The Best Hair Style for Your Igbo Wedding: How to Choose the Best
Before you choose any hairstyle, it is important to know how to pick the best one for your facial features. I have made sure to group the featured hair styles, so that you can easily and quickly find the one that will look best on you.
Generally, some women look better with all-back hairstyles; some look better in packing-gel updo styles, and others look best in half up and half down hairstyles.
Your wedding is not a time to try a new type of hairstyle that you have never worn before or not sure how it would actually look on you. Stick with the type of style that you always look good in.
If you want to wear a new style you’ve never worn before, ensure to take a few months before your wedding to try it out and snap some photos to confirm whether or not to use that type of hairstyle for your Igbo traditional wedding.
