Get The Most Glamorous Prom Hair Styles

cheesy on Oct-18-2008

So you’re all set for prom – you’ve got your gown, shoes, flowers, jewelry and the perfect date. The only thing left is your prom hair style. You need the most glamorously beautiful prom hair style in the room! We all know the most common prom hair style around – hair is bundled high on the head in a ponytail, while curls are arranged cascading around the face and then decorated with sequins or clips. This is a very feminine and pretty prom hair style. But we realize that not every girl wants this typical style. The following is an alternative idea for you to explore for your very special and unique prom hair style.

Think movie star and classic glamor for this beautiful prom hair style. Soft, billowing curls falling down upon your shoulders, just like the movie stars from the 40’s and 50’s are what make this prom hair style a wonderful alternative to an updo.

Hairstyling gurus such as Jesse Brigs call this new prom hair style “Hollywood glam”. He has helped develop a new waving technique he calls the S Wave Thermal Set that helps girls get the most romantic waves possible.

But what about girls with short hair?

Don’t’ worry, we haven’t forgotten about your prom hair style! One option for you is to get temporary extensions put in your hair just for your prom night, as long as your hair is four or five inches long. Or you can even put in bonded extensions and have the fun of long hair for up to three months.

Hair extensions are a simple way to get a beautiful prom hair style for either an up do or long and glamorous wavy look. Use hot roller, curling irons and a blow dryer to style your prom hair style. Just be sure you are careful near the bonds and/or clips so that you can readily conceal where the extensions are attached.

No matter what style you decide to go with on your prom night, make sure your prom hair style is one to remember. Be sure to add flowers, gems or jewels to glam up your prom hair style. Stencils can add temporary designs using hair glitter or paint. These instantly add a more trendy or funky look to your prom hair style.

Combs
Wide toothed combs are designed to detangle and smooth hair that is dried using a towel where as small toothed combs are designed for smoothing and finishing short hair styles. Conditioning your hair will give better results and using a detangling spray is also helpful.

Brushes
The idea of brushes is similar to that of combs. But the number of bristles and space between them as well as shapes and sizes vary such that they appear a wide variety of them. Bristled brushes are used for finishing and smoothing a hair style.

These are also used for distributing natural oils and massaging the scalp to maintain hair and scalp health. Other types of brushes that are used in relation to other styling tools are the paddle brush which has several rows of tines on a flat base. The paddle brush is used in blow drying straightened styles. It helps to keep hair smooth and flat. Round or curved brushes have rows of tines on a flat base and in the blow drying process are used to add soft curves to styles. The vented brush has widely set rows along with a air holes or openings at the base to allow circulation of air. These are designed for use with blow dryers.

Hair Dryers
A directed stream of hot air from the hair dryer is used to dry wet hair. A good blow dryer has a concentrator attachment to narrow the stream of heated air and direct it better. The diffuser is another attachment meant to soften the stream of heated air. It is most often used to dry curly hair.

Hot rollers
For changing the curl pattern of hair hot rollers are used. These rollers use a combination of heat and moisture to cool hair, Hair is wrapped around the heated tools to curl. The roller is allowed to cool and the hair is set. It is the most convenient procedure for curling of hair.

Irons Curling/flat
If you need to straighten your hair then the flat iron is the ideal choice. Curling irons allows you to add curls in specific places. The variety of sizes and shapes could be used depending on the length of your hair. Tiny, pencil-thin barrels are used for tight spirals and large barrels for big soft curls.
