Prom Updo Hairstyles
How can I get that classy updo prom or formal hairstyle? First
you need medium to long length hair. You will also need some
ponytail holders, gel, and long pins. The trick to getting your
updo to look its best is to use several of these pins in
different directions to hold your hair in place. Don't rely on
too much hair gel as this just makes your hair stiff. You want
your hair to be able to withstand the humidity, but also to be
touchable by your date.
You want your curls to be loose. The looser and bigger the
curls, the cuter you will look. First, pull your hair up, use
some baby powder to add fullness and then tease your hair. Other
looks are more classic, like the French Twist. You have to slick
back your hair with gel. Part it on the side and pull the hair
down. You may need the help of a hair rat. No, not a real rat.
You can get this at a beauty supply store. It will help you pull
your hair down if you have real smooth hair. You will still need
lots of long pins.
Starting with just straight hair, you can use large curlers to
get those nice big curls. Once you have them, you can position
them in place on top of your head, towards the back. You don't
want your hairstyle to make your face look too long, unless you
have a round face, and then it will help balance your geometry.
You can use shine serum to give you that sleek sophisticated
look. Be sure to use plenty of pins, flexible hairspray, not the
max hold kind, and gel if you need it.
Experimentation before prom will be the key. Use what works best
for your hair. Find some pictures on the web; try it out with
these ides using the pins, gel, and hairspray.
