For a day as important as your wedding, you will need a hairstyle that shows off how great you already feel. You can’t show up with a hairstyle that looks like your everyday look. Keeping a formal hairstyle for significant days will show others how polished you are, whether you already know them or whether they are meeting you for the first time. Formal hairstyles will help you look your best.

Although the hair trends of 2009 accented masculinity, men’s hairstyles for the year 2010 will veer more toward the conservative and classic styles. To achieve a formal hairstyle, you will want to plan a visit with your barber about a week before the big day to have him cut the sides and back of your hair and balance out the top for a more formal look.

On the morning of your wedding, apply a bit of gel throughout your hair. Use a product that’s light in weight and that will nourish your hair as well as style it. Then, comb the ends of your hair a bit down and then back. Add a bit of a lift to the front.

Short hairstyles are popular for formal events in 2010, and they are fairly easy to maintain. Naturally coloured hair and more relaxed styling methods may work for everyday style, but you’ll want a more formal look for your wedding day. Use mousse and a boar bristle brush to help lift your hair, and use a product with a nutrient system to make your hair thicker, fuller and healthier.

Don’t overdose your hairstyle with products on your wedding day. This is not the time to be experimenting with new looks. Use only a little squirt of mousse and then use your brush lightly over all of your hair in order to keep each hair in place.

You may also opt to wear a swept back look for your wedding, although it will take more time to style it correctly. Use styling cream, a brush and a blow dryer to lift your hair upward, creating extra volume in the front. Apply a fine hairspray mist and then use a cold dryer to hold every hair in place.
