Your long-awaited wedding day is fast approaching and things are really starting to kick into gear. You've got your makeup trial out of the way and now it's time to focus on your next best accessory (your beautiful face being the first) - your hair!
When it comes to bridal hair, it's really important to find a style that makes you feel like the best version of you. The colour, the cut and the styling are all important elements that will need serious consideration. Whether you go for a sophisticated up-do or a loose, flowing style, it's all a matter of personal preference and what helps show off your dress best.
Often, the focus on bridal hair is all about the wedding day, but as any bride-to-be will know, there's plenty of important dates in the calendar in the lead up to the big day where you'll want to look polished.
We're all minding the pennies these days and it might not be feasible to fork out money to get your hair done by a pro each time, so your best bet it to invest in hard-working hair tools that will take you every step of the way, from your engagement party, to the hen weekend, the rehearsal dinner, day two, the honeymoon and beyond.
For brides chasing a more natural DIY look - think beachy hair, minus the frizz, using the right products and tools will make all the difference, but it also helps to know how exactly you should be using these to nail the look.
For celebrity stylish Dylan Bradshaw, there's one hair tool that should be in every bride's hair kit - the Dyson Corrale which is the ultimate investment into beautiful hair allowing you to achieve both sleek and bouncy, curly styles with lots of volume.
Engineered for all hair types, the Corrale is not only really easy to use, but it's also a really practical tool that helps your achieve your preferred style no matter where you are, and with half the damage* thanks to it's intelligent heat control technology and unique flexing plates that shape around your hair, gathering it nearly together on each pass.
Fully chargeable in 70 minutes, another great feature is that this straightener can be used corded or cord-free (for up to 30 minutes!), which means you have complete freedom to move around - essential for on-the-go styling or when you're getting ready in a busy room with limited access to mirrors and plugs.

'Using the Corrale, it's really easy to create something beautiful and textured that's very natural and not at all hairdressy. It can be difficult to do beachy hair if you don't know how to do it right, but I promise it's very simple.'
To achieve an effortless but polished look, Dylan says it's all about using the Corrale to create half twists, leaving the ends out as you go along. The secret to this show-stopping look is the root lift and if you're wondering how to create it yourself, keep watching!
