No matter how grandly we have got ready but if our hair is not looking good we don't look half good as we have desired. Ask me same thing happen with me in my sister's marriage. I had got ready in a grand way but at that time my hairs were not good so my whole appearance was not looking good. And being bride's sister I have to be there in every place and every ceremony and got many picture clicked. In almost all pictures I was not looking good and I feel very bad about them. So after that incident I tried many ways through which I can solve my hair problems.
