2 answersHow to wear my hair with strapless sweetheart lace dress?
I have grown my hair for 3 years now for my wedding (had to postpone 3 times due to covid and others) and i’m struggling to find a proper hairstyle. I love to have my hair down because of all the trouble i have gone thru to grow it, but i’m used to keep it up due to my work. What would be the best option with the dress that i have? I also have few clip on-hairpieces that i would like to include my hair as well.
