Prom Hairstyles for 2007
Step up the romance with an elegant hairstyle for prom. Wavy,
curly or straight, you'll want the style you choose to compliment
your facial features and last throughout the evening. You can opt
for a classic updo, or eye-catching, trendy style. Consider your
dress when making your decision and coordinate your hair and
accessories.
Prom or homecoming is a good excuse to update your hairstyle. If you're
wanting a drastic change, try new techniques two or three weeks before the
event. If you only need a trim, one week in advance should suffice.
The same goes for hair color. Give yourself time to adjust so you're
not left feeling like an oddball at the dinner and dance.
Hairstyle Trends
Popular, romantic hairstyles for 2007 include snazzy updos, buns, soft
curls, or a French twists. If you want to be a little more daring,
use a flat iron for straight, sleek hair and add a zigzag part.
For a trendy, girlish look, a simple pony tail accented with jeweled hair
accessories will keep things simple. Pull out some hair around your
hairline to frame your face and give you a wispy, feminine look.
Styling Tips
Think ahead. Schedule an appointment with your stylist well in
advance. Salons are overbooked in the Spring because of both weddings and
proms. Take along any hair accessories or earrings you plan on
wearing if they may have a bearing on your hairstyle. A picture can
better portray the hair-color and style you have in mind. Take
advantage of the situation, the more input you give, the more likely
you'll be happy with the results.
- Check the weather forecast and plan accordingly. If rain is in
the forecast, arrange to be dropped off directly at the entrance
or take an umbrella.
- Use a conditioner or hot oil treatment if your hair is prone
to frizz. The season is getting warmer and your hair will react
differently to heat and humidity.
- Your hair will probably be exposed to the weather more than
usual. Use a conditioner or hot oil treatment to prevent frizz.
- If you're wearing an updo, it will look stern if it's pulled
too tight. Leave out some strands for a natural look and loosen up
a little.
- Always carry a comb and a small can of hairspray with you.
- Have some bobby pins handy for emergencies.
- Get your eyebrows shaped or touched-up when you go in for your
final trim or hair cut.
