With the New Year moving into summer, you can try a number of looks and make your look work.  The prom hair style you pick will work for extremely short hair or a long hair that stops at your waist.  One way to look for current hair styles is to look at the stars for the latest hot hair styles... the most watched Hollywood stars are: Jennifer Love Hewitt (The Time of Her Life), Michelle Williams (Dawson’s Creek), and Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare in Love).  These gals know the score and can go from a casual hair style to elegant, sophistication for any part they play.  You need to decide the part you want to play and have several hair styles to fit the occasion…or the guy!

Romantic

Let’s go over several ways to get THAT Look you want:

Number one on anyone’s list is that romantic look.  This type of prom hair style works for the springtime.   You can use soft curls from curlers or from your naturally curly hair.  For the romantic hair style just incorporate small flowers that are completely understated (no gaudy colors) that match the dress or accessories that you will wear.  There are lots of magnetic and clip that can add that special touch.  Most women at the party won’t take the time…you will be the one!


Another style says I’m the
innocent type.  This works best with a naughty mindset to keep him going in circles.  This prom hair style is done with dramatic, loose ringlets that frame your face. It is important to lightly comb and use a light spray.  You might use only your fingers to get the right picture.  As above add some tiny, real tiny clips that give a little sparkle.  Your makeup should be done with sexy, soft eyes and a well applied lip gloss for the perfect touch.

 

Exotic

For the exotic, vixen…Put your hair up with a tight ponytail.  Try the elegant fanned updo that you can find also on this site.  With the right clothes, and accessories you can be anything you want to be.  Use the right jewely, just a bit overstated, to give that sophisticated, vamp look.  Importantly this prom hair do will work for many occasions and should be one of your best standbys.

A new category to consider is the pop diva look. This look has the bad girl, innocent look locked up.  The popularity of this look over the last 2 years is amazing.  The stars like Britney and Christina are cornering the scene. This look includes some braids and can give you that walk in the room impact you might want.  The key to this look is to combine any of the hairstyles that you look good in with small braids or shims (braided hair that is unbraided and left kinky.)  Be sure to read our page on problems with braids .  You don’t want to damage your hair.

A look that is sexy is one of the most popular prom hair styles this spring. This is the Cameron Diaz knock him off his feet hair do.  The way to do this is to add a light hair gloss.  This gives the hair style highlights and depth.  You want the hair to frame the face and give him something that balances your hot bod.  Make the look work with the right dress and makeup.  Dare him to look down…everyone else will be looking your way too. Add a uneven part, pull a large strand of lighter hair across to the opposite side in front, use some sparkles, in short experiment before the big day.

 

Dramatic
In order to make a big change that everyone will notice change from a short hair style to a long sophisticated look with add-ons.  These are correctly colored falls or extensions.  A hairpiece works great, but is something that you must plan for.  Don’t pull your girlfriends fall out of the closet and think it will work. A poorly matched hair extension is worse than nothing at all.  Once you get the right hair accessory, wear it a few times before the big date.  You will get used to it and it will feel right in just a short time.  Prom updo’s are overall the way most women go to the prom and get that dramatic change from everyday to elegant.

Whatever your hair says, make sure you have tried the prom hair style before the big night.  On the day of the prom, you need to be relaxed…not stressed out. Once you have your hair made up, use a spray on shine .  Most women don’t know or have never used a product like this.  It will make a big difference.  
 

Remember though, be relaxed and have a good time.  No matter how great you look, true beauty comes from within.  Be a good person, and everyone will want to spend time with you.
