How to Choose the Short Hairstyle Perfect for Your Prom
For a teenager, the prom is probably the most important event in her
life. Aside from stressing out on choosing the right dress, pair of
shoes and perfect jewelry, picking out a haircut or style can also be a
daunting task. If you have short hair, it can be another thing to think
about since you may feel there are less haircut options for you to
choose from. Contrary to this belief, short hairstyles are now becoming
more popular even in formal occasions such as your prom. If you have no
idea on which short prom haircut to wear, here are some tips:
- The Haircut – If you have long hair and you want to cut
it for the prom, choose a haircut based on the shape of your face.

ideal short haircuts for different face shapes. If your hair is
around your chin, you can have it shortened to match your dress.
Some popular haircuts for formal occasions include the short bob
hair cut, layered shag, razor cut and the blunt hair. Be aware that
you still need to consider the shape of your face, your facial
features, bone structure and body shape because these factors could
make or break your entire look. A professional stylist can recommend
the best haircut for you, but you can also suggest short haircut
ideas and he/she could personalize the cut for you.
- The Style – The great thing about short haircuts is that
they can be styled to create both casual and formal looks. The
styling products to use depend largely on your hair type. If you
have curly hair, you can use moisturizers to keep the locks under
control. If you want a sleek look, hair mousse can help in keeping
your hair flat. To add volume on the top of your head, hair spray
can do the trick. Remember to choose quality hair products to avoid
hair damage. The right style can put emphasis on your best facial
features and downplay your not-so-good features.
- Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize! – If you don’t
want to cut or style your hair, you can simply add the right
accessories. An elegant ribbon, tiara, flowers, headband, jewels or
other hair accessories can add drama to your normal hair. Before
adding the accessories, make sure to blow dry your hair and brush
thoroughly. Never overdo hair accessories as this may put focus on
your hair, instead of your face.
Whether you cut your hair short for the prom, style it to a more
formal look, or add accessories for drama, make sure that you’re
comfortable wearing your new look. The biggest advantage of wearing your
hair short to the prom is it is easier to maintain throughout the night,
leaving you more time to have fun and less time to fuss about your hair
at the event. |
