How is it that some girls have great prom hair, and other girls don't? It all depends on how you take care of your hair, and what you use on it. It is not easy. We all know how important it is to look good, and have the latest trend even on our heads.There are a few tricks you could try to get the hair style you want but most importantly, it is always a good idea to take good care of your hair and try to find a great hair doctor to help you with it! By hair doctor, I mean hair stylist at a salon. Most are very knowledgeable and can take a dried out frizz-ball, and nurse it back to a healthy beautiful head of hair. I am guilty of having my own hair doctor, and I am very happy I do!
A few tricks to try and are highly recommend, not to mention fun, quick and easy, are to find some hair extensions to match your natural hair color. I use them, and love them! It is highly suggested to take a close girlfriend or family member to the store to make sure the extensions match your natural color. That is actually the easy part. The more difficult part is to make sure when using them, it is not too obvious there are any extensions in the hair by making sure the clips are hidden well. The only thing to do in this situation is to play with the hair. An extra helping hand and set of eyes won't hurt either. This experiment would make for a great pajama party to learn how to use them with other hair-extension girlfriends!
There are a few different kinds of extensions to pick from depending on what you want to do. There are individual "chunks" of hair you could buy to just clip or glue onto strategic places where they are needed, or there are more expensive pieces that pin up on half of the head. There are also colorful single "chunks" to purchase at beauty supply stores, but not all carry the colorful strands. These are great to match up with your dress color or for a more rock star look. They can also be used every day for fun to spruce up any hairstyle or outfit. I am also guilty of using them on a regular basis!
Most importantly, take excellent care of your hair. Notice the word used here is excellent? How you take care of your hair directly reflects how it looks. This is obvious, isn't it? Well, even though most people know this, they don't follow it. Bleaching hair for summer is a big no, and damages the hair greatly. Yet most people still do it. Bleach blond hair is a thing of the past. Natural and healthy hair is the thing of the present and future, for that matter. Keep in mind that most over the counter colors are okay to use once in a while, but a healthy color is always best if applied by a professional at a salon.
Even if you can't afford a hairstylist on a regular basis, going once to an excellent salon and getting to know what your hair needs and what to use will make a world of difference. If you decide to do more drastic things like coloring your hair, you will definitely need to go more often. It may take a few trips and special treatments to get back to healthy, but it will definitely be worth it.
It is not impossible to have a beautiful healthy hair style for prom or any other occasion. Just keep in mind that it does take a little bit of time, effort, and money. If you'll be trying to style your hair yourself, it is always a good idea to prep ahead of time and have an extra set of hands to help you out and an extra big mirror.
Don't wait until the last minute either. Doing your homework and shopping around for hair extensions a few weeks ahead of time, will help greatly if you choose to go that route. So, take care of your hair, and good luck styling!
