Prom Hairstyles
Almost every high school girl can’t wait for her prom. There’s the fun of picking out the perfect dress, shoes, accessories, and of course, the date. With all the thought that goes into the planning, you need a great hairstyle for your special night.
As prom is a very formal event, most girls choose an equally formal hairstyle, usually a professional updo of some kind. Depending on your preference, you can sweep up your hair into an elaborate and intricate updo or keep it simple with a chic low-swept chignon. Adding accessories that match your dress will help accentuate your outfit as well as your facial features. It’s not necessary to go too fancy for a formal, sometimes just styling your hair in a funky way will work just as well as a salon updo, but will be unique to you.
If you prefer wearing your hair down, you might want to try something new on prom night without necessarily putting your hair up. Curling your straight hair into romantic curls or straightening your waves into a sleek style can give you a nice change without the cost or time needed to get an updo at a salon. If you prefer to wear your hair down, you can easily “dress up” your hairstyle with a barrette or headband that matches your dress.
Whether your hair is short or long, you can find the perfect prom hairdo for you. The easiest way to glam up shorter haircuts for prom is to add two things: shine and volume. Using a blowdryer and a round brush to add lift to the roots and a light touch of shine pomade wax will give you a cute, dressy look. Although you won’t have as many options as mid-length or long-haired girls, there are plenty of choices and you can see some of them just by looking on Hollywood’s red carpet.
With medium length and long hair, there is always the question of “up or down?” The best thing to remember about prom night when picking out your style is to feel comfortable…so pick what you love.
