Prom Hair 2013 by shereentravels featuring prom hair accessories

Short hair: Bobs and asymmetrical cuts are in right now, so make some curls and then run your fingers through them for some texture for that beachy look that says "I woke up this way." In a good way, though. If that's your normal way of doing your hair, set some structured curls and add a fun headband or sparkly hair accessory. Both are on-trend and will have everyone complimenting you all evening on your stylish locks.

Medium hair: If you have enough hair for a bun, then you can turn heads in your direction with a low, side bun. They are all the rage and super easy to create on your own or have your stylist jazz up at the salon. Another look that is always a classic and is great when you want to show off your beautiful jewels on your ears and neck is a slick-backed ponytail. Wrap hair around the band and pin it in place for a perfect finish.

Long hair: Now's your chance to do something really creative with your tresses. Incorporate a fancy braid into your hairstyle and not only will it keep your hair out of your face when you're dancing up a storm, but you'll be the talk of the prom with your trendsetting look. Of course, even a simple side braid paired with a bit of a bouffant can take your look from wow to WOW!

If you aren't going to prom, it's also wedding season and any of the above looks will work fabulously for the wedding party or fashionable guests. Which of this season's hair trends are you most excited to rock?

Say Cheese With Your New Pearly Whites

Have you been thinking your teeth don't seem quite as white as they used to be? You aren't the only one. A brighter smile can make you feel awesome about yourself and complete your fantastic look. Whether it's from coffee, smoking or just a natural dulling progression, you can do something about it besides endure the dreaded dentist pick and guilt trip about not flossing enough - or ever. Make an appointment to come in for a quick DaVinci Teeth Whitening sesh. You can do fit it in over your lunch hour and still have time to get back to work and grab a snack. 

What makes the DaVinci system so good? One treatment can get you up to 8 shades whiter, plus it's an easy, natural system that can be used on sensitive teeth, composites, veneers and caps. So, if you want to feel better about yourself, a whiter smile can really help you achieve that. Reserve a space today and then you can feel like our lovely client Megan who says after her treatment she "literally, cannot stop smiling." That's what we like to hear!

Have you tried the DaVinci teeth whitening yet?

Old Hollywood Glam is Back!

In case you haven't noticed, it appears old-school Hollywood glam is back. Yep, we're talking red lips, pin curls, milky white skin. The whole nine yards. Your favorite leading ladies are showing up on the red carpet looking like women from the Golden Age of Hollywood. If you are loving this look as much as we are, you can incorporate it into your everyday routine with soft curls, subtle cat eye and a bold red lip.

Jean Harlow was one of the most beautiful ladies of the silver screen, with glowing skin. Obviously, she is a big influence for some of today's trends. Take a look at Jessica Chastain with her sparkling gown, light eye makeup and red pout. With such natural beauty, jewelry would only compete, so necklaces seem to be absent from a lot of ensembles.
