			<p>Whether walking down the aisle or stepping out for your Matric Farewell, picture-perfect hair requires a bit of planning. Timing your trims, treatments, and trials ensures your hair is healthy, manageable, and styled exactly how you envision it.</p>

			<p><strong>2 to 3 Months Out &#8211; The Planning &amp; Trial Phase</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Gather visual inspiration showing your dress neckline and preferred styles (sleek upstyles, romantic braids, or Hollywood waves).</li>
<li>Book a style trial with your stylist to test how the look holds and fits with hairpieces or veils.</li>
<li>Start a monthly in-salon moisture or protein treatment to prep hair texture.</li>
</ul>

			<p><strong>2 Weeks Out &#8211; Colour &amp; Trim</strong></p>
<p>Schedule your final cut and colour touch-up. This allows the shade to settle naturally while avoiding visible root regrowth.</p>

			<p><strong>1 to 2 Days Out &#8211; The Prep</strong><br />
Wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo and light conditioner 24 hours prior. Clean, dry hair with a bit of natural grit holds elaborate styles far better than freshly washed, silky hair.</p>

Wear a button-down shirt or robe so you don’t disrupt your finished upstyle when changing into your outfit.</p>
