Wedding day and natural hair

Hi everyone..I've been a natural for almost 4 years now. Wedding day is coming in September and I'd like some input if possible. I wanted to get a sew in...kinky straight Malaysian hair for the day. A few acquaintances have told me that natural hair or kinky straight hair wouldn't look nice as it's not a formal hair style. I wanted to wear my hair in a nice updo for the day (slick bun or chignon)

I've been wearing lace fronts and twists outs so I've never played around with formal updo's. Honestly...can kinky straight hair look just as nice in an updo than relaxed hair does? I haven't been able to find any updo's online that I like for natural hair.

I'm posting this topic in another thread so if you see it again yes it's me. :-)

thanks.

Honestly it really depends on your wedding style in general.

What kind of dress are you looking at wearing? Of course you can wear natural hair with any wedding dress style. But HOW you wear it can definitely be dictated by the style of dress. A super formal big ball gown should probably have a style that looks more "put together" updo-ish. Whereas a relaxed sheath gown will give you more wiggle room.

I'm also getting married this Fall, and am natural. But I'm doing destination wedding in St. Lucia. And with what I've been pinning to my Pinterest board for hairstyles, I'm probably going to go with FLW. Not sure if my hair will be the length that I want by the time Nov rolls around. And in the event that humidity gets the best of me, I don't want to get screwed. With a FLW, I know exactly what to expect.

ETA: KS flw's can be flatironed to look very smooth. See my avi. :)

No offense to your fam, but if they don't have experience with KS, they know not what they speak of! Yes, KS straight out the package from your fave vendor can be overwhelming and not look put together. But if you know what you're doing (or your hairstylist), you can look LAID.

Thanks model...everytime I typed in natural hair updo's the pic of Anika Noni Rose kept coming up. I got my hair and yes it is overwhelming when I opened the package..but I have to find a good stylist now. Thanks..I'll check out Pinterest and congrats to you!

Congratulation dear, well what kind of dress you'll wear. According to that style you should make your hair style. Which suits on your dress.
