Hair is one of the most important parts of getting ready to go to prom. The day before prom, hair gets brushed, pulled, twisted, teased and sprayed into the perfect style, and for all that, you’d better get a style you like. Curly styles are the most popular, mainly because of the elegant look they give to any prom attire. This is a guide to finding the perfect curly hairstyle for prom, whether it is worn up, down or in between.
Wearing Hair In An Up ‘do
Choosing an up ‘do is a smart choice, especially if you plan on dancing the night away. An ideal up-do keeps your hair out of your face and also prevents the curls from falling due to any girl’s natural enemy- gravity. Besides the practical elements of deciding on an up-do, there are aesthetic benefits from choosing one. Curly up ‘dos are beautiful; they remove any distraction that might take away from the beauty of your makeup and jewelry. Up-dos are also great because they look great with a multitude of different hair accessories. Flowers, pins, and classy clips all look great in a curly up ‘do. One good idea for creating pins that go with whatever dress you choose is to buy large bobby pins and pretty beads that match your dress (they can be pearls, glass beads, diamond studded beads, etc). Then push one bead on each bobby pin. These can be placed in the hair and add a classy look to any prom dress.
Wearing Hair Down
While wearing hair down can be a pain while trying to dance, it looks great with a chic strapless dress. If this is the way you want to go, I would suggest keeping a hair tie with you in case the curls start to lose definition and you need a quick fix. Try to find really cute dressy hair ties that way when they’re on you’re wrist it’ll simply look like a bracelet.
Wearing Hair Half-Up
Wearing hair half-up can provide the best of both worlds! It can show of your hair length and, because of the fact that some hair is tied up, you can always tie the rest up. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about finding a hair tie that looks nice enough to double as a bracelet while matching your dress. Half-up hairdos also allow a lot of room for adding cute hair accessories so you will have the chance to look classic and elegant or young and sassy!
Where Can I Find The Perfect Hairstyle?
The Internet is a powerhouse of prom hairstyles, all you have to do is type in “prom hair” into any search engine and you’re guaranteed to find plenty of results. But if scouring the Internet isn’t your style, magazines are a great way to go! Prommagazine.com allows visitors to order their own copy of the magazine, which features interviews with JoJo, Cheyenne Kimball, and Ashley Tisdale. Don’t forget, salons often have plenty of stylish books and magazines for you to go through, so if your friends want to spend a day looking for the perfect hairstyle why not stop at some salons, check out their magazines, and while your there find out some prices!
