The dress has been purchased, the shoes have been selected and the corsage is ready to be
worn! Now all that remains is picking out the perfect hair style to compliment your prom look.
Leave it to the experts at blow, the new york blow dry bar, to provide easy-to-follow tips to
achieve a variety of hair styles that will leave your friends – and your date – convinced you just
stepped out of a salon!


Loose Waves - A simple yet on-trend look!
1. On dry hair, use a flexible hold hairspray like blowPro Serious Non Stick Hairspray
and generously spritz throughout the hair.
2. Take 1 inch sections of your hair and use a 1 1/4 inch size curling iron (or an 1 inch
iron for tighter waves) and wrap the hair around the barrel, alternately curling sections
clockwise and counter-clockwise.
3. Once your locks are curled completely, spray hair with more hairspray and run your
fingers through your hair to loosen up the waves.
4. **If you want to incorporate the waves into a loose, pulled-back look, simply take a piece
of hair on each side of your part and secure the two pieces together at the back of the
head at the crown with a small hair clip. And remember, for this look, keeping hair a little
messy is key!

Ballerina Bun - Give this classic look a modern spin!
1. Add texture to your hair before putting it up, which will make hair look fuller. Curl hair
with a medium barrel curling iron and spray it with blowPro Beach Blow.
2. Brush hair into a high ponytail and secure with a bungee band. Next, twist remaining
hair into a bun, securing with a small bobby pin.
3. Smooth a serum onto the sides of your hair for added shine - the extra sheen will make
hair glimmer in your pictures!



Faux Bob - Change your look completely without any commitment!
1. Curl your entire head using a medium sized barrel curling iron, spraying each section
before curling with blowPro Serious Non Stick Hairspray to keep the curls locked in
place.
2. Tease the hair at the nape of your neck, as you will use this as a base to pin hair onto.
3. Grab back and side sections of hair and tuck under the back, loosely pinning hair to
create a bob shape.
4. Leave a few locks of hair loose in the front and on top of your head for a more natural
looking bob.
5. **For a more retro spin, place a glamorous rhinestone hairclip on the side of your bob!
