Says yes to the TRESS(ES)

Extensions could be the key to helping your brides achieve the hair of their wedding day dreams

HAIRDREAMS

Weddings come in all shapes and sizes, from destination elopements to registry office ceremonies, lavish multi-day events to intimate gatherings. With this variety of nuptials, it’s not surprising that each bride will often have visions of a bespoke hairstyle to complement her outfit, setting, and personal style. And with more brides than ever prioritising styles that last from aisle to afterparty, extensions can offer a great solution for clients looking to level-up their natural hair. Here, bridal hair specialists and ambassadors from leading extensions brands share their top tips to help you help your brides look, and feel, their best.

TIMELESS STYLES

Victoria Lynch, Founder of Remi Cachet, explains:

“If your bride doesn’t want to commit to extensions beyond the big day, Remi Cachet’s hair pieces, like the human hair buns or clip-in wefts, are a great option to consider, especially for those seeking a timeless wedding updo. Gone are the days where brides had to tolerate growing their hair out for years in order to achieve their wedding day hair goals; extensions can give brides the hair they deserve on their special day, providing instant volume or length without the pain of getting there.”

EFFORTLESS FINISH

Pamela Docherty, Great Lengths Digital Advocate and owner of Peeky & Ty in Glasgow, says:

GREAT LENGTHS NATURAL CUT

“GL Tapes Natural Cut are brilliant for bridal work, especially when time is tight. I’ve applied them on the day of the wedding before – usually for brides flying in from abroad, as sometimes I’m meeting them for the first time on the morning of the big day. A lot of inspiration pictures (which are increasingly AI generated) often rely on extensions, which is something brides don’t always realise. The beauty of GL Tapes is you can quickly place a few in to create the Pinterest-worthy look they’ve dreamed of.”

INSTANT TRANSFORMATION

Sheree Tomic, Bridal Expert and Zen Hair Brand Ambassador, explains:

“These days, it’s not uncommon for brides to change their dress, and their hair, in between the ceremony and reception, providing a great opportunity to utilise extensions for a dramatic transformation. Clip-ins are a bridal game-changer; Zen’s SERENE Collection is incredibly secure, lightweight and natural, ideal for achieving anything from big, boho braids to sleek Hollywood waves.

I love using them on brides who want that extra bit of drama or need more hair to work with for intricate styling.”

SEAMLESS BY NATURE

Stuart Whitelaw, Hairdreams partner and salon owner, says:

“My favourite bridal blueprint is a low, textured bun supported by two rows of Hairdreams DreamWefts. The flat base keeps the nape tidy, while the extra density lets me pull out airy tendrils without the style collapsing. Tip for newcomers: pre-curl the wefts on a block head –then you’re simply pinning and polishing on the day, not fighting hot tools against the clock.”

STRONG BONDS

Dina Dimitriou, Head of Education at Beauty Works, says:

“Beauty Works’ Invisitip Nanobonds are my go-to for brides looking to maintain their look for longer – even through their honeymoon. These micro-fine, colour-coded bonds are completely discreet and sit comfortably in the hair, making them perfect for styles that require structure and staying power – like sleek buns, Hollywood waves or intricate braids. Applied without heat or glue, they’re gentle on even the finest hair and offer up to 12 weeks of wear.”
