Matric dance hairstyles are one of the things South African school girls find themselves thinking about more and more once they reach matric.
The prom night, or matric dance, as it is known in South Africa, is one of many milestones in a girl’s life. Attending your own Matric dance is a key part of the full high school experience, so make it count.
This night is a full social affair, that many teens even have a couple’s photoshoot just before the dance begins, and some hire a limo to take them to their venue.
And of course, it doesn’t take long for the dance to be splashed across social media and become the highlight of Instagram stories.
