The time to start thinking about how to style your hair will be once you have chosen that all-important dress! Only then can you really get an idea of the look you want for the night.

It’s a lovely occasion in which to have your hair specially styled and your usual hairdresser will be able to come up with some styles that will suit your face shape and dress style. Department stores will sometimes do free mini makeovers so that you can try out a new look or colour without having to invest unless you really love the look.

Don’t forget that a gown is a very big statement; try not to let your makeup compete with the dress so that you make an impressive entrance!
