For my past and planning African American brides who plan to wear or wore their own hair.

Thanks RandL2015, I like the B hairstyle and that birdcage is cute. I really don't have a fav yet just a concept.

Those hairstyles are beautiful!!!! I love them. TuffLuv have you considered any updos? I know it can be real windy and be humid in DR. I like the curls though.

Thanks MrsPeele2B. I have thought about some updo styles but really like these. I have thought about the wind factor. I figure if my curls blow it won't ruin the hairstyle, I can just move them back into place. However, if my updo blows it may not be as easy to restore the original look of the style. I'm not sure how humid it will be in April. I will do my homework b4 I settle on a final decision. My Dominican stylist did say April the weather isn't too bad and I showed her the pic of the style I want.

Hey ladies! I'm also natural and my hair hits my bra strap. I had a twisted updo for my e-pics but with us leaving days before the wedding I'm afraid that the updo will be a frizzy MESS!! I'm getting married in Mexico and I'm terrified thinking about a style. Everyone keeps saying get a curly weave but I've NEVER had a weave and I don't think my wedding is the day I want to test it out. Plus, I love my curls but a wash-n-go doesn't really go with gown. Ugh! Btw, love the hair ladies!!

I completely understand your dilemma. One of the reasons I don’t want to wear weave is b/c I want to do the whole wash and go while on our honeymoon. I don’t want the hassle of having to maintain my hair. Also, I like my hair. It’s been 2 ½ years since I went from short (shaved in a mohawk) to where is it now and I like my natural hair. I’m proud of my progress. So I am determined to find and work the hell out a cute hairstyle for my wedding.

EXACTLY!!!! I want the wash and go for the honeymoon. I love my curls! I transitioned for a little over a year because I never saw myself with short hair so it was a chin-length bob when I finally cut it. We will figure this out together lol

I've been MIA... and I apologize... but I promise to update you all this evening. I've just been all over the place lately. I'm glad to see that there are other natural DW brides out there.
