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.
