1.) If you have long hair and are wearing a dress that bares some
skin on top, leave it down and play up the texture a little. You can use a
large barrel curling iron to make some big soft waves. Using Velcro rollers
is also an easy way to create a beautiful body and bounce once your hair is
dry. For an added touch, twist each piece inward before you secure it with a
festive hair accessory.
2.) If your dress has a high neck, wear your hair up. A twist or
chignon is very elegant and after you've created your up-'do, be sure to
pull a few strands around your face to soften the look and create the
illusion that you threw your hair up effortlessly.
3.) Women with short hair also have several options for formal
occasions. For a super-sleek look, part your hair on the side and use
styling gel to add shine and keep your hair flat against your head. If you
want a style with a little more body, go a bit messy on the top and around
the crown, while keeping your silhouette tight around the ears.
Whatever style you choose, test a few times before the big night. Practice
makes it perfect. This will also give you the chance to experiment with
different looks and find the one that works best for you.
