Teen has homecoming dance this Saturday, need hair advice.

My daughter has short to medium length. Let's say if I do a pony tail, she has a short tail. She wants me to do her hair but have no clue what to do. She does want those long type curls that come down and I bought the rods for it. I also bought her rhinestone pins to dress it up. I'd like to pull the hair around her face back, since she doesn't want to pull it up. But I need suggestions and how to create such a look. I hope someone here can help offer me some advice.

Put it in a ponytail and tie the ponytail with a long, colorful silk or chiffon scarf. Or you could do what Jasmine suggested to a girl on another board, tie a scarf around her head like a headband and have the scarf dangle to one side, like you see some fashion models wear scarfs.

Try something different like that. And have the scarf match her dress of course.

I find clamps easiest of all accessories to work with for formal hair do's. My hair is longer than your daughters, but perhaps you can find clamps useful, especially if you want to pull the hair back from the face. Perhaps try pulling the hair back with a clamp and doing the back in the long curls with the rod.

I hope this didn't find you too late. Please let us know how it went.
