⬇️How to avoid these mistakes⬇️

As a Chicago bridal hairstylist of over 10 years & having worked hundreds of weddings, I’ve heard it all.

So I’m here to debunk hair myths that could be costing you

❌Myth: Dirty hair is better for styling
✅Fact: Clean hair is the best for styling. If here is too greasy + oily, hairstyling products won’t work & style won’t hold.

❌Myth: Dark hair can’t show dimension in an updo
✅Fact: With the right products & techniques, yes it can! I would know, I specialize in creating dimension on dark hair 🙋🏻‍♀️

❌Myth: All hairstylists can do bridal hair
✅Fact: There are color specialists, cutting specialists, & bridal hair specialists. Not all hairstylists are the same!

Did any of these myths surprise you?
