Tips for styling my own hair for prom?

As I'm saving for my college education I can't afford a hairdresser or anything but I can probably spare $20 or so for some good styling products. I was hoping to get some advice.....to start with, I plan on wearing a tiara but am undecided on leaving my hair all up or half up/half down. I have brown long curly hair (it reaches to the middle of my chest) and its naturally curly so I dont have the beautiful ringlets...lol...my hair is extremely frizzy and breaking in some places because its too dry. I tried to blowdry it to add volume which added to the bad condition I have now....its extremely thick too (has always been too thick for non-puffy ponytails) and hasnt been layered or cut or anything for over a year. my face is oval/heart shaped and I dont have any distinctive features besides blue eyes and thick eyebrows...my dress is red and strapless :) anyway, tips on good products and styles?

Get some Frizz-ease Serum (you can get it at WalMart). Also, figure out what you are going to do with your hair and practice styling it at least two days before the prom! DO NOT wait until the day of prom to decide what to do and try doing it!!!



After you wash and condition your hair, while it is still wet, you need to put some type of styling product in it - gel, mousse or spray. I think the Frizz-ease people have some new products, so look on the shelves when you go to the store.



Also, consider buying a magazine (any of the teen magazines right now) that have good hairstyle photos so you can get some ideas. You might also look online for "prom hairstyles" to get ideas.



Good luck and no matter what your hair does, have fun at prom! :)



(P.S. Remember to let the curls COOL before doing anything with them!)

Well missy listen up. I have some hair styles real cheap-o on the budget.



For straight hair- go to Target or Walmart and get a hair relaxer. Its the one with a black model on the cover $7 bucks. And it REALLY works! My boyfriend has nappy long curly hair and we tried it on him- it worked!



ightened, seperate a section from your face (like your going to cut your bangs) rubberband that section off. Now with the rest of your hair put it up in a high PONYTAIL(cheerleader high) Then with sectioned off hair rat it out for volume. Comb it out a little and pin it back with bobby pins-pompadour style. Like Gwen Stefani's.



I"ll edit aand add more in a lil bit!

i would say wear your hair half up and half down, it would probably look best with a strapless dress and usually updo's are really tight and i don't like the look of most of them, they make your head look odd shaped...and that's just about the last thing you want after having to get all those pictures taken. find some products to put the "curl" back in your curly hair (shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner to help the breaking and dryness and leave-in styling product to bring curls back to life and reduce frizz) or straighten it or straighten it and then make sprirals with a spiral curler (conair has a good one you can get for like $20) don't blow dry your hair and make sure that when you rinse out conditioner you use cold water. try using products from matrix, catwalk, redken, garnier fructis, TIGI (curls rock). make sure to practice your hairstyle a few times before the big night! good luck!
