Helping You Decide On Your Prom Hairstyles
Teenagers usually face several different feelings when prom time starts getting closer. Girls worry if someone will ask them and boys worry if the girl they ask will say yes. Once it has been decided that you are going, a girl will start to focus on finding the perfect prom dress and prom shoes, as well as makeup choices and checking out dozens of different prom hairstyles for their special night.
One nice thing about hairstyles is that along with the more traditional up-dos are new ones that are constantly being created as well. You should experiment with many different styles, some that you have tried before and perhaps some that you have always wanted to try but have never had an occasion to go all out. Remember that formal prom gowns and short prom dresses will likely call for very different hairstyles, so don’t decide on your hairdo until you have the dress. If you can’t afford to have your hair coiffed professionally, then look online and in magazines for ideas and try to get someone to help you do your hair. You can always add a ribbon to your hair that is the same color as your dress.
You can create some unique prom hairstyles from a ponytail by separating it into two strands and then twisting each into random knots that you can secure to the back using crystal or beaded bobby pins. Or, pull your hair into a high ponytail and then pull down random strands of hair, perhaps slightly curling them first. Any of the ponytail styles look softer when you pull out little wisps of hair in random places, but especially around the face.
Try putting your hair into a ponytail that starts at the midsection of your head and use ribbon that matches your prom gown to weave a crisscross effect into your hair. If you decide to wear your hair in a ponytail, then use large curlers in your hair to create curl and bounce and perhaps finish it with a shine spray. For a no fuss party do, simply pull hair into two equal pony tails, either high or low, and then knot the two sections together. Use bobby pins to secure or to hide any stray hairs you don’t want. Don’t forget that weaving flowers, real or silk, into your hair is a great way to enhance the style with a great feminine touch.
Don’t feel left out of great prom hairstyles just because your hair is short. One very trendy look is hair stencils and they actually look better on shorter hair. You can choose one that is already made or design your own for a look that you know will be completely unique. This is something that you can do by yourself, but it is usually a little easier with help. Once you have decided on the design you can choose a color that matches your prom gown or simply use a gold or silver glitter spray.
