Your Herts and Beds Wedding - April/May 2021 (Issue 85)

Fashion and beauty Q&A Our experts give their advice to help you look your big-day best LUSCIOUS LOCKS How can I restore my colour-damaged hair in time for my wedding day? Colour damage can make your hair look dry, dull and lead to breakage – not exactly what you want for your special day! You can do a few things leading up to the wedding from home to get your healthy hair back, but your hairdresser should also be able to give you some options. Depending on how far away the special day is, make yourself a ‘hair journey’ and remember your locks go through a six-week cycle. Here are a few easy steps to follow... ❤ Invest in a bond-restoring shampoo; Olapex is the best. ❤ Use weekly conditioning treatments with natural products like coconut oil. ❤ Book your haircuts in advance, as regular trims can improve your hair’s overall appearance and eliminate any split ends. ❤ Talk to your hair colourist about using low ammonia or even ammonia- free hair colour to avoid further damage! Emma Horsley | Emma Kim Hairdressing www.emmakimhairdressing.com A PASSION FOR FASHION My mum is so excited about our wedding and wants to look her best; what mother-of-the-bride outfits are currently on-trend? With weddings coming back and non-essential retail being allowed to open after the Government lift the restrictions, now is the perfect time to look for that special mother-of-the-bride outfit. Here at Cream of Royston, we have excellent stock for all occasions and budgets. Dresses and jackets, preferably with sleeves, are still very much in demand and Condici and Ispirato both have a fantastic selection available. It is also popular to have a stand-alone dress with a statement hat. No matter what, the outfit must be comfortable to wear. It’s a good idea for the couple’s mums to discuss what colour they’re wearing to look and feel a million dollars without worrying about matching. We offer a free alteration service on all full-priced outfits purchased. Lingerie is available to buy simultaneously; it’s just as important to have the right garment underneath your clothes.
