Prom Style Forecast 2009
By Jessica McCafferty
Prom is all about preparation. From finding the ultimate gown to the perfect pair of heals, hair is yet another style dimension of your big night out.
Looking to the runway’s hottest trends is a fabulous indicator of the must have hair for Prom 2009. Instantly transform into a fashionista and be one style step ahead of your classmates. Read on for the three hottest looks to replicate for an ultra chic mane.
1. Retro Waves: Opt for a loose, polished curl with structure and bounce. Volume is the overriding trend for all waves this season.
A large barrel curling iron is the perfect tool to achieve this style. To begin, spray your entire head with a medium hold hair spray like White Sands’ Infinity Finishing Spray. This will increase the curl’s shine, while providing thermal protection and amazing hold. Taking 1-2 inch sized sections of hair, wrap your locks around the outside of a closed barrel. Hold for 10 seconds and repeat to create your desired look. Don’t be afraid to run your fingers through to enhance volume and texture. Finish with a firm hold hair spray.
2. Sleek & Straight: Show off ultra pin straight strands for a super trendy upgrade to your normal style. A ceramic and tourmaline flat iron is key to achieve this look. The new David Babaii for WildAid Styling Iron is a top choice for Hollywood’s favorite leading ladies including Kate Hudson. Add a decorative crystal clip matching your dress for a trendy twist. Finish with a shine and hair spray combo to reduce fly aways.
3. Twists & Braids: Ready to try another runway favorite? Add simple twists and braids for newfound hair flair. To effortlessly achieve this look, avoid frizz at all costs. Use a smoothing system complete with a shampoo, conditioner, and serum to fight frizzies from the start. Be creative and fashion different sized braids and clipped twists. For a super chic take, create a tousled updo by pulling back a large twist to the base of your neck.
Voila! Now, you are ready to tackle the newest trends and look prom fabulous too.
