Bridesmaids- Who pays for hair?

[aephi alum]

I kept it low-key. I told my bridesmaids, "Do whatever you like with your hair. As long as it's clean and nicely done, do whatever you like." My three bridesmaids had very different hair - one with thick straight dark hair, one with short curly dark hair, and one with long thin blonde hair. If any of them had chosen to drop $100 on an updo, that would have been their choice. (None did.)

My thinking is that, if a bride dictates that her bridesmaids have a specific hairstyle that costs a lot of money, she should at least chip in if not pay outright. A wash, cut, and updo can be damn expensive.
