Finding the right hairstyle for prom can be a difficult task, but you can find a prom hairstyle that doesn’t suck. Let’s look at a few ways you can choose the right style for you that you’ll be happy with remembering for the rest of your life.
Themed prom hairstyles
Sometimes a themed prom can help you with your prom hairstyle. If your prom theme is after a movie, rent the movie and check out the hair styles of the characters in the film. If your theme is period/era related (such as the 50s), you can easily choose a beautiful hairstyle that matches the theme by searching the internet for era hairstyles. While a beehive may not be your top choice, there are some elegant chignons that will suit any era or occasion well.
Braid it or twist it
Braids and twists are a hot ticket for prom, especially with young celebrities sporting the same looks on the red carpet. You don’t have to go for a boring old French braid – check out a few websites for braiding tips and ideas and don’t forget to check out entertainment websites and magazines to see what the hip, young celebrities are wearing too.
Get edgy
Edgier looks (think Fergie and Gwen Stefani) are going to be really hot through the next few seasons. Tease your hair high or choose a sleek bun that it’s off center. Have a few pin curls or curly q’s put in to accent your neat style. An edgier hairstyle goes great with a different, bright and colorful dress.
Stay with the traditional
Depending on your dress and personal style, if you’re more of a traditional girl, stay with the classic do’s. Curls, buns, finger waves and up-do’s never lose their popularity or elegance. These more classic hairstyles allow your own beauty to shine through and emulate the styles of Jennifer Garner and Katherine Heigl, who are known for their sleek, elegant hair.
Short doesn’t mean boring
Just because your hair is short doesn’t mean you can’t do anything with it for prom. Try pin curls, finger waves, some added accessories, glitter spray or soft spikes to achieve a whole new look.
Talk to your hairdresser
If you just aren’t sure what hairstyle to choose for prom, talk to your hair dresser. You should go in a month before your prom to get an idea of what your hair should look like and to play around with ideas. Your hair dresser may have some really great ideas for your hair – you can even take in your dress and show your hairstylist what you’ll be wearing so they can take some ideas from it too.
Don’t be afraid to say no
No matter how much time your mom or hairstylist puts into your hair trials, don’t be afraid to say no to a hairstyle if you don’t like it. Remember, prom is one of the few days in your life that you will remember forever – you deserve to look your very best and have the hair style that you love.
