Step up to romance with an elegant hairstyle for the prom.  Wavy, curyl or straight, you will 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 are 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 are not left feeling like an oddball at the dinner and dance.

Popular, romantic hairstyles for 2007 include snazzy updos, buns, solf curls, or a French twist.  If you want to be a little more daring, use a flat iron for straight, sleek hair, and add a ziazag 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 appoointment with your hairstylist 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 will be happy with the results.

LAST MINUTE INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Check the weather forcase, and plan accordingly.  If rain is in the forecast, arrange to be dropped off directly at the entrance or take an umbrella.

2.  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.

3.  If you are wearing an updo, it will look stern it is pulled too tight.  Leave out some strands for a natural look, and loosen up a little.

4.  Always carry a comb, and a small can of hairspray with you.

5.  Have some bobby pins handy for emergencies.

6.  Get your eyebrows shaped or touched-up when you go in for your final trim or hair cut.

7.  Last, but not least...Enjoy one of the most wonderful time of your life.  You are Cinderella at the Ball.
