If you have short hair there is no reason why you still can’t wear a wedding hair updo.  Short hair wedding updos usually make use of hair extensions or hair pieces; however, if the top or crown of the hair is long enough, the curls and rolls on top can be styled with your own natural hair.  One thing to be particularly aware of is the time it will take to apply hair extensions if that is how you choose to go.  Never make the appointment to have the extensions themselves done on the day or your wedding.  Make an appointment for at least the day before to have the extensions woven in.  If you leave it until your wedding day it may be impossible to finish on time or if you are rushed you are only adding stress to the pre-wedding jitters.

Depending on the length of your hair, short hair wedding updos may be a virtual impossibility unless you use hairpieces or extensions.  Many brides prefer hairpieces that are simply pinned on temporarily for the day.  Hair extensions can be removed but it is usually a drawn out procedure to do so.  Short hair is a great convenience for today’s active woman, but when she is dressing for a formal wedding she wants something a little fuller and more elegant.  Most big weddings are planned six months or more before the actual date.  In order to give your stylist something to work with it might be advisable to let your hair grow a little if you are dead set on a short hair wedding updo.  You can still wear your hair short, but give it enough length so that it can be sprayed up away from the neck.  Short, tapered hairstyles are not conducive to updos.  It is possible to get a modified look, but not a traditional updo without a wig or hairpiece.
