Q&A Our experts reveal all Beauty FRIZZ-FREE LOCKS How can I tame my frizzy hair and ensure that it remains smooth on my wedding day? Meet the expert: Tabitha James Kraan is the owner of an organic hairdressing salon located in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire and the founder of Tabitha James Kraan Organic Haircare, a brand that’s passionate about organic and natural hair care. Tabitha has more than 30 years of experience and has won many awards. Tabitha says: Hair behaves like a sponge and will absorb atmospheric moisture and change form, to frizz or static flyaway hair. It will become dry and stiff if subjected to frost and extreme cold, especially when coming out of warm environments like your home or office. If your hair is naturally curly or wavy, or if it’s over-processed then this is especially noticeable, but even healthy hair will be affected by these contrasts. Try the Scented Organic Hair Oil from the Tabitha James Kraan Organic Haircare line which is a botanical and highly nutritious hair oil that will restore life and lustre to your locks. The brand was developed to protect the naturally recurring oils and rejuvenate hair and scalp health. Each time you use a Tabitha James Kraan Organic Haircare product, the strands are strengthened, need less washing and become silkier, thicker, shinier, and more resilient. The innovative ingredients and high-performance products rival any synthetic brand and Tabitha James Kraan is certified by the Soil Association and is a Cosmos Organic certified brand.

She’s an internationally renowned award-winning last artist and brow expert and professionally trains every member of her team. When is the best time to have a full set of lashes applied ready for my wedding? Julija says: We always recommend having a full set of lash extensions done at least two to three days before the wedding to be on the safe side. Remember that you have to visit your lash artist for a consultation and patch test at least 48 hours before the booking. A patch test is essential to eliminate any allergic reactions to the products used. The possibility of an allergic reaction is extremely rare after the negative patch test and having them applied a few days before your wedding gives you time to get used to them, ensuring you’ll be looking your best on the day, with no mascara smudging! We advise booking a lash trial for your bridal party too – why not book one as part of your hen party? This will allow everyone to see the incredible results ahead of your wedding.
