Akin to your skincare routine that starts months in advance of your wedding, your hair care too needs an early kickstart. Ideally, brides should begin their hair prep 8–12 weeks before to see real results closer to your ‘Big’ day. Don’t be fooled for a minute that on the morning of your ‘Sangeet’, you will have miraculously brilliant hair day! For that perfect look, you need to start early, stay consistent and focus on inside-out care so your hair looks naturally healthy, shiny and manageable through all wedding functions.
Nutrition inside out
To look and feel its best, your hair needs to eat well too! So, start by being conscious of what’s going on your plate because internal nutrition always comes first. A balanced diet with enough protein, healthy fats, vitamins and hydration is key to your hair health and no product can fix a lack of nutrition. What you eat now shows up in your hair 6–12 weeks later so the earlier you begin, the better your results. Pack your diet with protein to build strength, iron and zinc to support growth, and good fats for shine and scalp health. Don’t forget, quality sleep is just as essential for overall wellness.
Hydration is equally important for shiny nourished hair. If you’re experiencing hair fall or scalp issues, meet a professional early rather than trying last minute ‘quick fixes’ days before the wedding. You want to be correcting, not firefighting, in your final weeks.
Hair Maintenance
For your wedding, you want your haircuts to be intentional, not impulsive. A trim around 4–6 weeks before the wedding allows the cut to settle in and keeps your ends looking healthy. Don’t risk last-minute changes that affect styling.The same rule applies to color and treatments. Color refresh should be done 2–3 weeks ahead of your celebrations so your hair looks natural in photos. And any grey touch ups should be done close to the event. Any new smoothening or strengthening first treatments must be done 6–8 weeks before to allow your hair to adjust. The final week is about maintenance, not experimentation.
Simple, Consistent Ritual
Your hair ritual for the months leading to your wedding should focus on three things strength, nourishment and protection. The trick for making your dream wedding look come true is to follow a simple but consistent rituals from the day your wedding date us fixed. Stick to a steady ritual rather than lathering up multiple products into your mane. A gentle tri-surfactant formula strengthening shampoo to clean your scalp without stripping its natural oils. Replace your conditioner with a nourishing mask to deeply moisturise and repair. This weekly reset keeps your hair soft, frizz-controlled and more resistant to styling damage.
Add to that a leave-in conditioner for daily protection and a repair serum for smoothness, shine, repair and your ritual should be fool proof! A clear hair gloss infused with argania spinosa kernel oil (argan oil) enhances smoothness and gives that sparkling mirror finish to your hair. Apply this a day before your key functions so the shine peaks exactly when you want it to.
Make Styling Wedding-Proof
Wedding hairstyles are no joke! Your hair needs strength and stamina to keep up with the marathon of hairstyles you will subject it to through the week-or-more long celebrations. This is where versatile styling products come in. Use a multi-tasking hair styling spray infused with Panthenol and other proteins to protect your hair from heat damage, control frizz, and add volume and shine, leaving your hair set in place from the word go!
