Seems funny to say that this is a new trend, but I truly feel that brides are finally letting go of the “I have to grow my hair out for the wedding day” idea!  Yay!  I think we’ll see this trend sparkle in 2010 – mainly because brides are coming into their own style and money isn’t flowing as it used to.  So rock what you feel most comfortable in whether it’s long or short!  Check out more here & runway updo trends for 2010.

We’ve seen hairstyles with braids in the scene for a while now.  I was reminded how much I adore the messy-out-of-your-face look when I saw a friend’s facebook pic recently.  I can still french braid my own and sometimes wear messy braided pigtails.  But I’ve always had one dilemma…I can’t seem to figure out how to do a side braid!!  Oh why oh why!  I do have bangs so I find that a challenge as well (on top of my fingers protesting).  Wish me luck! Hair Brained, Cosmo, & A Braid Runs Through It.

Time to plan some hair dos! Wedding hairstyles should be classic, playful, sexy, timeless and MOST importantly….comfortable!

I’ve included several of my fav hairstyles within this posting along with some of the runway trends this year. Check it out! (more…)
