How to Prepare for JSB
by Brittany Kelly

JSB is the biggest dance throughout your high school years, and for seniors, a final event to remember your senior class. You want to be remembered at your best. Pictures capture the night forever, and you don’t want to regret anything about your hair or attire. Hopefully after reading this article you will learn to prepare yourself for an amazing night, and look your best!
Finding the perfect dress for JSB is not always an easy task, and many girls have probably already spent hours browsing magazines and local stores. For those of you who need tips on where to start, remember, big factors for this season are flowers and romantic light color, these formal dresses and ball gowns capture the essence of spring. Also winter black and white colors are still strong, particularly in strapless A-line formal gowns. It’s important to try on as many dresses as you can, in all different styles, colors, and cuts by different designers.
Getting your hair done for the dance can either be a blessing or a disaster. To avoid a disaster there are many hairstyles to avoid, and things you can even do to anticipate a beautiful hair-do. This year’s JSB look isn’t complete without some kind of hair bling, whether it’s a sparkly headband, dazzling jeweled pins, or a great feathered hairpiece.

1. Sit up straight. Don’t cross your legs when you sit in the stylist’s chair -- it skews your posture, so your cut could be uneven once you stand up. Instead, sit up in the chair, legs uncrossed.
2. Collect pictures. The biggest hair disasters arise when your stylist doesn’t understand what you want. Pictures will help convey your message.
3. But be realistic. You may love a cut on a magazine model, but if your hair is not the same texture or your face is not the same shape as hers, the cut won’t look the same on you. Ask your stylist for variations appropriate to you.
