The wedding season is officially here – a blur of laughter, chaos, and countless outfit changes. Between sangeet rehearsals, back-to-back functions, and last-minute touch-ups, one thing you can’t afford to neglect is your hair. Whether you’re the bride, the bridesmaid, or the friend working behind the scenes, your hair should look as effortlessly flawless as your outfit. To help you glide through every event – from haldi mornings to reception nights – Amy Johnson, Global Head of Education at Dyson, shares expert-approved hacks to keep your hair looking healthy, polished, and party-ready all week long. 1. Prep Before the Parties Begin Healthy hair is the foundation of every great hairstyle. Begin your wedding-week prep with a hydrating mask and scalp exfoliation to remove buildup. Sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce frizz and breakage. When drying, use an intelligent hair dryer that evenly distributes heat and protects both strands and scalp with smart temperature sensors. 2. Mehendi-Ready in Minutes Short on time? Create soft curls or boho waves for an effortless mehendi look. Wrap small sections of hair, set them with a cool shot, and they’ll hold beautifully all afternoon, even through endless dancing. 3. Sangeet Glam, Sans Damage The sangeet calls for movement and glam. Use a wet-to-dry straightener that styles without hot plates or heat damage. Try a sleek half ponytail with volume at the crown and secure it with a chic clip or embellished pin. It’s elegant, modern, and stays picture-perfect through the afterparty. 4. Haldi Glow, Minimal Effort For haldi, simplicity wins. Opt for smooth, natural hair with a smart dryer’s scalp protection mode that adds shine without stress. Pro tip: Coat your hair with a lightweight serum before styling to protect it from turmeric stains, and make post-Haldi cleanup easier. 5. Wedding Night Showstopper When it’s time for the main event, every detail matters. For the bride: Create voluminous curls without extreme heat. For the groom: A quick blow-dry and light styling ensures a polished, camera-ready look. For the bridesmaid: A wet-to-dry straightener saves time and keeps your hair sleek and frizz-free all night. Finish with a low bun or add jewelled accessories for extra flair. 6. Reception Refresh When the celebrations roll into the reception or after-party, the best idea is to refresh your look effortlessly. Revive your curls or smooth out sections without needing a complete wash. 7. Destination-Ready Style Whether it’s a beachside ceremony or a mountain wedding, plan smart. Pack travel-sized essentials and your go-to styling tools. Hydrate with leave-in conditioner or mist. Weather-proof your style with anti-frizz spray or nourishing oil. Sleep on a satin pillowcase to keep styles intact between events. Final Tip: Smart tools and thoughtful prep go a long way. With a few expert-approved techniques, you can move through wedding season with gorgeous, damage-free hair and memories to match.
