The Mane Attraction

I got my hair cut the other day and finally started pondering hairstyles. I thought for certain that I was going to curl my hair for the wedding, but when I came home with natural curls in my hair (only enhanced with a diffuser), I discovered that a certain boy hated it! So, I'm back to the drawing board and have decided to straighten my hair for the wedding. I can't wear it down since it's so heavy it ends up in my face (and I end up pushing it aside too often). So, I know that I want to straighten it and I've narrowed my hairstyles down to two relatively simple ideas. Here they are


I like this one because it would allow me to show off the length of my hair. It's also a slightly modified version of what I traditionally wear when I only pull up the front of my hair. Also, it won't be hard to readjust once I remove my veil for the reception.

But then there's this one.



This one seems just a touch more elegant (largely because of the hair wrap around the pony tail). I think it's my favorite of the two so far. But then I'm worried about how my nice thick hair will take to laying this flat. I'm going to experiment with the two and see which works best. I'll check back in when I've had time to settle on a design.
