Someone, PLEASE help me. I am getting married in 3 weeks. About 2 or 3 months ago I began telling all the bridesmaids that we are going to be wearing our hair half up and half down and curled. Well, yesterday one of my bridesmaids, whom I have been friends with since kindergarten, called and asked how she is suppose to have her hair. I told her and she acted like a 2 year old. She asked if she could wear it braided. Then she asked if she could wear it all up. Then she said it was going to look bad and that the curl would fall out. I told her that I really wanted everyone to have their hair the same way. A little while after I talked to her, I talked to my matron of honor, and she complained about having to wear her hair that way too. They had already talked about it and asked it everyone could wear their hair up. I am so stressed out right now with everything else, I can't deal with 2 of my bridesmaid complaining about their hair. I have 6 bridesmaids, and 4 are okay with what I have asked them to do with their hair. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!
This is not the end of the world. It may be that the other bridesmaids would prefer to wear it up. I would ask them all to wear it up and let it go at that. There will be plenty more for you to worry about.
Professionally, I have seen more than I wish to note of hair that was worn down and then, with the heat of the day, the humidity and the dancing gets to it and loses the curl and looks straggly. Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com

This very dilemma was in a recent wedding magazine I get monthly. I agreed with the answer they gave. Having been a stylist for 25 years I know bridesmaids need to feel pretty, happy and a happy bridesmaid is a better acting bridesmaid. The one who thinks her hair will fall out is probably correct. The matching bridesmaids is a dated idea. Individuality is the best way to go. I had a bride who had 12 girls and mailed a photo to each so they could show their stylists but they all still came out differently because some had long hair some had layers etc. I would put my foot down about a braid as they don't photograph well and can be severe. Allow your maid of honor to have it all up since she can look different but ask the other one if she at least wears it half up she can keep it straight. Maybe she will compromise. But don't stress over hair you have enough to worry about. Gretchen Maurer, Stylist Instructor and Author of The Business of Bridal Beauty.
