Prom’s a huge night in your life, so you want to feel and look your best for all those photos. You’ve chosen the dress, you’ve decided on your makeup look, and you’ve got your accessories. Pull the look together with the right hair and your outfit will look amazing. So what sorts of styles work well for prom? Let’s take a closer look:
Classic Dos
Classic updos are the main choice for prom goers because the style is timeless, elegant and always flattering. It keeps your hair away from your face so that your eyes and makeup take centre stage. There are so many styles to choose from too, including low buns, French twists or chic chignons, all of which can be further finished with sparkling accessories to really elevate your look. This is great if you want to look sophisticated and not worry about brushing your hair from your face all night.
Hollywood Waves
Prom dresses from https://www.ohelloclothing.com/collections/debs-prom-dresses look fabulous with Hollywood waves. These styles are great if you have longer hair and you can simply use a curling iron to achieve your soft curls and then brush them out for volume. Add a little serum for shine.
Half Up, Half Down
This is a great ‘best of both worlds’ hairdo that lets you show off your hair whilst keeping it off your face. It’s also great if you’re wearing fancy earrings that you want to show off. Keep it sleek and simple or accessorise it for added glamour.
Braids
Braids are so popular, and these intricate styles look fabulous with a prom dress. Get your hairdresser to create braids that will match your look, and add plenty of hairspray to keep them in. The great thing about braids is that they hold well, so you can have your hair done slightly in advance of prom itself and avoid a last-minute rush.
Remember to accessorise, add some finishing products and then show off your fabulous hairdo for prom. Which style will you choose for your special event?
