Prom
Updo Hairstyles
by: Stuart Simpson 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.
