Up, down, up, down, up, down...

Perhaps one of the most difficult decisions I have to make in regards to the wedding is whether to wear my hair up or down. No, I'm not kidding. It's a hard choice.

See, though I hate to admit it, my hair is straight. Stick straight. Looks like I use a flat iron daily, straight. So, for as long as I can remember (at least since 5th grade), I've put my hair in rollers, everyday. I really don't know why I do it; my hair doesn't hold curl remotely well. But somehow, this daily ritual makes me feel better.

Because I curl my hair daily, I wear my hair down everyday. Seriously, if I go to all that effort, the last thing I want to do is put it in a ponytail. Thus, after more than 3 years of dating and a year of friendship, my FH has only seen my hair up (excluding the ponytail I rock at the gym) 20-30 times.

So, when it comes to my wedding day do my FH wants it up.

My mom also wants it up, pretty much all my friends want it down, my sister (and MOH) wants it up, and I want it down....provided I had different hair sprouting from my hair follicles.

But, since it seems I must work with what I've been given, I want it up....I think.

Here's the "up" inspiration:

These first few all have side swept bangs, which I don't have, but could easily cut. I think the side swept bangs make the styles look less severe (which is a good thing, because with my large features, I have the tendency to look severe).




These styles have no bangs, which may be better as my fine hair tends to get greasy fast, and I don't want oil-slicked bangs mid-reception.



Here's my if-I-didn't-have-such-crappy-straight-thin-hair "down" inspiration:

So, do you think I should try and wear my hair down, despite its tendency to go flat/straight? Or should I just give up and go with an updo?
