With my face made up nicely, it was time to let that stand the test of time and move on to the next important step in the “Beautify a Jag” procedure: the hair! I mentioned earlier that the stylist I had booked for the trial, Jenny of Le Fabulous, does both makeup and hair, so we’ll be lucky on the day of to be dealing with just one person. It’s something nice and personal that I am looking forward to.
I had a few different options that I wanted to try for hair, but my toughest choice was whether to go with an up-style or a half-up style. Mr. Jaguar has always been vocal about how much he prefers my hair to be down, but I know for a fact that my long, flat hair doesn’t hold a curl well and gets pretty darn sweaty when I’m moving around. Jenny was kind enough to trial both looks for me, to see which one I preferred.
Before I show you my own hair trials, how would you like to see some of my inspiration pictures? Let’s start with the UP styles.
First up, my penultimate hair design: one I’ve blogged about before, and one that is a favourite of many, many engaged lasses that have come before me. May I present: the twisty curl.
And the beautiful Mrs Avocado’s sleek up-do has always been a favourite of mine:
As for half up styles, I was open to any and all suggestions—like these beauties:
The style we ended up settling on turned out to be nothing like any of the pictures above that I’d envisioned myself wearing on the big day—care to take a guess at what I ended up with?
