If your prom has a theme then keep in mind the theme when picking a dress, a short dress would not suit the theme of elderly Hollywood for example so be guided by your theme in case you have. Do some research and discover a picture or picture that inspires the way you require to look on your prom evening. Pick a dress in a colour to fit your skin tone and style to fit your body shape and be guided by a lovely friend's advice. Match your dress with shoes and accessories that compliment the look and style you are trying to accomplish.

Traditionally prom night is all about sweeping romantic dresses and hair swept up in a soft but sophisticated manner but this is the modern world and prom has to keep up with today's trends. There's no set rules about a style of dress or hair that is appropriate for prom but feeling glamorous and beautiful is all part of prom.

Traditional styles of dresses lead to a more traditional hair style which for prom means an up do but this doesn't must mean uninteresting. Top knots are a simple straightened hair tied up in a high pony with hair wrapped around and pinned but there can be any number of ways to decorate and enhance this look. Partially crimping will make the style unusual, partially braided will have the same effect and leaving a few pieces of straightened hair flicking out will give it a touch of texture.

Hair is an essential part of your look and keeping in mind the original picture you desired to accomplish, be inspired by how the hair is a part of the general look. In case you have a sassy shorter dress which is more modern in feel then for long hair windswept, textured and worn partially up can work well. Curling your hair loosely and tying a loose pony tail to side, letting a few curls on the front of your hairline frame your face will look stylised but flirty and feminine. Shorter hair could again be curled loosely but with a hair band or sparkly pins holding it partially back for a contrast between the sleek and the curly.

The trick is to experiment together with your friends before prom and get your hair straighteners, curlers and hairspray out and try to generate the ideal style to suit you.

A twisted bun is simple to accomplish with medium to long length hair. Taking the middle inch or your hair, pulling backwards and twisting till the hair can be tied at the base of your head including the remainder of your hair pulled back straight. Then work the remainder of the hair in to a twist and fix with bobby pins leaving some pieces flicking outwards to add more texture this ought to accomplish an elegant look with minimal hard work.
