How To Choose Your Prom Hairstyle
Prom is one of the most important days of a school year. Prom is a fun time in which many women are looking for a beautiful formal hairstyle. Thankfully there are many styles to choose from when looking for your perfect prom hairstyle. Finding your perfect prom hairstyle can be as easy as finding your inspiration through hairstyle galleries on the internet, fashion magazines and even hairstyling books at the salon.
When searching for your perfect prom hairstyle there are a few things to consider. The first is the type of dress you will be wearing. Will it be long, short, form fitting or a-line? The next thing to consider is your face shape. Not every hairstyle looks good on every face shape. So it is best to consider your facial shape when considering your hairstyle so that you look your best on prom night.
There are many places to find inspiration for your prom hairstyle. The first is an online search. There are hundreds of photo galleries on the internet with pictures of beautiful formal and semi formal hairstyles. You can use Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. to locate different galleries. Once there they provide ideas, and even step by step ways to create the same looks.
The second place is fashion magazines. Many women find inspiration from the looks that celebrities are wearing to special events. Another way to find pictures of this hairstyle is to look through hair style magazines. These magazines often feature celebrity hairstyles as well as pictures of other women wearing beautiful formal hairstyles.
The third place to find pictures to inspire your prom hairstyle is at an actual hair salon. Most salons keep current hairstyle books up front for customers to browse through to help them find ideas. These books are a great way for a client to find what they are looking for while also being able to provide the stylist with not only an idea but a picture to help them see just exactly what it is the client is after.
Prom Updo For Thick Curly Hair
Prom Updo For Thick Curly Hair
When thinking of prom and how to style your hair in an updo, girls with thick curly hair seem to have the advantage over the girls who do not. The girls with out thick and curly hair will need to create volume on their own with the use of hot rollers or curling irons to help create lift and volume needed for an updo.
One elegant style you can try is a ringlet inspired updo. To accomplish this hairstyle you will need to wash your hair at least twenty four hours before you want to wear this updo, as dirty hair works better to keep and hold the curls in place. After you wash your hair use a diffuser to help create tight ringlets in your naturally curly hair. If you do not have naturally curly hair you will need to set your hair overnight on tiny rag, foam or spiral curlers to create a lot of tight curls. Once you have your curls created you will need to form a half ponytail in your hair and then loop that half ponytail around itself to create a loop. Pin this with bobby pins to hold the loop in place. Once this step is done you can take the bottom half of your hair and part it in the middle. Take one section and pull up toward the base of the half ponytail. Pin the curls as close to the base of the half ponytail to create balance. Repeat with the other side of your parted hair and secure with bobby pins. Once you have completed the steps you will have created a beautiful ringlet updo.
Another great prom updo for curly thick hair is a curly halfdo. To get this look you simply use a curling iron or hot rollers to add curl to your hair, if it is straight, if not use a styling product to enhance your already natural curls. Pull your hair back at the sides just above the ears and pin it up allowing some of the curls to hang softly to add volume and the appearance of an easy relaxed look.
There are a lot of great accessories that will compliment your prom updo. You can find rhinestone bobby pins, which will add a bit of glamour to your look. You can use special combs or clips which will allow you to put your hair up and enhance the look you are going for. And last but not least remember the best accessory of all, hairspray. Hairspray is a great tool to keep your hair in place once it’s been pined up. Updos can be both elegant and edgy. So have fun with the look you are going for.
