UP DO's Ideas and Advice

This is the season for proms, weddings, graduations and more.

Getting you hair ready for these fun events many times means an up do. Wearing your hair up really pulls your look together for these exciting events.

A few helpful tips for a successful do.
MAKE SURE TO WEAR A BUTTON DOWN TOP to the shop....hard to pull your tops over a nice new updo.

*arrive to the salon with your hair already washed and fully dried. If you have super curly hair and will need it smooth - a once over with your flat iron always helps...but ask your stylist when making an appointment. DO NOT use straightening serum as this might prevent your hair from curling when your stylist uses the curling irons.

*do not use lots of conditioner or moisturizer (the curls do not hold as well)

*when making an appointment with your stylist-be sure to tell them your are having an up do style as more time is needed....

*bring pictures(photos) to help describe what you are interested in. For brides a consultation before your big day is always recommended. Set up this appointment the same day of your formal photo shoot or your wedding shower and your hair will look great!

*Hair accessories always add a touch of charm.
IDEAS:
Of course you can shop for clips and barrettes....OR heres some interesting ideas.

-use beads threaded on hair pins(one side of pin is bent to hold bead) then inserted into hair style. Pearls are especially nice for Brides.
-earrings can also be used...just place and held in with bobbie pins.
-buttons are so pretty as you can find many designs and colors to match with your outfit.
