Charismatic Hair and Makeup Artist Gendai ♡

Famous for suggesting and updating cute hair arrangements every day＊ There should be no one who doesn't know the popular hair and makeup artist Gendai on Instagram ♡ As I look through Gendai's Instagram, I find myself dreaming, “I want a bridal hairstyle like this…” or “I want to ask Gendai for my wedding hair…” but the reality is that Gendai is one of a kind in the world. Even if Gendai is in charge of bridal hair every day, only 365 people a year can ask for Gendai’s services...

Gendai's Tips! "How to Order a Bridal Hairdo without Regrets"

Gendai is the only one of her kind on Earth. Unfortunately, not everyone who wishes to has the chance to ask Gendai for hair arrangements, but “you can definitely achieve a look as cute as Gendai's” ♡ To do that, I asked her how to place an order for the hair on the wedding day at the second Marry meeting ♡

Gendai says, “Brides care about their hairstyle just as much as they do their wedding dress. That’s why I definitely want to create a favorite hairstyle for them.” Here’s Gendai’s recommended “Things to Definitely Do When Ordering Bridal Hair” list, delivered with pictures of Takami Bridal dresses and jewelry ♡

Gendai's Tips! How to Order Bridal Hair ① Images from Various Angles

First and foremost, this is the most important point. When showing your stylist, "I want to do this hairstyle!" make sure you have pictures prepared from the front, back, and sides. If you only bring a photo that looks cute from the front, the stylist won’t know how the back or sides are arranged.

Therefore, it’s crucial to prepare reference photos from【3 angles】 (front, side, back) ♡ If you want to achieve your desired hairstyle, it’s important to “completely convey your ideal” ♩

Gendai's Tips! How to Order Bridal Hair ② For a Loose and Fluffy Look, Add Movement to Your Hair!

Recently, it’s become popular to match loose, trendy hair that isn't too stiff with wedding dresses during weddings. Gendai says it’s important to be conscious of 【movement】 and 【flow】 of the hair for creating loose, fluffy hairstyles＊

Expressing the movement of hair means, for example, with an updo style like a large bun for the ceremony, instead of tightly bundling the hair, it’s crucial to cherish stray hairs and the airy feel!

While making the bun, if some hair comes out and you can’t wrap it neatly, instead of forcing it inside, you can curl it with a curling iron and wrap it around the bun to express the 【movement】 and 【flow】 of the hair, which is great ♡

Gendai's Tips! How to Order Bridal Hair ③ Keep Balance with the Groom’s Accessories ♡

When it comes to wedding hairstyles, not only do you have to decide on the hair arrangement, but how and where to place the hair accessories also becomes an important point, right? Gendai emphasizes the balance when the bride and groom stand next to each other＊

Normally, during the wedding, the groom stands on the right and the bride stands on the left. From the guest's perspective, the bride is on the right and the groom on the left. Therefore, when thinking about the balance of the two standing together, a tip is to place the accessory on the left side＊ During the fitting, try various placements with your stylist to discover the best style for both of you ♩

Gendai's Tips! How to Order Bridal Hair ④ Add a Touch of Tradition to Japanese Attire

Recently, amongst Japanese weddings where brides wear white kimono or colorful uchikake, the trend of styling hair in Western styles has also become popular＊ However, Gendai’s focus is on “keeping a touch of traditional elements within trendy Western hairstyles.” If it ends up just looking like a Western hairstyle, it would be a waste since it won’t stand out when wearing a dress, and a kimono has its unique beauty too ♕

For example, with Western-style hair arrangements, it’s trendy to softly cover half of the ears with side hair or stray hair, but with Japanese attire, a hairstyle that exposes the ears enhances the overall elegance and beauty. Adding a bit of classic essence is an important point when creating hairstyles for traditional garments＊

Gendai's Tips! How to Order Bridal Hair ⑤ Bangs at the Center of the Iris

For brides, the issue of bangs is crucial. Bangs are so important that they can make you feel blue if they don't look good in everyday life, and on your once-in-a-lifetime wedding day, they can keep you up at night worrying.

For brides who wish to keep bangs, Gendai recommends, “Don’t cut your bangs to the same length!” If bangs are thick and cut to the same length, they tend to look 【dark and heavy】. By curling just the outer parts while creating movement in the bangs, your face will look lively and bright, making your favorite wedding dress and colored dresses even more beautiful ♡

[Bonus] When Should You Visit the Beauty Salon?

In the lead-up to the wedding, there’s a flurry of beauty tasks to finalize, from esthetics to eyelash extensions to teeth whitening. Of course, you’ll probably visit a hair salon for coloring, cutting, or treatment, but Gendai recommends visiting the salon about a week before the wedding day＊

That’s because if you leave it too close to the date, you won’t have time to fix things if you don’t like the results. Typically, hairstylists don’t aim to make your hair look perfect on the day it’s colored, but to ensure it looks its best a few days later. Therefore, it’s usually darker than what you initially ordered. To meet your wedding day with your hair in its best condition, Gendai recommends going a week or so before the event ♡

[Gendai's Answer] Let’s Make All Your Ideals Come True ♡

A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. It’s a special time when a girl shines the brightest, remembered in memories and photos forever. Therefore, realizing everything the bride wants is the quickest path to a successful wedding ♡ Find your ideal hairstyle, choose your perfect hair accessories, and combine them with your beloved wedding dress—the dress of your dreams, and let’s make all your wishes come true ♩

Gendai says＊ “There are no must-dos or must-nots. Doing what you want will give you the greatest satisfaction.” So, to ensure you can realize everything you want for your bridal hair, it’s important to prepare a “Things to Communicate” list while placing your order! Make that list thoroughly and present it to your stylist ♡
