The Perfect Way To Get Perfect Pageant Hair

Author: Terry Parker

Regardless of the type of pageant that you will be competing in, one thing is always consistent in any contest where beauty is involved and that is well kept, healthy hair.

Few people know this, but your hair is actually part of your skin, and so a healthy lifestyle and plenty of water are as essential for your hair as they are for the rest of your body. Pageant judges know this, which is why they pay close attention to hair styles and appearances, and it is important to choose the style that is right for you. The good news is that salon style hair products, with their superior, salon quality hold, fresh fragrances, natural extracts, and amazing texture formulas, can help you achieve, and keep, a style that will not melt under those hot stage lights.

A sophisticated updo is ideal as many pageant hair styles can be adapted for prom, and vice-versa. A sophisticated full updo is centered on a small, tasteful clip or accessory, and hair can be wrapped tightly a chignon or more loosely. When wrapping, it is important to blow dry individual sections and use product to add texture and definition to each section. You can either gather the hair in the back upwards and wrap hair around from the side, or, for a unique updo take, try wrapping a section of your under hair across your forehead and securing on the side with bobby pins. Most importantly, be sure to use a firming gel for extra hold that lasts all day from your first stage walk to your tearful acceptance speech.

A Down Do with a braid is ideal if you have straight or wavy shoulder length hair. Why not showcase it in all of its healthy, shiny glory? Instead of an updo, try braiding a small section of hair at the top of the head, just where your part is, and securing it in the back with a little pearl clip. A unique, fun hair style like this one is sure to stand out to the judges, and make your competition green with envy. If this type of hairdo sounds too complicated do not worry it really is not. With a little practice in front of a mirror, anyone can create this style. If you are unsure about how to start, why not make an appointment with your stylist, who can show you the style, as well as recommend the products that are right for you.

The pretty pony tail, despite the fact it may sound basic, can dress it up easily by securing it at the middle with an accessory, and adding wispy, softly curled tendrils to the sides of your face. Be sure to use your favorite holding spray to keep your style in place.
