A wedding in Bermuda has its own kind of beauty: bright water, soft sea air, warm light, and photos that catch every detail. That also means hair colour gets noticed. Blonde tones can pull too warm in the sun, darker shades can look flat if they are freshly over-processed, and any colour correction done too late can add stress when calm is exactly what you need.

Twenty years is a long time to stand behind a hair tool. Trends have come and gone, from poker-straight hair to loose beach waves, soft bends, glossy blowout curls, and everything in between. Through all of it, one styling tool has stayed in my kit, my bathroom, my recommendations, and my affiliate links: the GHD flat iron.

Bermuda humidity can turn a beautiful updo into a soft, frizzy, slipping style if the hair is prepared the wrong way. The good news is that lasting wedding hair rarely comes down to luck. It comes down to what happens the day before.
