So, the big day is finally booked and your mind is filled with exciting plans of what the next few weeks/months or maybe years will have in store for you and your fiance!!! There are many things you will be able to control, whether it be timescales, budget, colour scheme or bridesmaids but unfortunately there are always those things you can’t control....like weather, hormones and maybe the mother in law ;).  My job is simply to help move a few things over to the ‘stress free’ column of that ever extending ‘to-do’ list! However I won’t be touching on the details of your wedding, I’m concentrating on you, THE BRIDE, it’s time to indulge ladies!!

I will be giving advice and tips on the beauty essentials in the run up to your big day covering everything from hair and make-up to tanning and skincare!! If you have any questions please head over to @weddingbelles1 on Twitter.


This week I am looking at hair......now let’s assume you have always dreamt of beautiful flowing locks or a fabulous top knot of Rapunzel-length hair, however a week before your boyfriend proposes you have a moment of pure braveness and return home with the ever gorgeous POB (posh spice bob) – devastation! (this may sound like a story but believe me.....it’s my story)

Don’t panic - your hair WILL grow!!! Phew!! Hair grows at an average of ½ to 1 inch per month but there is a few things you can do to help the process.

  1. Regular trims every 6 weeks will get rid of dead ends and help the hair grow healthier.

  1. Try and limit use of heated appliances, they will break your hair if overused (the exact opposite of what you are trying to achieve)

  1. Hot Oil treatments and head massages increase blood flow to the hair follicles, promoting the hair to grow faster.

  1. Vitamins B & E can help the hair grow faster so try taking these supplements. However Vitamin B can be found in the following foods: Banana’s, Potato’s, Tuna & Avocado's.

  1. Keep calm.....stress is one of the main factors of hair loss!!
Remember, if you suit your hair short...keep it short don’t always follow convention, many salons offer trials so have one and make the most of it!! And if all else fails.....there’s some fabulous hairpieces around these days...ask your stylist to help source these for you. Take a look at the ‘ever-changing’ Sienna Millers locks to see that you can go from short too long in the time it takes to....plan a wedding???

Sienna took 2 years to grow her short crop out.
