
What speaks to you? When you look through these bridal hairstyles, which style sparks the most joy? One of the awesome things about social media is the wide expanse of people and cultures and inspirations you can draw from to get the best, most beautiful hair!
Up or Down?
Do you gravitate toward the updo or something down?

Ingredients to look for...
Charcoal in a hair product?
If you settle on an updo, consider how much product you will likely have to use to make it happen. Hairspray, texturizers, gels, and hair wax are all used to keep hair in perfect place. These are great for styling, but absolutely terrible for hair health! You'll need to detox your hair and scalp afterward, so think CHARCOAL for your hair. Luckily, our SAVE ME FROM Product Overload features charcoal as well as black kaolin, both perfect for a detox. Take one of our 15mL mini deluxe SAVE ME FROM Product Overload treatments with you to detox your hair while you relax on your honeymoon! (Pro tip: it actually works GREAT as a texturizer on its own! No need to use something harmful to get the look you need!)
Marine Brown Algae?
It might sound unusual...but we stand by the heat protective properties of such a crucial ingredient in our SAVE ME FROM Thermal Obsession! Marine life brings life, shine and strength back to damaged hair with the added bonus of superior heat protection.
Carob Seed and Vegetable Protein
These ingredients are only in our SAVE ME FROM Chemical Conflict, one of our bestselling products designed to combat damage due to chemical treatments like bleach, dye, and relaxants. A protein-rich, chocolate-like seed and a vegetable protein pump up hair strength by helping to reduce porosity and delivering total anti-breakage benefits. Strength and color stay in, weakness out!
Braids or Buns?
What about a bridal braid or bridal bun?

Classic or Boho?
Or are you more of a classic bridal hairdo or boho chic?

Whatever you choose, we hope you remember the 3 basics of taking care of your hair so you can really rock those expensive wedding photos!
Taking Care of Wedding Hair
1. Getting some root touch ups, or some highlights to brighten the look? You're going to need to strengthen your hair to avoid breakage and split ends! Do a treatment of Chemical Conflict before you go on for that appointment, and another treatment that night! This will ensure that your hair is strong enough to handle the rest of the wedding look!
2. Once you are ready to start blow-drying, curling, or straightening, you'll want to make sure you don't completely dry out your hair, or you'll start seeing more breakage, as well as frizz and flyaways. Our Thermal Obsession does a beautiful job completely rebuilding those bonds on the inside of the hair shaft and then laying down the cuticle for shine and seamless combing. You can use it as a heat protectant, or a 30 minute wash out treatment right before.
3. As I mentioned above, if you need a little texture for braiding, you might like our Product Overload as a replacement for those harmful chemically infusing texturizers on the market (or worse, hair spray!) However, if you opt into using some styling products, just do a quick 10 minute detox with Product Overload to restore freshness, and cleanse your scalp fully before enjoying your honeymoon!
