Formal/Prom season is almost here!!

So much to do and such little time!

First you need to decide what dress you want – short, long, the colour, skin-tight or ball gown, straps or strapless?

Secondly your hair – which depends on the dress – if you have straps go for an up-do and if your dress is strapless then let your hair down!

Thirdly, your make-up, shoes and accessories!

We have an elegant up-do which is perfect for formals/proms, let’s see the celebs that have worn this hairstyle.

 Eva Longoria, Emma Stone and Rachel Evan Wood are all fans of this elegant up-do!

To create the celebrity up-do, just follow these very easy steps.

1. Wash and dry your hair completely and then spray your hair with a heat protector. Straighten all of your hair so it is poker straight.

2. Starting just behind your fringe at the top of your head, spray the top sections of hair with hairspray. Take your D91 Dressing Out Brush and begin to backcomb each section. By backcombing the top of your head you will be creating the height and volume in the hair.

3. Once all of the sections at the top of your head have been backcombed take the D82M Boar Bristle Brush and brush the backcombed hair back. This will smooth all of the bumps out from the backcombing and will add gloss and shine to the hair. Gather the hair at the back of your head and twist into a bouffant and pin in place.

4. You now want to gather the rest of your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck and begin to twist it. Push the twist up and starting pinning the twist to your head with bobby pins. Fold the top of the twist under so you don’t have hair sticking out at the top. Make sure that you tuck away any other bits of hair.

5. Finish with hairspray for a longer hold.

It’s quite easy once you’ve had a few practice goes! Why not try it out!?
