Firstly, congratulations, you are going to be a bridesmaid or maybe you’re the bride looking for inspiration for your bridesmaid hair on the day, either way exciting times ahead. Searching the internet for bridesmaid hairstyles can be a nightmare, there are so many different styles to choose from. Our advice would be to have a general idea of what you want. It’s much easier this way because it can be overwhelming and you lose sight of what you initially love.

If the bride has already chosen her hairstyle then the next job is to decide on the bridesmaids. I would suggest this way round so that the bridesmaid’s hair isn’t the same and it then complements the bride’s hair. The bridesmaids hair must look stunning as they will be photographed all day so it’s a big decision. Are you going to have a themed wedding? For instance you may want all of your bridesmaids to have their hair up in a bun so they all are consistent or let them all go freestyle and show off their character. We have chosen 35 gorgeous updos for you to think about.

There are so many different ways of painting your nails. From nail art to false nails, there are nails for everyone. If you have lots of different shades and colours in your nail box, then great, you can grab your favourite colour of the month tonight and paint your nails. The best tips we can offer are before you apply your nails or nail polish, you should give your hands a quick massage to help with your blood circulation. Having good circulation will help with your nail development. When applying nail polish, it’s always best to apply thin coats, rather than a few thick coats. This way, it will dry quicker and it will last longer. Thick nail polish tends to chip faster and sometimes develops air bubbles.

There are so endless amount of protective hairstyles you can choose from and micro braids are one of them. Micro braids have been popular and trending for years. They are made by having a bunch of braids, which are merged together that cover your whole head. This protective style is easy to maintain and is low maintenance. The braids look gorgeous and are very stylish once they’re done but can take several hours to finish. Also, they are very versatile so you can change your style on a daily basis.

Things You Need to Know Before Getting Micro Braids

Before you get started, ensure your hair is long enough, healthy and can cope with the micro braids as they can damage thin and weak hair. Then get yourself comfortable and have a friend by your side to help you. Having micro braids will definitely benefit you, especially if you have a busy lifestyle. Once you have your braids installed, they can last for months. We suggest you take your braids out every two-three months so your natural hair can breathe and settle. You could say this is like your hairs recovery time. This is also good for you because then you can restyle your hair or braid them differently. Leaving your braids in for longer than three months, can cause damage to your hair by making it thin and then it will start to break.

To maintain your braids, ensure you use a conditioner to keep them moisturized and fresh. Don’t use a heavy condition as they can cause build-up in the hair, resulting in a dry scalp. Use a spray or an oil formula so you can target areas more specifically and you can control the amount you apply better. Drink plenty of water too, as this will help your hair to look fantastic. Before you go to bed, you can protect your braids by wearing a scarf. This will help keep them tidy and neat.

We have come up with 61 beautiful micro braids styles you can have. Enjoy!

1. Stunning Micro Braids Updo

Once you have your gorgeous braids, try this updo hairstyle. As you can see, micro braids also look beautiful when gathered into an elegant updo. If you decide on having micro braids, prepare your hair beforehand. Make sure you thoroughly wash your hair and use a conditioner afterwards. Remember, when you have braids, you won’t be able to clean as intense as you can now. Ensure you have everything by your side so you don’t have to move in the process. Also, make sure you have enough hair! There’s nothing worse than getting halfway through and realising that you have run out. Use a comb to detangle your hair so it’s easier and quicker to braid. You want to make the process as simple as possible without any problems in between.

As mentioned, make sure you do take your braids out every two – three months or so, and when you do decide to braid your hair again, try a different style. This will help your hair and head by not causing stress and tension in one area over time.

That is, until you tie your hair back. The ampersand can relate to many things. It dates back from the first century A.D and nowadays we use it for the word and. It’s simple and elegant, especially in the correct font.

This will boost your confidence and make you feel so much better on your off days. This font shows how delicate the meaning is.

15. White Triangle Tattoo

A white triangle tattoo in white ink is very spiritual. Triangles have three angles and this tends to be linked to Christianity. A triangle that points directly upwards symbolises masculinity. If you choose to have a triangle, research which way you want your triangle facing because they all have a different meaning. If you love the design of the actual triangle and aren’t worried about the meanings, then go for it. Not everyone has meanings before their tattoos. People often go for what they like rather than the meanings behind them. This is good but it’s always good to know the meanings in case you find out too late and hate the idea of it.

26. White Ink Semicolon Tattoo

Maybe you like grammar symbols or maybe it’s deeper than that. Project Semicolon is a non-profit organisation trying to raise awareness for mental illness and many people are backing this project by getting a semicolon tattoo to show their support. You may think that showing your support by getting your skin ink forever, is a tad extreme but if you believe in something that strongly, it’s your passion.

30. Matching Couple Tattoos

There’s nothing like getting matching tattoos with your loved one. A special date that means something to you both, like an anniversary, your first date, your wedding date or simple the day you got the tattoo.
