One of my bridesmaids had very long hair when I asked her to be in my wedding party. She recently got it cut from the middle of her back to the bottom of her ears, which was no big deal, but now, less than two months before my wedding, she got it cut again, she now has a mohawk. How do I tell her that he can't wear her hair like that in my wedding and do you have any alternative hair styles that might help me with her so that she doesn't look off in the pictures?

I am not a hair professional-I specialize in color consulting and makeup-so I can't suggest any alternative hair style for your friend short of wearing a wig. What I can suggest is have someone from your bridal party - preferably, the Maid of Honor - talk to your friend and explain to her that this hair style is inappropriate and doesn't go with the theme of the wedding. Make sure it is done tactfully, so your friend would not be offended. Good luck with resolving the situation! Irina Feygin, IMpeccable iMage, Inc. Image and Beauty and For Princess Bride
Well, I see your dilemma. You may wish to start the conversation by being a friend and seeing if she has something going on in her life. A drastic hairstyle change many times is the result of a break up or some sort of event. A Mohawk is certainly a statement and coming from the angle of concern for her and not for your pictures will get a conversation started that will not cause her to become defensive. Or she may not have not even thought of your wedding. Anyhow, find out first and then lead slowly into the wedding hair talk. She may be able to at least skip the spiky gel and keep it flat. Softly bringing it to the side will have it look like a cute short cut. In any formal shots make sure she is facing forward and not at a side view. Once I had to hide a huge scorpion tattoo on the back of the maid of honor's neck who got a very short cut right before the wedding! You will all have a laugh years from now. Even with great care to classic looks everyone's wedding photos tend to look dated. Flower styles change, bridesmaids colors come and go as does the setting around your photos. I know that so much time and effort and money goes into every detail of your day. Take a deep breath and go with it. If she is willing, send me a photo of her near the wedding and I may have more suggestions. Take care!
