When Should I cut my hair before a wedding?

It depends. If your hair is pretty damaged, as in it looks like someone took a match to the ends, then you should consider having a fresh cut and using extensions if you need length.

If your hair is pretty healthy but may have mild splits, wait to cut your hair after the wedding. Most styles are easier to create when the ends of the hair are a little more tapered and soft. A fresh cut keeps the ends blunt and strong, making the hair harder to work with and lay correctly.

The best time to get a trim is 6 weeks before the wedding. And when I say trim, I mean like a seriously light dusting.

The best cut to have for most wedding hairstyles, round face framing layers in the front and long layers in the back sitting between the shoulder blades and bra strap area.

If your hair is very short, very long, or very layered, consider styles with those things in mind.
