Every bride wants to be beautiful on her wedding day, and for many that image incorporates a vision of long cascading hair or a dream updo and other adornments to crown the perfect dress, makeup and veil. In fact, brides-to-be spend countless hours looking through social media sites and bridal magazines looking for inspiration and on average spend $500+ on hair and makeup for their wedding.
“Many brides might think that if they weren’t born with their ideal hair they are out of luck, but that’s not true,” says Jennifer Hutchens, Brand and Product Development Director with Barely Xtensions, “There are so many alternatives for women that want to add length, volume, and color to enhance their natural beauty — whether it’s for daily use or a special occasion. We make hair extensions easy-to-use, affordable and fun.”
Here are some simple tips to say “I do” and stay within your beauty budget:
