Not my wedding, my sons
I'm 48 and am off to Malaysia in three weeks for my son's wedding.
I'm having anxious thoughts about what the heck to do with my hair to make it look presentable.
The wedding celebrations start early in the morning so I will have no time to get to a salon and will have to do my hair myself. Another factor is that it's boiling hot and humid out there which probably won't help matters.
Clothes wise I will be wearing a smart tunic top and white crepe trousers.
My hair is a medium layered bob, naturaly wavy / curlyish at the ends and comes to shoulder length, and looks (on a good day) a bit like <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&sa=N&hl=en&biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&tbnid=QJJkM1MB4gCUoM:&imgrefurl=www.thehairstyler.com/hairstyles/casual/medium/wavy/yellow-strawberry-global-salon-sarasota-fl-usa-9072&docid=CiSGYUuutpZwfM&imgurl=hairstyles.thehairstyler.com/hairstyle_views/right_view_images/925/original/9072_Wavy-Medium.jpg&w=500&h=600&ei=pNGPUfvxDYKd0QWX24DYCg&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588,r:16,s:0,i:129&iact=rc&dur=1383&page=1&tbnh=177&tbnw=148&start=0&ndsp=27&tx=89&ty=120" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">this or <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&sa=N&hl=en&biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&tbnid=AjUhOGghxDKOHM:&imgrefurl=muhammadakash.blogspot.com/2012/07/medium-wavy-hairstyles.html&docid=TQG6AO_jGcgAKM&imgurl=2.bp.blogspot.com/-NISozY3uMys/UBgyb9G064I/AAAAAAAAAAk/Uuruv9mlzFg/s640/Medium%252BWavy%252BHairstyles-3.jpg&w=500&h=600&ei=pNGPUfvxDYKd0QWX24DYCg&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588,r:17,s:0,i:132&iact=rc&dur=810&page=1&tbnh=176&tbnw=147&start=0&ndsp=27&tx=51&ty=67" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">this.
It is a dark honey blonde and will have some light highlights and trim before I go. It has a tendency to be flat on top and frizzy at the ends.
So I'd like some styling tips please!! And how can I get the style to stay in - my hair is fine and styles just fall out.
I'm taking a hairdryer, barrel brush and curling tongs. I've had a practice with these today and only managed to make it look half decent. I'm pants with styling and never usually bother.
I'd just like it to look 'groomed' for the day, a bit of volume and maybe some gentle waves / curls at the bottom kind of thing.
Sorry for the essay but - help!?!
