The theme of your wedding will determine the type of hairdo that you should be wearing. The same goes for your attire. A simple yet surprisingly elegant theme is one that is along the lines of Ancient Greek Art. This is characterized by long graceful outlines and gentle undulating folds. You should research on classical Greek hairstyles to get a better idea. Their hairstyles will be simple to execute since nothing, except the natural beauty of hair will be involved.
The predilection of the ancient Greeks for harmony is very well depicted in their fashion as in their art. Greek art and fashion never overwhelms the personality with abundant and distracting details. They rarely wore jewelry and would presumably never have made use of our glitters. The typical hair style was a completely natural to look at. The hair was brushed back and sometimes ended in a bun at the back of the head.
With the Greeks, styling their hair apparently had functional rather than decorative purposes. Males usually sported shorter locks but females would draw theirs behind their heads in buns of all shapes and sizes, as can be seen on the Venus of Milo. Of course the way the Venus’s hair was fixed is appropriate for the shape and proportions of her face.
Not everyone looks well with a bun. If it so happens you that you don’t there are variations of the Greek hair style that have been created for women who look better with draped hair.
A wedding Greek-style hairdo is easily done by yourself. First of all you will need to add some loose curls to the hair below the crown of your head. Then you pull them up gently diagonally upwards towards the back of your head. Fasten them well there and let the rest of the hairs drape down the shoulders and the back.
You can do it yourself by winding the hair in wide rollers. The hair has to be wet to make it easier to shape. Also, after everything has been set into rollers, you can spray some setting lotion on it. Remember that the sections to be rolled need to be thin enough for thee curls to be visible.
Using your drier in low-heat mode, pass the drier slowly over the different areas of the head. When they have dried, you may allow them to stay on the rollers until you are ready to fix them up.
Remember that the hair has to be curled backwards. If you fix them in a downwards, horizontal of upwards orientation, you will achieve different effects. While you are looking for the right orientation to curl them in, you should avoid spraying them with setting lotion.
Other hair stylists would recommend letting the hair drape down and frame the face. This is usually recommended for women who have large-ish jaws and somewhat fat faces. The hair frames the face with vertical lines that remove some of the fullness from it.
This type of hairdo will need a bit of shearing. Specifically, the hairs that fall around the face should be cut in long layers to allow them to frame the face gracefully instead of just dropping down and adding more bulky to your face.
