Prom Hairstyles and Other Great Tips for Prom!

OMG it's almost Prom time! One of the most important nights of a girls life! The amount of time and preparation that goes into this big event is unbelievable and if you are currently getting ready for Prom chances are it is all you think about and want to talk about! There are so many dilemmas and different things to consider! 
 
 
1. What colour and style dress are you going to get and where from? You don't want to turn up and have a twin there , unless you are an actual twin because then you can't help this! 

2. What are you going to do about shoes, a bag and accessories? Do you go matchy matchy or contrast and colour pop? You don't want to look alone colour so it all blends into one forgettable outfit but at the same time you don't want to colour clash and look like you haven't made an effort!

3. Do you get a professional make up artist or opt to do your own make up? If hiring a make up artist it's best to have a trial so you know you aren't going to look like a clown on prom night! If doing your make up yourself maybe try a few different looks beforehand. 

4. Do you get a spray tan or fake tan yourself? You don't want to look like you have been tangoed so be careful, a bronzed glow is all you need! 

5. Do you get your nails done? Shellac, acrylic or manicured? Each one is a beautiful look and adds some glamour to your fingers and don't forget those toes!

6. There is one more thing to consider and it's a biggy! In fact it's the one area we do consider ourselves to be experts in and that's the hairstyle you choose. 
 
Do you wear your hair up or down or half up? Do you go curly, straight or wavy? Do you wear hair accessories? Do you do it yourself or get it done by a hairdresser? Ah so many questions! SCREAM! 
 
 
 
Calm down, let's try and figure it out together! Depending upon the prom dress you have chosen what hairstyle you will want to go for. Try a few out with the dress to get a true picture of how you will look. Do your research on hairstyles. There are literally thousands out there for you to choose from. In fact you are spoilt for choice. Don't let the length of your hair affect your decision because you can always add Image Hair Extensions to short hair to create natural length and volume.  Check out our Prom Pinterest board for some stunning prom hairstyles we loved! If you are going to do your hair yourself practise, practise, practise! Also on the day allow yourself plenty if time to perfect the style. You don't want to be left sweaty, stressful and rushing to get it done on time. Check out our How To board on pinterest for ideas and tips on styling your own hair.
 
 
 
Prom is a fabulous event where all eyes are on you and it is your chance to be a celebrity for the night! Glam up and enjoy, after all you deserve it after all the months of planning that has gone into it!

Great Ideas for Wedding Guest Hair Styles from IMAGE!

It's that time of the year again and the wedding season has begun. Which can only mean three things...
 
1. Umpteen shopping trips to find that perfect outfit (that no one else will be wearing)
2. Internet browsing and obsessive shopping to find shoes, a bag and not to mention accessories!
3. Hours of endless research into different hairstyles that will compliment your chosen outfit!

Well we can't help you with the first 2 problems, but we can save you time, and energy, because we have done the research for you. We can provide you with many different hairstyles, for no doubt what the bride is calling 'the wedding of the year!' Check out our Pinterest page for styles we are sure you will just love, love, love! Before you rush off though there are a few things to consider.
 
 
The first big decision is obviously hair up or hair done. Hair down always looks gorgeous when styled just right. Those of you with shorter hair why not wow guests by adding some Image Hair Extensions to your locks for a natural, fuller, longer look. If you already are blessed with naturally long hair you can use our 100% natural human hair extensions to give volume and thickness. Our remy human hair extensions can be styled using heat, just like natural hair for any style your heart desires. Hair up is a carefree option and we like this. It means you won't be worrying about the weather affecting your style and causing frizzy, wild hair that you constantly have to keep fixing. There are so many different styles to choose from for hair up you will be spoilt for choice. If you have decided to wear a hat to the wedding (a look we adore) you need to think carefully about hat hair. This is definitely not a good look in photos. If you opt for hair down plus a hat, sprinkle some Osis hair dust (it's like magic) onto your roots to put the volume back in after you take your hat off. If you opt for hair up plus a hat, just make sure your hairstyle is not ruined by the hat. You need to try the style, with the hat, before the day of the wedding to avoid any disasters happening which could see you running late and arriving at the same time as the bride, eek! Perhaps a fascinator would be a good look for hair up as it can slot into your hair up style or clip into different parts of the style.
 
 
Weddings are long days so don't forget whatever style you choose for your hair has to last for a long time! It's always a good idea to take a small hairspray, comb and some pins with you in your bag just in case you need to do some remodelling during the day/evening! 

Another tip would be to try and find out what hairstyles the bride and bridesmaids will be wearing so that you don't choose the same one. Sometimes this is unavoidable and it's not the end of the world as the same hairstyles look different on different people!

Weddings are fabulous occasions where you want to look and feel your best! Remember to check out our Pinterest boards to choose your hairstyle for a day that will be remembered and talked about for years to come, not to mention photographs that will be shown for centuries!

Miley Cyrus is rocking the punk look!

Miley Cyrus is one strong lady who is looking completely fierce lately. She is absolutely rocking the punk look at a 'Punk' themed event she attended. She really owns the crazy punk look and achieves a  diverse image that many others her age would not be able to carry off. Miley has spiked her blonde hair using styling products, such as gel and hair spray. She has gone for a messy spiked look and it is quite attention grabbing. We look love her carefree attitude and the way she doesn't give two hoots about what others think or say. If Miley likes it, Miley does it!
 

 


Her red lipstick is vibrant, fun, young and playful. It catches your eye immediately and manages to draw your attention away from her freaky hairstyle. Miley chooses to keep her skin tone even and pure which also has the effect of making her lips pop and makes her look quite goth like. Miss Cyrus achieves an edgy look in her floor length shimmery dress. She manages to balance sexiness with class and elegance, well done clever girl! Chunky jewellery adds some detail to the otherwise plain dress and adds another dimension to her punky look.

Miley Cyrus seems to be able to do no wrong in our eyes at the moment. She is being true to herself and her confidence shines through! Nothing is more attractive than a woman who is confident.
