Should I Style My Hair Straight Or Curly For My Bismarck Senior Session?

Should I Style My Hair Straight or Curly For My Bismarck Senior Session?

One of the most common questions I get when seniors are prepping for their sessions is: Should I wear my hair straight or curly? It’s such a great question because your hairstyle can have a big impact on the overall look and feel of your photos. Don’t worry—if you’re feeling stuck, I’m here to help!

Let’s break it down so you can feel confident in your decision and absolutely love the way your hair looks in your senior pictures.

What’s Your Go-To Look?

When it comes to your hair, think about what feels most you. Your senior session is all about capturing your personality, so start by asking yourself these questions:

  • How do I typically style my hair?

  • Do I want my photos to feel more natural and true to everyday life?

  • Am I looking for a more polished or elevated version of my usual look?

If you normally wear your hair straight and sleek, that might be the way to go for at least part of your session. If you love a bouncy, curly style, that could be a fun choice too. And if you rock both looks regularly, why not do both?

The Case For Straight Hair

Straight hair can look timeless and chic in photos. It’s perfect if you’re going for a clean, polished vibe. Here are a few things to keep in mind if you’re leaning toward straight hair:

  • It’s sleek: Straight hair photographs beautifully, especially in studio shots or when you’re wearing more structured outfits.

  • Versatility: It can pair well with everything from casual to glam looks, giving your photos a modern edge.

  • Low maintenance: Once your hair is straightened, it’s usually easier to keep it looking neat throughout the session.

The Case for Curly Hair

Curly hair brings movement and personality to your senior pictures. If you love soft waves, big curls, or even your natural texture, here’s why curls might be the way to go:

  • It’s fun: Curls can add a playful, dynamic element to your photos. Think twirling in a flowy dress or laughing in a golden field.

  • It adds dimension: Curls create depth and texture, especially in outdoor settings with natural light.

  • It’s glamorous: Big, voluminous curls can give your photos a red-carpet-ready feel.

A Few Final Tips

No matter which style you choose, here are a few tips to make sure your hair looks its best on photo day:

  1. Stay true to you: Choose a style that feels natural and comfortable—you want to feel confident in front of the camera.

  2. Bring touch-up tools: Pack a brush, hair spray, and any styling tools you might need for quick fixes.

  3. Work with a pro: If you’re booking hair and makeup for your session (which I highly recommend!), my stylist can create a look that enhances your natural beauty and photographs perfectly.
