Prom Updo Hairstyles
Executive Summary 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. Don't rely on too much hair gel as this just makes your hair stiff. You want your curls to be loose.
First, pull your hair up, use some baby powder to add fullness and then tease your hair. 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. 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. Be sure to use plenty of pins, flexible hairspray, not the max hold kind, and gel if you need it.
Use what works best for your hair.
New Updo Hairstyles for YouExecutive Summary By Stuart Simpson
Do you need a new hairstyle? You do need to know some basics of hair care before getting started with long hairstyles though. First, shampooing long hair is best done standing up, preferably in the shower. This helps reduce matting and tangling. You should choose a shampoo that fits your hair's needs. For instance, chemically treated or damaged hair should be treated with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Use several towels to blot your hair dry. Never rub wet hair because this is a major cause of matting and tangling.
Second, combing and brushing long hair can be difficult if you do not use the proper tools and technique. To make combing wet hair easier, start with a leave-in conditioner. If you are working with dry hair, a large paddle brush works best. When blow drying long hair, use your fingers to comb through the hair from scalp to ends while drying.
Hairpins are made to hold hair in place that has already been secured with bobby pins. Braids and updos are perfect hairstyles for proms, senior pictures, bridal pictures, weddings, and formal functions. Many hairstyle professionals can style your clean dry hair in an updo in about 15 minutes. Having long hair doesn't have to mean always wearing a ponytail.
