i really need help figuring out a hairstyle that will go nice with this dress. i'm a 4a natural with 6-7inches of hair. please help a sista out! i'm wearing this dress Saturday, but i need to have my hair done/completed either thursday or friday night, since i have a makeup gig in the morning.

i've considered straightening it, but i know it won't last. i will be dancing the night away!

since the dress is frilly, I say where your hair out straight and sleek. Have you tried Sabino? I was pleasantly surprised how straight it kept my hair during a couple rainy days.
 
I know you can order it online, since your function is Saturday you probably should call the vendor directly to see if they sell it in stores. toll-free: 888.305.HAIR

Or you can do a search for anti frizz to see what others are using to fight moisture in the air.
 
When I wear something that shows my shoulders and collar bones I tend to wear up-do's to show them off. Like a high big full bun or like a side big bun. I say big because big buns still show you have a lot of hair lol. And I would wear nice-sized drooping earrings.

You could wear it down also but it would have to be very sleek. My hair doesn't act very sleek during the hotter months though. But if you can do some sleek loose curls it would look good too.
 
thanks ladies! i was thinking about wearing a twistout with a flower, or a braided updo with a flower. yes, i like flowers in my hair. :lachen: i wear them daily!

When I saw the dress that was the first hairstyle I thought of. I think the dress would go well with a twistout or braidout on blowdried hair with the side pinned up and a flower to cover the pin.

kinda like these styles

I love flowers in my hair too, I wear faux orchids almost daily. Try looking for a piece of jewelry like a choker or short necklace to use like a headband. I've been doing that for my nights out and it looks really elegant. If the choker (or even bracelet) is too short to make it around the circumference of your puff, just use bobby pins. I have a $12 shell 3 strand necklace I use as a headband and it looks like I'm wearing a tiara.

Wear it with a braid and curl or twist and curl puff. Hmm, think I'll do that tonight, I got a date :lick:
 
That was the same thing I thought of! Something to the side. You could even add in flat twists or a few cornrows making it go to the side and a flower. That would be super cute. I don't recommend going sleek or str8. If you are going to dancing the str8 hair won't last. It it poof and if u sweat a little bit, it'll be over. But a twistout/braidout should definately hold up and having it to the side adds some sass and it goes with the look of the dress. Have fun! :-)

Yup! I would do mini twists into an updo with curls cascading down! That way the dress is the star and you hair is the accessory! Let us know what you decide to do! :yep:
 
ok ladies, i'm going to take pics Saturday so you can see what i've decided. everyone gave really good suggestions. i thought i was going to SOL! thank you for all of your help!
 
My vote is for the big bun like mariposa suggested.
I opt for buns mostly when i go out-that way i can dance all i want, and my hair will stay the same.
i'd blowout my hair first for maximum length.
 
I was checking out the "everyday hair" thread and saw a pic of you in a cute dress with a chunky fro and flower. Was that the dress and the hair? If so, great choice, you look cute!
