General Prom Hairstyle Tips
1. As you approach your prom,
follow a healthy hair care program.
2. Keep your hair well trimmed and shaped.
3. Avoid making any drastic hair changes right
before the prom including color, cut, styling or
texturing services (chemical straightening, relaxing,
smoothing)
4. Select hair accessories according to your style
of Prom dress.
5. Do your hairstyle research once you have your
Prom gown. Cut or print hairstyle photos you love.
6. Visualize your overall Prom theme and dress
style (formal, semi-formal, romantic, edgy, etc.,) and
co-ordinate your Prom hairstyle appropriately.
General Prom Hairstyle Tips For Prom
Hair At Salon:
Remember to select a hairstyle which
complements your face shape, best features and your
gown. Ask your stylist for their input if you're
not sure the best hairstyle for you.
1. If you wish to have your Prom
Hairstyle done at the salon, make sure you have a
confirmed appointment weeks, if not months before your
Prom. Ask to leave a paid deposit to guarantee
your spot and get a receipt in writing for your deposit.
2. Visit the salon as soon as your have your gown
and either take a photo (front, back, sides) or the gown
to show the hairstylist so you can pick your Prom
hairstyle options.
3. Have one or more Prom hairstyling sessions.
Take a friend or family member you trust and take
photos.
4. Build Prom hairstyle book and attach
photos of your gown and different hairstyles.
5. If you wish to have hair extensions, fusion or
clip-in, order them with as much advance time as
possible.
General Prom Hairstyle Tips For Prom
Hair At Home:
1. A simple but elegant hairstyle
often works best when you're doing your hair yourself.
Don't get hung up with overly complicated hairdos which
may stress you out.
2. Clip-in hair extensions, individual strands or
caps, can work wonders for adding instant volume,
highlights, lowlights or texture. Just be sure to
order in plenty or time.
3. Once you have narrowed your Prom hairstyle
selections to 2-4, try them on with your gown. Ask
friends and family to weigh in with their opinions.
4. Build Prom hairstyle book and attach
photos of your gown and different hairstyles.
5. Allow plenty of time to cleanse, condition, dry
and style your hair. Sometimes hair that has a few
hours to settle after being washed is easier to style
into knots, twists or updos.
Types of Prom Hairstyles
Always select a Prom hairstyle that
feels comfortable and secure. The last thing you
need to worry about is crazy hair or hair that falls,
flops or needs constant adjusting. Wear your hair
soft, simply and easy to manage and focus your attention
on your date, your gown and having fun. Remember,
you will probably only go to one Prom your entire life.
Make it special and enjoy it.
1. Stick with your normal
hairstyle (short, medium or long in length), but amp it
up with polish by turning up the shine or adding touches
of texture (curls, waves, body, curves).
2. Turn up the texture by starting with your
normal hairstyle but add curls and waves if normally
straight or go straight if normally curly or wavy.
Play with changing your parts, brushing hair off the
hairline if normally worn down around forehead or
changing up your fringe (pull it to a different side,
add texture).
3. Messy tousled twists, buns, or knots.
Easy to do if you have medium to long hair, they add a
touch of glam and polish without lots of complications.
4. Polished ponytails offer a myriad of looks from
the popular low side pony to the sassy top knot pony.
Ponytails are fine for Prom if they are sleek, polished
and work with your gown.
5. Traditional chignons, buns or updos can work
for a formal event. Remember to keep it age
appropriate and complementary with your gown.
6. Long sleek curls and waves. Nothing
defines romance better than long curls or soft
undulating waves.
7. Stick straight strands are less in style but if
you opt to wear your hair without texture consider a
half up/half down Prom hairstyle or a bone straight
style with a sparkly headband, barrette or tiara comb to
add a bit of glam.
8. Short and sassy. Amp it up with lots of
lush volume built into the crown or lots of shimming
shine.
9. Any hairstyle which works for your current hair
type, texture (naturally curly, wavy, kinky, combo) and
length. There are no wrong Prom hairstyles as long
as they look great on you and work with your gown and
prom theme.
