THE MANE

How you wear your hair can make a big difference to your overall appearance, but before it is styled, please take your dress into consideration.

STRAPLESS dresses

The design is basic where most of the support comes from the mid section and back. These dresses tend to show a lot of skin on the back and chest.

Tip 1:

• Add volumes to your hair with a curling iron by flipping and curling strands together.

Tip 2:

• Let your hair hang. Straighten your hair and get an uneven bang to complement this style dress.

Halter, V-neck dresses

For individuals who want to show off your busts, ensure your hair does not cover the neck since these dresses cover most of your upper torso.

Tip 1:

• To achieve a complete look, pin your hair up or back when there is a lot of detail around the neck.

Tip 2:

• Spiralling unequally locked strands is unique, but try to keep a few hanging in your face.

There is so much you can do with locks.	By pinning her locks in a ponytail and letting a few hang around the forehead and neck, Lashana is styled simply but elegantly.

HEAVILY DETAILED DRESSES

This includes those with cropped sleeves, short necklines and detail parallel to the bust.

Tip 1:

• Style hair in one direction, either back, left or right so as to show off the dress as much as the hairstyle.

Tip 2:

• Let your hair be the crown. Follow the design that is along the bust of your dress, for example plaiting strands in a circle above the forehead.

SHORT DRESSES WITH LITTLE DETAIL

A short dress with simple cuts, represented by one memorable feature, for e.g. a short corset crest or simple bust with frilled hem, requires dramatic hair-dos. Your hair should sell your overall ball look.

Tip 1:

• Get creative with your hairstyle, corn row your moist hair a day before. This leaves your hair with short, sharp crimps for you to hang loose.

Tip 2:

• Use rollers in your hair overnight ensuring to add moose to keep curls tight. The next day your hair will be transformed from flat to all that.
