Do-it-yourself formal hairstyles for your prom night

For one night only, you have the opportunity to look your best, as you break free and have fun. Prom night is more than just a memory fueling day, that builds memories that will be embraced forever. It is a part of life and a part of the high school experience. There is absolutely no trick on the planet that can create such a beautiful, yet authentic look, such as beautiful hair. The best part is, you don't have to spend a cent to look like a million bucks. So, save your money, as looking like a million bucks is much easier with these special, do-it-yourself formal hairstyles for prom night.

One of the most popular hairstyles on the planet is the sleek, yet very chic pony tail. Whether straight, wavy, or curly; this modern yet timeless style is one of the easiest styles to create. The key in creating this amazingly universal hairstyle is allowing it to look polished and presentable, while making a statement, as a result. If you are someone with wavy or curly hair and you want to go with the straight, yet sleek appearance, you want to straighten your entire hair with a hair straightener. If you do not have a straightener, you can also use a hot iron. It is important to try and straighten as much as you can. If you can't get it all straightened, apply a straightener gel or mousse all throughout your hair. A great straightening serum is Got2B So Smooth Creme straightener.

THE SLEEK PONYTAIL

As soon as you are done straightening your hair, you want to find a hair tye. Something that is more on a rubber band wavelength than a scrunchy wavelength. Depending on how high you want the ponytail, it is best to start this incredibly unique style from the middle. You can determine the middle by finding the top of your earlobe and working your way in to the center. Once you have found the right to spot, place the tie around the hair. Once you have managed to create the ponytail, you then want to use a gel based hair holder that will allow your hair to stay, leaving absolutely no fallout. There are so many products on the market today, that there isn't just one that exceeds the other. A great mousse is Marc Anthony's Pro Style Styling mousse. Apply the mouse generously all around the best of your head. It is important to apply generous amounts to where you are more prone to fallout.

After you have finished applying mousse, you want to add more straightener gel to the actual ponytail, rather than the base. As soon as you are done, you want to apply a frizz serum to the ponytail
