Prom is a timeless come-of-age event that provides the perfect opportunity to showcase your individual style and beauty. There’s the gown selection, makeup, and perhaps the trickiest part of all — the hairstyle. We have rounded up the most popular hairstyles to complete your prom outfit that might help shortlist you for the best-dressed award.
Big Voluminous Curls
Voluminous curls are timeless representations of healthy hair with great definition. The glamorous look is one associated with many stars of the Golden Hollywood Age, which has seen a revival in modern stars like Blake Lively and Emma Stone.
You can contact a professional hairdresser to acquire the look or try the DIY pin curl method. For the latter, you’ll need to wet your hair, part it to one side, hold the tresses in place with pin curls and keep it in position with hair spray. You’ll also need a hair serum to smoothen the look for a refined appearance making you the event’s highlight.
French Twist
The French Twist hairstyle is a more versatile version of the classic chignon, often reserved for weddings and overly formal dinners.
Consider going with the French Twist instead of the chignon since there will be much mingling and dancing at the prom, and you can conveniently style the twist for maximum comfort. You can quickly and easily set up the look to achieve a glamorous updo.
There are many ways to prepare the French twist, with the easiest method involving carefully inserted bobby pins. Simply bunch your hair up with one hand, insert bobby pins into the base of the twist, and insert pins in the opposite direction to hold the updo in place. Use a reliable hairspray on the hairstyle for added holding strength.
Fun fact: The French twist is a type of protective hairstyle that tucks away and safeguards the ends of your tresses, which are the most brittle parts of your hair.
Half-Up, Half-Down Look
The half-up half-down look is a picture-perfect combo of the casual comfort of wearing your hair loose and the formal sophistication of an updo. Carefully positioned clip-in hair extensions can help you add volume and flair to the look for a more attention-grabbing display. A half-up half-down style makes you effortlessly create the illusion of thicker and healthy-looking hair, even with fine strands.
Braided Ponytail
A braided ponytail is ideal for prom queens who wish to make a fashion statement. These protective hairstyles can last for weeks with proper care. Also, the hairdo is another impressive look that you can rock with hair extensions for greater volume and styling options. A trusted hair specialist can shape a braided ponytail style with the right extensions to achieve the right texture, length, and finish to reflect your unique personality.
