are looking for your hair to appear straight, this style is as easy as 1,2,3 as it is easy if you have straight hair and would love some curl.

If you are someone with curly hair and you want your hair straight, the key is straightening your hair with a hair straightener or hot iron. Take sometime getting your hair from underneath, as well as, on the top. It doesn't have to be perfect, but do your best. After you continue, it is best to apply a straightening promoting product on your hair. Some of the best straightening products are by Avon's Mark. as they work great and are extremely affordable. Whether a cream, gel, or spray base, the products work individually with unique benefits. The key is finding the product that works for your style and using it. It is important to not abuse the products, but apply generously, as this will be sublimely effective, rather than efficient. Once you have completed, simply apply an anti-frizz agent, along with a sheen and you are done with that part.

If you are someone with straight hair and you want it curly, the key is adding curl using an iron. Although curlers work, they are unnecessary for this as you don't need to curl your entire head of hair. It is important to use curling irons with a base no larger than 1 inch. After you have curled your hair, you want to add a curling agent to your hair. This promotes the curl, without weighing your hair down and making it look rather faux. It is best to use something that is on a spray wavelength rather than on a creme or gel wavelength, however; that is entirely up to you. Once you have applied this product, you want to add hairspray for it to hold.

Once you have prepared your hair, you now want to create the actual up-do part of the style. Whether with a Barrett or a hair pin, you need an accessory that holds your hair up. You can choose if you want the hair to be on top of your head or towards a middle length. As you decide, it is important to know what barrettes and pins you want to use. Try to find something that matches your hair color and if you cannot, find something that matches what you are going to wear. Once you have found the area you want to start the fallout up-do, simply create it. Add the barrettes and pins. Remember, this hairstyle is simple and far from perfect, so expect the fallout.

You can now pat yourself on the back and commend yourself for achieving the ultimate prom hairstyle. Congratulations and good luck!
