wedding hair prep

So I didn't get a chance to blog a lot before the wedding on getting ready for the wedding. I took the week off before the wedding from work. My mom knocked down my laptop, in which I had placed it to be an unsafe spot, and my laptop's power source no longer worked. =(

Anyways...I jacked my dad's netbook and trying to work off of that thing instead for now.

So...I got hair extensions again! The hair style I want requires a little more hair than I have now.

See below for my hair length now.


I was taking a picture of my reflection from the back of the TV in our hotel room at the Mondrian Hotel.

And here I am with the extensions!

Yvone of the Lorian Salon at the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach did another amazing job! She also did my wedding day 'do.

Hair Muses

going back to hair...

I love Naomi Campbell's hair here!!

Love the messy side bun. It looks so effortlessly beautiful! I'll be needing my fringe to cover more of my forehead though.

here's a back-view of Naomi's bun.

As my hair is fine, I am also considering this dainty 'do...dainty in a cute kinda way!

This is also a runner up.

here's my attempt at the messy-ish, elegant side-bun. it took me like 5 minutes to do, and i was driving while i did it...eeeks...

this my 2nd attempt...i don't know if you can tell, but here, I was able to give my hair some volume. it shortly fell out during my fitting though.

a teeny tiny pic...get the picture though?

Results from my hair trial...

it looked great from the back. it was totally not what i had in mind though.

from the side. again...super ornate. a little messy, but hair girl assured me that more care would taken on day-of.

please excuse the face...i did go to the gym that day, and i just applied makeup b/c i looked dead before. anyways, you can't really see the side bun from the front though...like, at all...and the lack of fringe covering my forehead makes me look like i have thinner hair (to me, at least). Not to mention, I look like an old lady...nothing wrong with that, cept, I'm not an old lady...

Girls, be stern with your hair person. Tell them exactly what you want and the way you want it. I emailed my hair girl shortly. I showed her pictures of what I had in mind. I showed her pictures of my attempt, which I loved! I told her that I wanted something more simple but elegant at the same time. I told her that I wanted my fringe to cover my forehead more, and that I don't want any gaps in there.

She took it all as constructive criticism (I hope). And we're going to try again soon...in 2 weeks.

In the meantime, my wonderful coordinator reminded me of my DIY projects, gave me a brief overview on our timeline, reviewed our contracts, set up a preliminary meeting to Saturday, in which we'll be meeting again together with our DJ and do our tasting at the venue this Saturday.

T minus less than month. Holy cow!
