It seems like you wait your entire life to attend your prom, then the moment arrives and in an instant flashes before your eyes. The night is suppose to be filled with magic, glamour, fun, and sharing lasting memories with your friends. Needless to say “prom night” is special within itself, but you can make it an even more special occasion by spending it with your friends.

While it is perfectly acceptable to go to prom alone, having a date makes the occasion even more special. If you decide you don’t want to ask a date, consider going with a group of your friends. There is nothing like hysterical bloopers and laughs to make lasting memories, especially if any are caught on film.

The time spent and the memories made with your friends at prom will stay with you throughout the years. For a special evening, plan a pre-prom dinner at a local restaurant where you and your friends hang out after school and on the weekends. Be sure to make reservations a month in advance so you can get a table.

Arriving at prom with your date and/or friends in a glamorous limo creates another Hallmark moment. For the night you and your friends can live the fairytale life of Cinderella or Prince Charming; take in every second of the ride and smile knowing you soon will be entering into the real world.

In order to remember special memories, you have to be coherent and conscious. Drinking or getting high on prom night snatches away all the good memories. The only thing you can clearly remember will be a horrible hangover with an aching head, and possibly suspension from school.

Prom memories are cherished forever, even though your friends may come and go, you will always have the memories.

Proms are one of the most glamorous occasions in a young woman’s life. Weeks of shopping finally conclude with the perfect designer gown, dazzling accessories, and sophisticated shoes. The only thing missing from the checklist is an alluring hairstyle.

If you’re planning on doing your own hairstyle, begin early so you will have plenty of time, especially if your hair has a tendency to be uncooperative. It’s best to wash and condition your hair before styling; consider more affordable fragrant products such as Herbal Essence or VO5. Once your hair has been rinsed clean, blow dry, adding mouse, gel, or styling spray to eliminate pesky static and frizz. To create beautiful, fresh, clean curls, straighten your hair first, then curl. A wisped “up do” adds glamour to any prom hairstyle.

If you lack beautician skills and would rather leave it to the professionals, call and schedule an appointment at least 2 weeks in advance at a nearby hair salon. It helps if you have a picture of a prom hairstyle you desire, or can vividly explain to the hairstyle the look you want. Remember to wear a button-down or zipped shirt to the salon to avoid messing up your new “do.” You should plan on spending anywhere from $30 - $70 for a prom hairstyle, but don’t feel guilty for splurging on an unforgettable night.

If you lack beautician skills and money, you can still achieve a glamorous prom hairstyle. Whether worn in a sophisticated pony tail, loose bun, or French twist, your hair still has the potential to look like a million bucks. If all else fails, wear a headband. No, seriously, an accented headband with beads, sequins or rhinestones provides for a sleek and eloquent hairstyle.

Regardless of the prom hairstyle you’re trying to achieve, with a few tools and tricks, you can create alluring wisps, locks, curls, or twists.
