Popularity continues for the half-up half-down hairstyle, which was the number one choice of my brides again for 2009. I love this style because there are a surprising number of variations and it looks good on almost everyone. It's a nice way to showcase your hair while still adding a little touch of formality. The strands that are pulled back can be finger combed loosely, perfectly smoothed, or even braided back. Some brides prefer some face framing strands to be pulled out and some have a specific pattern they want the hair to form in the back (knots, swirls, mini french twist, etc.). In Kim's case, we started with adding big loose curls to her perfectly straight hair with the under layer in waves to keep the length looking long. We tried a side part at the trial consultation but decided that hair smoothed straight back suited herface shape better. On the day of the wedding her makeup artist and I took turns getting her and the rest of the bridal party ready. Her hair curled up nicely and as you can see and she was an absolutely beautiful bride. I also had the pleasure of doing several of the bridal party members' hair as well as her mother's. What a lovely group of ladies. Good luck to you Kim! Thank you
