We take into account individual traits
It is very important to take into account all the individual features of the appearance and choose in advance the outfit for which the styling will be performed.
Face shape. The job of a professional stylist is to visually bring the shape of the face closer to the ideal oval with the help of styling.
Elongated and oblong will help correct slightly darkened roots and lightened tips. A pointed chin will balance out the lighter ends.
A sleek, slicked back hairstyle will advantageously narrow a face that is too round. Narrow features require softer, more graduated lines.
High styling is the best fit for chubby people: they transfer the main body to the crown zone and visually change the proportions. Not suitable: straight and thick bangs.
An elongated oval does not like too straight lines, smooth textures. Smooth waves and graceful weaves are your ideal option.
Square cheekbones and a high forehead also require soft lines and elegant weaves.
Triangular chin. A small face resembling a triangle is in harmony with high buns and tails.
Height and figure. Be sure to take into account the general proportions: on a too tall and thin girl with a mild chest, Babette will look very strange - the hairstyle of the heroine Brigitte Bordeaux or the invariable shaggy wig of Alla Pugacheva.
The volume of the head should ideally correspond to the physique: for example, a "bun" or a thin tail, sticking out alone on the top of the head, will not suit a girl with curvaceous forms.
High types of hairstyles are not the best choice for thin, tall girls, in the prom look of which stiletto heels will be present.
Structure. To create the desired shape, thick and thick strands require long and careful thinning, while thin hair, on the contrary, does not need oblique cuts to obtain additional volume.
Selection of styling and makeup for the style of the dress
We do not set ourselves the task of covering all possible options, but some important rules of "smart etiquette" have come down to us, time-tested: they deserve the attention of modern ladies.
Dress to the floor. The most basic rule of a long evening dress to the floor: high, laconic styling. At the beginning of the last century, a long dress and loose hair were considered a sign of low birth and blatant indecency.
Bare shoulders, straight neckline are not in harmony with smooth wavy hair: they must be picked up to show the curve of the neck, collarbone and shoulders. Let graceful earrings hang over bare shoulders, not varnished curls.
A dress with a straight or rounded neckline and bare shoulders is impressed by a very smooth hairstyle.
Bright lips. Long, high bangs curled to one side should be balanced with accent lipstick. If the focus is shifted to the eyes, the lower part of the face may merge with the neck and deep décolleté.
Voluminous hairs that fall over the neck or one shoulder require vibrant, rich lips. Even expressive earrings will not save the situation.
Oblique bangs. Tailored back of the head and oblique bangs: elegant girls know the secret of the perfect style of an evening dress - it lies in the asymmetrical neckline.
If the asymmetrical bangs are slanted to the right, choose the neckline line directed in the opposite direction.The image will be complemented by a straight cut of the dress, the absence of unnecessary draperies and candelabra earrings.
Following the above principle, it is easy to create an image with a high tail that falls over the closed shoulder.
American armhole. Most fans of dance and sports women's competitions find the combination of a high neckline, open shoulders and a high tight knot as ideal.
Firstly, this combination is very hackneyed, and secondly, girls do not always place the right accents in this image. If the dress is bright, the main visual accent should be moderate lips and large earrings, but not the eyes.
The best option for the American armhole: a raised nape, oblique airy bangs and a lipstick in a rich shade.
Runway Hairstyle Trends 2021
Let's talk about the ideas of the stylists that they implemented at the fashion shows of the spring-summer 2021 season.
Volumetric. The volume taken back, an open forehead and flowing waves or, on the contrary, curly curls-bouclie. The short, curled bangs in the Audrey Hepburn style are presented in an interesting and playful way.
If the proportions of the model's head allow, stylists prefer to comb from the roots and style the hair in retro rollers at the crown.
We do not recommend it. This option is not suitable for girls with a high forehead.
Complex tall structures. At the Gucci show, the Empire style was traced in complex elongated shapes and soft weaves. Wavy curls accompany such hairstyles, curling along one side of the head or behind the back of the head.
We do not recommend it. A complex structure is an impractical decorative element, quite suitable for a podium or a photo shoot, but not for an active long-term event. The shape of a complex hairstyle is selected depending on the proportions of the head and facial features.
Weaving. Nobody canceled the classics, and two wide French braids remain in demand on the catwalks and weekend events.
We do not recommend it. Thin braids woven at the back of the head with a stubby ponytail sticking out at the top of the head will remain at the Christian Dior show, as well as a mohawk with a double row of side braids from Andrew Gn.
Vanguard and Afrodreds. The idea of offering urban dwellers aphrodreda as an addition to the casual style has completely failed in the wake of the trend towards naturalness and naturalism.
We do not recommend it. Colored afrodreads wouldn't be appropriate for prom if you're not Lana Wachowski. Avant-garde sophistication in the form of flattened and varnished layers, reminiscent of scraps of boards with decor made of white paper, will be left to Haider Ackermann.
Harnesses. At the Maison Margiela show, we saw something more like a huge crimson rope than a tourniquet, and Zang Toi presented delicate and feminine tourniquets gathered in a floral arrangement.
We do not recommend it. Too mundane and nondescript a tourniquet on the back of the head from Jil Sander is appropriate only for going to the shower.

Long hair
High beam. Babette will suit girls with a long neck, rounded features, pronounced cheekbones. Does not harmonize with fine features, narrow cheekbones and high forehead. Looks great in combination with a V-neckline and a rich color of the dress.
Depending on the structure of your hair, you can brush it smoothly, leave a loose strand or add extra volume with a fleece.

Average length
Laconic shell on the back of the head, decorated with an unusual diadem. A dense dense array is collected at the back of the head in a laconic shell with a minimum of accompanying elements and decorated with a diadem of fresh flowers to match the main outfit.
The tiara can be replaced by a satin headband decorated with a brooch or a hoop in the Dolce & Gabbana style.
Short haircuts
Greek style. Shoulder-length wavy hair can be easily styled into a graceful shape, giving it a head start on lush mountains of curls and braids.
A small ball of mousse, distributed over the entire surface, will allow styling to maintain volume and not crumble.
We carry out the parting and tighten the tight tail at the back of the head, fix it with an elastic band of a suitable shade. We twist the resulting tail inward and secure it with invisible pins and hairpins.
High shell. If your haircut is characterized by long frontal strands and short occipital strands, you can try to implement the proposed idea:
- split the entire array into three parts;
- on the occipital third, draw a straight parting and twist the creeping harnesses;
- fix the ends of the harnesses with invisible ones;
- cover the tails with the middle part of the array;
- comb the hair remaining on the crown lightly at the roots and style beautifully over the lower tiers.
How to decorate
Bundles and neat shells are decorated with 1-2 decorative hairpins of very high quality: they can be placed parallel or at an angle to each other, but not crosswise.
Do not line fences and geometric shapes from invisibility on top of smoothly combed strands. Sequined or rhinestone partings are more suitable for Latin American dance competitions or the traditional Brazilian carnival.
Pearl strands woven into flowing soft braids can look elegant and very feminine when paired with a classic Empire style dress.
DIY options
High tail. For owners of straight, healthy hair without bangs, we suggest making a laconic and elegant ponytail.
If you do not intend to have a smooth parting, do a small fleece and secure the tail tightly in the desired area with an elastic band. Use mousse and varnish very carefully and carefully so that they are almost invisible.
Separate a small section and twist it at the base of the ponytail to cover the elastic. Secure the ends with a hairpin.

We do not recommend: common mistakes when choosing a hairstyle for prom
Going to extremes. Hot pink, shaved whiskey, or gray hair tied up in a “Halabuda” on top in Billie Eilish style will not help you stand out or show your individuality. There is nothing wrong with considering a man somewhat eccentric, but an eccentric woman will never cause respect or serious attitude towards herself.
A cute or wild mess on the head in the middle of a prom is only indicative of an equally messy haircut.
At the other extreme is the other extreme: the most complex, impossibly pretentious and brightly decorated hairstyle in the style of Marie Antoinette.
As a rule, the same infinity can be traced in a lush outfit with a complex color and draperies. The expensively rich hairstyle of the Rococo era expresses the girl's desire to stand out so that it does not become, as is the case with shaved temples.
Radical changes
Have you decided to change your life for the better and start right from the prom?
We offer another option: to enhance the everyday look. If you are tired of your typical light brown color, you should not change it to platinum, it is enough to increase the contrast, lighten or make ombre transitions.
Slightly frizzy hair can be straightened out before styling, and natural curls can be enhanced for a 2021 fashion statement.
An abundance of varnish and complex shapes.
From time immemorial, varnished bouffants and no less varnished curls have survived to this day. The hairstyle seems overloaded, the hair is messy, and the image is spoiled.
Do not join the ranks of girls with a "grandmother's chignon" on their heads: create simple shapes, emphasize naturalness and save nail polish!
Having compared the features of your appearance, the chosen outfit, as well as the global trends of hairdressing, presented on the catwalks this year, leave the last word for individuality and natural beauty.
Highlight your merits with a festive hairstyle, but in no case reshape your appearance for the sake of generally obligatory trends.
