Ask your mother for a second opinion. What looks good in a hair stylist's chair or your friend's bedroom might not be something you will be happy with in your spring formal pictures. A mother's perspective often can help you decide between a few hairstyle choices.

Shake your head after you get your hairdo. Your hair should be able to look good after a fast dance. Test your hair after you get it done and see if it can stand up to a little headbanging.

Tips & Warnings
Bring a small bottle of hairspray to the formal for last-minute touch ups. After boogieing down on the dance floor for an hour, chances are your hairdo will need a little refresher.
Select a hairstyle that will keep the hair off your face when you dance. If you use bobby pins, even a loose hairdo won't block your smile.
Don't select a hairstyle that makes your head hurt. Putting up very long hair for a long time can make your neck ache. Likewise, braiding cornrows or other tight braids on your head can ache enough to put you in a bad mood during the dance.
