Braids

“If any brides are looking to opt out of using hot tools for their wedding hair, Lexi’s hairstyle is proof that braids can be pure wedding hair perfection! Her braided updo still achieved the look of loose, ethereal, and effortless to play nicely with her boho-chic wedding style but didn’t require curls, and was the perfect way to highlight her plunging neckline and open back of her wedding dress.” – Stephanie Allen, Owner of Allenbrooke Farms
“Work with the strengths of the natural state of your hair…. hair pieces and crowns can enhance the look of your hair without effort or heat. And instead of curls and tight updos, opt for a natural loose braid for natural beauty!” – Danielle Aspromatis of d’Luxe Events
