The Prom night is one of the most important and special occasions in every young girl’s life. Everything must be prepared before the big night-the outfit, shoes, the wheels, perfume, make-up, and to top it all-the hairstyle.
Going Classic
Young ladies have so many choices when it comes to prom night hairstyles. The most common hairdos during this special occasion are updos, half updos and down dos. Each of these categories has exceptional hairstyles that would match any prom dress. Half updos are often best for this occasion because the hairstyles under this category are easy to create and there are no complex buns or chignons to make. The hair can also be propped pretty much like the down do and it can be pinned at the back for a depiction of elegance. These are the most common half updo hairstyles:
• Pinned back curls
• The High Sweep updo
• High Ponytail
• Side Ponytail
These can be done by pleating the front of the hair and the rest should fall on both sides. This hairdo can be added with curls. Curled hair can be pinned at the back while the front hair has a full fringe. High and side ponytails are both hassle-free hairdos and are best for those who were not able to prepare well. Although these two can be done in just a few minutes, the results are still charming.
2008 Prom Dos
The 2008 prom season bring about many fashionable hairstyles. Most of these were taken from celebrities’ hairstyles during red carpet awards nights and premiers. Short hair is quite popular for prom night 2008 and the common choices include the bob and crop. These haircuts give emphasis to the feminine features of the wearer. Medium hairstyles, on the other hand, is comprised of the sleek look and added curls. The longer versions include the trendy updos and the left-flowing hairstyle.
• Short hairstyles are often smooth to depict glamour. This can be done by making sections of the hair and smoothing them out. The front hair (which is also the widest section) must be swept to forehead. Each of the sides should be styled close to the wearer’s face. This is a popular choice because it softens the features of person who wears it. Paddle brush can then be used to re-style the hair after a few hours of dancing. The edges can be smoothened with the use of a flat iron.
• A variation of the short hairstyle is to do all of the above except that the sides have to be combed to the ears and not left to flow. Either way, the young girl would surely catch one young man’s attention.
Medium-length hairstyles are versatile and would instantly look glamorous with the addition of a few curls. The secret is to have a sweeping fringe and added curls to the locks. Half updos also do well with medium length hair. These styles look formal and can be worn with the best prom dresses.
Long hair would never go wrong during prom night especially when proper hairstyling was done. There are much more choices for young ladies with long hair. There is the casual bun; the half updo; the sweeping fringe with added curly locks; parted hair with flicked edges; etc.

I want to buy clip-in hair extensions, so I can have short hair sometimes, but also long hair. What is the best type of extensions to get where I’ll be able to curl and straighten them and what not? I know theres synthetic hair extensions, but I wasn’t sure if it would fry under the heat from an iron. Also, I don’t really want to spend more than $100 on them. Any ideas?

There is always much debate as to whether human hair wigs or synthetic hair wigs are best. There is actually little doubt that human hair makes the most natural looking wigs. If you want the very best fitting and natural appearing wig your only choice is human hair. Now if price has to enter into the equation the story make take another twist. Synthetic wigs are available in a huge variety of styles at lower prices than human hair. There are actually advantages and disadvantages for both types of wig. Human hair wigs last longer than synthetic hair if properly looked after. If the wig is to be worn daily a human hair wig is the best choice.   A synthetic wig will wear out in about three months of daily use and need to be replaced. The human hair wig can be styled just like your own hair. You can use curling irons and hot blow dryers with no problems. A synthetic wig can,t be restyled to any extent and will be ruined by any kind of heat. Human hair can be dyed any color you want whilst synthetic hair is very difficult to dye.   So you can restyle and dye your human hair wig anytime but not so with the synthetic wig. Another advantage of human hair is that the wig “breathes” much better, so that your scalp does not perspire as much as it does under a synthetic wig. Human hair wigs have a natural feel since they are real hair, and you can continually restyle them in natural styles. Looking at the overall picture it is fairly ovbvious that a human hair wig is by far the best choice if you intend to wear it daily, and to restyle it from time to time. The main advantage of synthetic hair wigs is their relatively low price. If you want to wear the wig only occasionally a synthetic wig may be what you want. One advantage is that you can wash a synthetic wig and it will keep its style. A human hair wig must be restyled after every washing. A synthetic wig is a good choice if you have to watch your budget and only intend to wear it occasionally. Otherwise human hair is the way to go and you should buy the best wig you can afford. The best (and most expensive) human hair wigs are made from European hair. Wigs made from Asian hair cost less and are quite acceptable in quality and usabilty. This is particularly so if you are buying an African American style wig for which the long black Asian hair is ideal.
