Formalizing short hair
by: Michelle

Hi Aubrey,

Short hair can be dressed up easily with the right accessories (although less is more). A simple satin hairband, or something with a few feathers, which are very hot right now.

Also, try creating some glamorous swoops and swirls by setting your hair in fat rollers and then combing it out, defining the waves.

More on setting hair.

This of course depends upon whether your hair is long enough to get around a roller at least once. If not, then at least give it some bend using a small barreled round brush.

Make sure there's plenty of shine in your hair too! Shiny hair instantly looks more "finished." And give yourself plenty of time for styling so you're not in a rush to get the look right.

Have a great time at your dance!

All the best,
Michelle
