Pageant Tip: When you plan your stage competition hair style - choose a style that matches your evening gown. Often times people look at the previous winners hair and mimic their style. That is not always the best idea - finding a style that makes you feel beautiful, matches your evening gown and looks good on stage with stage lights is important. You do not want a hairstyle that looks too casual for the gown. So once your gown, play dress up. Put on a full face of make up and try different styles and take a picture of each style. Then print them. Hang them on your wall. Look at them and determine what each look conveys - using adjectives only. So does it look elegant? Casual? Sophisticated? Messy? Then determine what look you are going for. This is why pageantry is so subjective as the adjective used to describe the look varies. Find and own your look.
