[caption id="attachment_158" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="Perfect Prom Updo Hairstyle"][/caption]

Finding the perfect hairstyle is not as difficult as it may seem to some. You just need to consider what it is you want and what suits you best.

Before you embark on a new prom hairstyle, you should consider these things:

Your Hair Texture and Hair Length
- You must consider the texture and thickness of your hair. If you have long hair it's much easier to put in an updo hairstyle than short coarse hair. Although short coarse hair can be made into an updo style with tight twists that cascade upwards on the head then with the addition of some extensions or a hair piece for added length, can make for the perfect updo hairstye.
Now that extensions are so popular, anything goes. Consider Jessica Simpson and her $20,000 hair extensions. Although you don't have to spend that much for a similar look as Jessica, it is very feasible to do on a limited budget.
Your Face Shape - Collect lots of formal hair style pictures. It's especially good to find pictures of celebrities with the same face shape as you. What looks good on them may easily look just as good on you.
While making your collection of prom hair style pictures, you want to be sure to consider the shape of your face as well as the length of your hair. But don't do all of this along. A professional hairstylist can help you choose the right style. Show your stylist at least 3 pictures of what you like and they will most likely be able to make it a style suited just for you.

But don't forget to also consider the style of dress you will be wearing to prom. The style of your dress and your hairstyle can make a huge impact in your overall look.

 

Prom Updo Hairstyles

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. The trick to getting your updo to look its best is to use several of these pins in different directions to hold your hair in place. Don't rely on too much hair gel as this just makes your hair stiff. You want your hair to be able to withstand the humidity, but also to be touchable by your date.
You want your curls to be loose. The looser and bigger the curls, the cuter you will look. First, pull your hair up, use some baby powder to add fullness and then tease your hair. Other looks are more classic, like the French Twist. 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. No, not a real rat. You can get this at a beauty supply store. 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. Once you have them, you can position them in place on top of your head, towards the back. You don't want your hairstyle to make your face look too long, unless you have a round face, and then it will help balance your geometry. You can use shine serum to give you that sleek sophisticated look. Be sure to use plenty of pins, flexible hairspray, not the max hold kind, and gel if you need it.

Experimentation before prom will be the key. Use what works best for your hair. Find some pictures on the web; try it out with these ides using the pins, gel, and hairspray.

 

 

New Updo Hairstyles for You

[caption id="attachment_152" align="aligncenter" width="468" caption="New Updo Hairstyles"][/caption]

Do you need a new hairstyle? If you have long hair, it is easy to get into the ponytail rut. Just put it up and go. But long hair offers a lot of hairstyle options if you are going to the prom, having senior pictures or bridal pictures made, going to a wedding, or just needing an updo for a formal party. You do need to know some basics of hair care before getting started with long hairstyles though. Knowing the best way to shampoo, comb, brush, and dry your hair and the tools to use can give you a head start in your hairstyle.
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. Only apply shampoo to the scalp and then rub in circular motions to clean the scalp thoroughly. When you rinse, work the shampoo through the ends of your hair and this will also help with less tangles. Your goal is to clean your scalp, so it is not necessary to rub shampoo into the ends of your hair. 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. Using a large tooth bone comb, start at the ends and work up a little, about an inch at a time, getting the tangles out. If you are working with dry hair, a large paddle brush works best. Again always start at the bottom and slowly work up to the scalp. When blow drying long hair, use your fingers to comb through the hair from scalp to ends while drying.

Third, you need a few hair tools on hand to make the perfect hairdo. They include a large comb, square paddle brush, bobby pins, hairpins, and elastic bands. The best elastic bands to use are covered with some type of material. You might not have known there is a difference in bobby pins and hairpins, but using them correctly will help your hairstyle. Bobby pins touch in the middle and are designed to hold the weight of your hair. Hairpins are made to hold hair in place that has already been secured with bobby pins. You can make curls and then spread them and hold them in place with hairpins.

There are lots of great hairstyles you can choose once you have mastered the basics and have your hair clean and ready. 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. Talk with your hairstyle professional about some of the many hairdos that would work for you.

 

Long Hair and Updo Hairstyles

[caption id="attachment_149" align="aligncenter" width="323" caption="Long Updo Hairstyle"][/caption]

You have straight hair and you are ready for an updo or "long hair" service and you go to a full service salon and what - they don't offer "long hair" service. Guess its not so full service after all. So you go to another beautician and they don't know what to do either. Why is that? Some of the reasons hairstylists don't offer "long hair" or updo service is because:
None of their clients have long hair
Never learned how
Takes too long
Learned, tried it, but got out of practice and forgot
Too confusing

To the hairstylist, watching is easy. But when you are actually doing the work, it becomes confusing. It's hard for a hairstylist to get and keep clients. If you are able to offer total hair services, including long hair, then you'll be keeping new clients instead of sending them away. One way to help you get over some of the points listed above is to practice on a wig or mannequin. When you are in-between appointments, this will offer you practice to gain confidence and allows you to display your work to your customers.

If you are good at long hair, then you need to be the hairstylist that your competitors send their customers to. Advertise that you do long hair. There are plenty that don't do long hair and this approach may get you the client list you need.

Let the bridal shops know you are available, along with the formal dress shops. Girls going to prom always want fancy hairstyles. Offer your services free to the bridal show as a promotion for your business. This helps you gain more updo customers and helps the bridal shop. Win-win.

You can also create a photo album of the mannequins you have been practicing on, or on customers. This will give prospective customers your ability and creativity level. Another idea is to work with a clothing store on their special event or sale days - and offer your services to attract customers. You can make these books up inexpensively with a digital camera and color copies. Have them bound with some of your business cards and ask if you can display them at the bridal shops.

Complimentary cards are very good, too. You can offer a discount on the back of the card. When a client gets their hair done, then give them some cards to hand out when they are asked where they got such a cute hairstyle. This works especially well at high schools before proms and dances. As always, if they don't need long hair services, they will probably pass the card onto a friend.

How much should you charge or expect to pay for long hair or updo services? Well, its different all over the country, but in general, the price should be at least $5 over the normal hairstyle whether it's a shampoo and blowdry. Be prudent in your pricing as if you get a client that will only require 15 minutes for a braid or a quick updo, then you may not want to charge more.

The Origins Of Cornrow Updo Hairstyles

[caption id="attachment_143" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="Popular Updo Hairstyle"][/caption]

Because they're currently popular with young people and the hip hop and rap communities, cornrows may seem like a modern and cutting edge hairstyle. However, they've actually been around for hundreds of years. They've achieved this popularity because of their versatility and maintainability. These factors make cornrow updo hairstyles perfect for a variety of occasions.
A cornrow is a tiny braid which is woven right next to the scalp, sort of like a french braid. It can take hours to cover an entire head in these plaits, but the result is a clean, polished look. The first people to braid hair in such a way lived in Africa, where different regions had different customs associated with the braids. For instance, only women traditionally wore their hair in cornrows in Nigeria, while warriors and kings wore them in Ethiopia. The hairstyle was brought to America by slaves, who continued to practice it as a way to hold onto their traditions.

By the middle of the 20th century, it had become unpopular to wear one's hair in cornrows. Most black women chose instead to straighten their hair. Many of them changed their minds, however, when they saw actress Cicely Tyson on television with cornrowed hair. Over the next couple of decades, it became extremely popular for black women to wear their hair in a style that exhibited its natural texture, such as the cornrow.

Because the style began in Africa, it is often presumed that only black men and women can pull off cornrows. However, Bo Derek disproved this theory in 1979 when she was seen in the film '10' wearing her hair in long, blonde braids. Later, the hip hop movement of the 1990s had men and women of all ethnic backgrounds successfully sporting the hairstyle.

This hairstyle offers a variety of options to its wearer. The braids are easy to maintain, needing only a gentle washing and a little oil every couple of days, so they're great for anyone who doesn't want to worry about a lot of upkeep. At the same time, they can look fantastic as part of a formal updo. Musical artists like Alicia Keys, Ciara, Lil Mama, and Mya have all made stunning appearances with their hair partially or totally braided.

While cornrows were first seen in ancient Africa, they have made a successful transition to modern America. They are simple to maintain, so they are a great look to wear every day, but they can also look amazing as part of an elaborate updo. These qualities make them a classic and versatile hairstyle.

Taylor Swift is one of the most popular pop, country musicians of today. In addition to being known for her music, she is also known for her sense of style and her hair. If you are interested in getting Taylor Swift updo hairstyles, this article may have the tips that you need in order to get the style that you are after.
When this celebrity pulls her hair up, you should notice that she never goes overboard with the neatness. Instead, she tends to let her hair stay somewhat loose and free. She never restricts herself to sleek and tightly pulled back buns. Her hair tends to be slightly messy, yet very put together.

In order to get this style, you will have to start by curling your hair. Her hair is always curly, but she generally uses medium sized curls that are loose and can easily move, rather than really large curls or tight curls.

To curl your hair, you have several options. You can try using a traditional curling iron, for example, or you can give rollers a try. Alternatively, you can try using a medium sized straightening flat iron. You should use whatever works best for you, but do not forget to apply some kind of heat protection spray or hair cream.

After your hair has been properly curled and allowed to cool down, you will need to turn it into a loose bun. You can use bobby pins and other clips to do this. If your hair is very long, you might also be able to create a loose bun naturally.

If you are having trouble creating Taylor Swift updo hairstyles, you may want to have your hair done by a professional. Oftentimes, the professionals will also be happy to guide you through the process and recommend products that can help you create your perfect look.

 

Sweet Summer Updo Hairstyles

[caption id="attachment_137" align="aligncenter" width="275" caption="Wedding Braided Updo Hairstyles"][/caption]

Hair. Most women can't live with it, and they certainly can't live without it. It seems that every woman has complaints about their own hair. Straight-haired women long for luscious curls and curly-haired women long for sleek, straight locks. However, when summer comes around, everyone tries to find a way to keep their hair up, out of their faces and off their necks, especially for those fancy, summer evening soirees and nights out on the town. The solution to all of this is finding yourself the perfect summer updo hairstyles that flatter your face shape, hair type and outfit. Here are some suggestions to get the ball rolling.
For curly-haired dames, a great updo hairstyle idea is the textured coif. This way, you don't have to fight your unruly curls or frizz from the summer humidity. Just pin your curls up with several bobby pins or hair plaits low on the back of your neck. Use a little bit of hairspray to keep the curls in place, and you have a ready-made, elegant, flapper-girl coif to compliment your curls.

Another option when it comes to updo hairstyles for summer is the undone bun. This is perfect for all types of hair and requires very little effort. All you have to do is gather all your hair up, pull it back and pin it up in a high bun. Then, take a few well-placed strands out of the bun and let them hang down sort of messily (but chic) around your face. You can rock this updo after a day at the beach or while dressing yourself up for a fancy evening out.

If you have long, sleek, stick-straight hair, then a great option for you is the ballerina bun. Prep your hair with anti-frizz, straightening serum, and then gather it all up high on the back of your head and slowly twist it into a bun. The key to this look is eliminating all the frizz, so spray the bun with some hairspray to keep the top flat and frizz-less. With every strand perfectly in place, the ballerina bun will show off your beautiful face.

For curly-haired women or straight-haired gals, the ponytail is always a classic fallback option, though it is definitely one of the simpler updo hairstyles. Pull your hair back into a sleek ponytail. A low ponytail that cascades down the side of your shoulder is elegant, but if you want to draw focus to a nice pair of earrings or a necklace, pull the hair up into a higher one. Variations on the ponytail include side-swept bangs, or clipping your bangs back for a poof on top of your head. Once again, use hairspray or serum to control the frizz.

Last but not least, curly-haired or straight-haired women can always rock a side braid. Brush your hair out, and pull it elegantly into one long braid on one side of your head. If loose, shorter strands fall out of the braid and hang around your face, it only adds to the effortless elegance of the look. The side-braid is great for a daytime look, but can also be easily glammed up for an evening event.
