How To Do Your Hair For Homecoming

Finding a homecoming dress that you feel fabulous and flawless in is only half the battle. From there, you have to complete your look with the right hairstyle. Every beauty maven knows that certain hairstyles just work with certain looks. Put a style together that your classmates will want to emulate from head to toe with these dress and hair-do pairings.

Strapless Gowns. Exposed shoulders tend to be the center of attention when you pair them with a tight up-do. To create a balanced look, pair a strapless dress with a half-up, half-down hairstyle. In addition to looking amazing, half of your hair will be away from your body, keeping you cooler throughout homecoming events, especially with how unpredictable the weathers been lately. Similarly, if your dress features very little in the way of beading and detail, a half-up, half-down hairdo can serve as your vehicle for added glitz and glam. Use a decorative headpiece to amplify the look.

Plunging Necklines. Dresses with V-necks or plunging necklines pair well with bouncy, cascading curls. This hairstyle gives balance to your look while amplifying your elegance factor. Depending on the type of hair you have and it's length, you can create loose waves that fall gracefully over your shoulders. To frame your face for photos, pin curls back behind your ears to prevent them from falling.

Over-the-Top Necklines. Ponytails look stunning with dresses that feature a high or halter neckline. These dresses already feature neck detail, so the sleekness of the ponytail accentuates the elegance of your look without taking away from the dress. Think about the high pony Beyonce slayed at the 2015 Met Gala. However, if you opt for the bun look,  it's best paired with a gown that has a lot of beading or dresses that feature a loud print.

Off-The-Shoulder Dresses. If you're wearing an off-the-shoulder gown, sweep your hair to one side of your body for a look that's straight off of the red carpet. Off-the-Shoulder dresses are going to be trendy for seasons to come, so look at it as an investment piece for a future event. Style with wavy curls to create volume or a low bun or braid to keep your hair from frizzing throughout the evening.

Skinny Straps. Sleek, thin straps have made their way back into the world of fashion. A recycled look from the early 2000's, this delicate, girly look pairs well with a loose bun or chignon to evoke a look of femininity and romance.

Putting together the perfect look for homecoming doesn't have to be difficult! Homecoming is all about setting the trend for the upcoming school year. Your guaranteed to turn some heads with these homecoming dresses and the perfect hair style.
