J and I have an upcoming photoshoot on Sunday that I’m very excited about! I’ve never really had the chance to “practice” doing different hair styles, I always have to wing it on the spot. (Which fortunately turns out well!) But I really want to expand my skills and see what else I can do, when given an opportunity to do whatever the heck I want.

Almost EVERY bride gives me the same picture (Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria, etc.) so I want to try some other of their hair styles. If you’re interested in seeing a particular hairstyle, please send me a link or comment so I can try it out!

So far, I’m thinking about doing this look:

Why is this any different? Well for starters, starting at the very tippy top of her forehead, there is just massive amounts of VOLUME. It’s rounded all around, making it a very Victorian, conservative and romantic look. No bangs, no part, nothing. This is way different than something like this (which is more typical):

People always freak out when they see all that volume on their heads, as I’m sure petite girls like Eva Longoria have done, but when you see it all together (wedding dress, makeup) it looks amazing! There’s like 3-4 inches of volume on her head! I think the 2nd picture looks aiite, but it’s SO TYPICAL I WANT TO DIE. It’s like… can we please all do something a lil different?! =) That’s the perspective of ME on the end of being the hair stylist!
