So you graduated. Congratulations! As a stylist, I know your prom hair style ranks right up there with your dress is important. This article will help you decide how to style your hair for prom. There are some considerations to ensure that your prom hair style is flattering and compliments your features and your dress.
Consider the following when choosing your prom hair style:
Face Shape - Just like your day to day hairstyle, your prom hairstyle should compliment your face shape. Here are some "golden rules." If you have a long face, opt for a model with a sweeping bang and more volume on the sides than on top. If you have a short face, try a style arrow with some height on top. A wide face should have some hair left down the sides to create length. It is a matter of proportion.
Dress Style and Neckline - Proportion is key here too. If you are wearing a thin dress, choose a hairstyle according to this figure. If your dress is wide on the bottom, make sure you have some volume to your hair to balance the overall look.
The neckline of your dress is important to consider when choosing your prom hair style. If your dress has an open front and back neckline, with the volume of your hair down would look great. However, if the back is covered or the front and back are both closed in, consider wearing most or all of your hair off the neck. An elegant chignon suit this type of dress very well.
Attachments - Do not use accessories sparingly in your prom hair style. Some rhinestone hairpins, small flowers, a pearl necklace, even a tiara can add character to your style and compliment your dress. Overuse of accessories may seem a bit garish, so keep a minimum, just enough to impact.
Hair Texture - Curls are a prom hair style staple and can be done in many shapes and sizes. But they are not the only way to texture your style. Small braids woven throughout the hair add a unique element. Bone straight hair can look great in a bun, so there's a bit of height to it and lots of sparkle. Finger Waves add a touch of glamor and are perfect for dress short hair styles.
Buns or not - Just because it is a prom hair style does not mean it should be a bun. Left hair down and styled in voluptuous waves can be as glamorous as a bun hairstyle. Especially with a few chosen accessories, a flower behind the ear or a rhinestone tiara. Taking into account wider is whether a style to suit your dress and your overall theme.
Theme - Your dress will be a certain "feel" to it. Glamorous, funky, classic, etc. .. Make sure that your prom hair style is in harmony with the mood of your dress. You create a head to toe look and if something is off, the light becomes annoying. So put some thought into how you want to describe your look and design a hair style around this theme. Or relate to your theme to your stylist if you are having your hair done professionally. (Which I highly recommend)
Consultation and Trial - If you have your hair done in a salon, it's a good idea to visit the stylist in advance for a consultation and / or trial. Consultations are usually free, the stylist will sit down with you, look at pictures, discuss your ideas and share their thoughts on what would look good and be workable on your hair type and face shape. A trial is an appointment where the stylist actually does your hair to see if your plans are what you really want. The test appointment is not free, but well worth it to avoid any potential prom day hair disasters.
One last tip, avoid anything too trendy for your prom hair style. Trendy is great for all day wear, but your prom is a memorable event that you will be looking for still photos. If you go too trendy, you could be looking back in five years and say "What was I thinking?" Moreover, this is a rare opportunity to explore your glamorous side and feel positively stunning in your ensemble.
