We've all had them - hair catastrophes. A bad cut. A disatrous color. But your beauty timeline clock is ticking and there is no room for impulsive moves. Check out our list of I DOs and DON'Ts to get your hair into shape without risking a wedding day follicle fiasco.

I DOs

• 6 months before your wedding :: consult with your hairstylists to set up a hair care regimine.
• 3 months :: schedule your wedding day hair and makeup appointments and plan special styles for the bridal shower and rehearsal dinner.
• 2 months :: consult and experience with different styles. Choose a hairstyle before you choose your veil or headpiece. Play with a few styles before finalizing your look.
• 1 month :: trim/cut your hair. This will give your hair a few weeks to settle and soften.
• 2 weeks :: color/touch-up your existing hair color. Hair color looks best the first 2 weeks, so have it done a week before style/makeup rehearsal.
• 3 days :: have a pedicure and manicure. Whether it's in a tropical paradise or the heart of the city, a honeymoon requires beautiful feet and hands.

I DON'Ts

• Do not make hairstyle changes within 3 months of the wedding.
• Do not choose a large or overly ornate headpiece.
• Do not have your hair styled too early.
• Do not choose a hairstyle that's too structural. It will be impossible to maintain.
• Do not wash your hair right before styling it. It's too slippery to handle.
• Do not dye your hair at home.
