From hair care routines and going for low maintenance messy hair buns to making your own face masks, the following tips are perfect for the eco-minded bride-to-be.

Hair

Everyone wants beautiful hair that’s glowing in their wedding pictures, and a solid hair care routine is a huge part of that. Here are some eco-friendly tips you can incorporate into your regime so that your locks are luscious come the big day:

Choose a sustainable shampoo

Washing no more than three times a week with an eco-friendly shampoo is a great way of being more environmentally friendly. So, take some time to check labels to see what products fit the bill.

Rinse in cold water

Not only does this save energy, it’ll give your hair a shine and protect it from excess heat too. Speaking of which, toweling or air-drying will also keep the energy expenditure down.

Make a homemade hair mask

Using natural ingredients is always better for the environment, and there are plenty you can try – essential oils, avocado, honey and eggs amongst them. Treat your hair once a week to keep it in great condition.

Low maintenance hairstyle

Your choice of hairstyle for your wedding shots can make a big difference too. For example, a huge up do is going to require a lot of product, whereas messy hair buns require very little and they can give you a look of effortless chic too.
