"We spoke to the celebrity hair whisperer about his go-to styling tricks, favorite trends, and best bridal beauty tips. Must-Have Wedding Hair Product &amp;amp;#8220;If you want to look your best in photos, your hair needs to reflect the light, and nothing helps do that better than glossing cream. Fekkai Brilliant glossing cream is my favorite product for anyone having her picture taken for an event. If you have highlights, it makes them shinier; if you have curls, it gives them more definition. All you need is a drop.&amp;amp;#8221; Bridal Style &amp;amp;#8220;Sometimes the simplest look is best. Don&amp;amp;#8217;t overload your hair with too many accessories or make your head heavy. It detracts from your overall silhouette.&amp;amp;#8221; Handiest Wedding Hair Gadgets &amp;amp;#8220;Hot rollers give great volume in just ten minutes, and a curling iron is amazing, because it can add curls or redefine them. Plus, the iron shines the hair as well, which is ideal for a wedding.&amp;amp;#8221; Red-Carpet Perennial &amp;amp;#8220;I love what I call the Jennifer Lopez: Big hair pulled back into a ponytail. Keep it tight to your head, and add some extension to the ponytail to make it very thick and very smooth. It&amp;amp;#8217;s always an elegant choice.&amp;amp;#8221; Top Trend &amp;amp;#8220;That bombshell 1930s look is very pretty: Sexy, smooth hair with a slight finger wave on top and a loose, soft curl on the bottom&amp;amp;#8212;and, of course, a very dramatic side part.&amp;amp;#8221; Runway Picks &amp;amp;#8220;Designers always inspire me, especially when their shows end with a beautiful wedding look. I love Marc Jacobs&amp;amp;#8217;s romantic bride, Yves Saint Laurent&amp;amp;#8217;s sophisticate, and Proenza Schouler&amp;amp;#8217;s worldly rich girl.&amp;amp;#8221; Best Advice &amp;amp;#8220;Don&amp;amp;#8217;t feel like you have to stick to a conventional, traditional bridal look if it doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t really suit you. Embrace your own signature style, and dare to pick a strong look that belongs entirely to you.&amp;amp;#8221; Wedding Hair Rehab Robert and Tammy Sherman, lead stylist and creative director at Fr&amp;amp;eacute;d&amp;amp;eacute;ric Fekkai Salon at The Mark in NYC, break down how to get your hair in wedding shape: 1. An emergency overhaul treatment should be the first stop for anyone addicted to bleach or the flat iron. (Salons offer them; look for a service with &amp;amp;#8220;911&amp;amp;#8221; in the name.) Try Fekkai&amp;amp;#8217;s Restorative Hair Repair ($125), which revitalizes overprocessed hair. 2. Think about how your hair will look in pictures, and adjust treatments accordingly. For example, if you&amp;amp;#8217;re getting highlights, go brighter and more color-saturated than you normally would&amp;amp;#8212;it photographs better. 3. Splurge on replenishing treatments that restore moisture, shine, and protein. Your stylist should recommend services based on your hair&amp;amp;#8217;s pressing needs. 4. Trim your ends every four to six weeks, even if you&amp;amp;#8217;re growing your hair out. Here&amp;amp;#8217;s why: Say your hair grows an average of 1/4 inch a month. If the ends are breaking at the same rate, it won&amp;amp;#8217;t look any longer. Plus, frayed ends will eventually split the shafts and make you look wholly unkempt. Pair each salon trim with a deep-conditioning treatment. 5. Don&amp;amp;#8217;t let the hair dryer touch your hair. Even your stylist may be making this mistake inadvertently&amp;amp;#8212;warn her. And while you&amp;amp;#8217;re at it: Replace the metal brush you&amp;amp;#8217;re using for blowouts with one that has boar bristles. 6. Handle your hair as though it were super-delicate silk. Comb your hair in the shower, before rinsing out the conditioner, to avoid having to pull through stubborn tangles. Afterward, don&amp;amp;#8217;t rub the towel into your head&amp;amp;#8212; that aggravates the hair cuticles. Gently blot instead. Seriously. Blot. 7. Shampoo every other day. Overcleansing strips out natural oils that keep hair healthy and supple. 8. Before using hot rollers or a styling iron at home, spritz your hair with a thermal-protectant spray&amp;amp;#8212; especially if you primp daily. Prolonged exposure to high heat leads to parched hair and brittle ends. 9. Reconsider getting extensions. The non-clip-in variety can weaken your own hair to the tune of breakage. If you&amp;amp;#8217;re hell-bent on them, make sure you replace them every three months. 10. Stick to one chemical treatment at a time. Want highlights? Come back for the relaxer later. Booked a Brazilian blowout? Postpone the color job. If you can&amp;amp;#8217;t refrain from treatments altogether, just take it easy. Are you a fan of Fekkai products? Which do you use?
