You already have the dress, the accessories, the shoes - and a guy already asked you to be his date for the prom. What else is missing? Whether you would like to be the prom queen, the belle of the ball or if you just want to look like a princess in the eyes of your date, you do need to complete your look with the most suitable hairstyle.
Here, we will take a look at some hairstyle do's and don'ts for prom night, what you need to do to prepare your crowning glory prior to the big event, and how you can match your prom hairstyle with the rest of your look.
Hairstyle Do's & Don't for Prom Night
First, let us take a look at some of the hairstyle do's and don't that you need to keep in mind if you would like to keep your hair in tiptop shape for prom night.
Do's:
- Do opt for fabulous accessories for your hair.
Although you shouldn't overdo it, you can turn your crowning glory into the highlight of your look by choosing oh-so-fab hair accessories like stick-on-jewels, fancy combs, fresh flowers or even chopsticks if you want to go Oriental!
- Do match your hairstyle with your prom dress and the rest of your look.
If you're wearing a strapless evening gown, for example, you might want to wear your hair in a sexy updo. If you're going for a romantic look, a classic French braid or a loose chignon might do the trick.
- Do make a few hairstyling trials prior to your prom night.
You shouldn't put off deciding what your prom hairstyle would be for the last minute - make sure to have a trial hairstyling session - whether it's with the help of a stylist, a friend or you can even practice doing it yourself!
Don'ts:
- Don't still be washing or styling your hair when your date is about to arrive!
- Don't do some drastic changes with your hair about a week or two before your prom night, like cutting or coloring it differently.
A Wide Array of Prom Hairstyles to Match the Rest of Your Look
So what types of prom hairstyles can you consider wearing for your prom night? Here are a few classic and modern prom hairstyle ideas:
1. Braided Hairstyles
There is a wide array of braided hairstyles that you can choose from, including French braid, micro braids, coiled braids, braided updos and thick braids. Choose one that will perfectly frame the shape of your face and give you that romantic princess look.
2. Long Hairstyles
You can wear your long hair sleek straight, super curly or in a slightly wavy fashion.
3. Sedu Hairstyles
Sedu hairstyles are actually suitable for those with natural African-American hair. What the Sedu hairstyling equipment will do is give your hair a smooth, straight and naturally sleek look without having to spend hours in the salon. This is also perfect for women who have naturally curly or wavy hair.
4. Short Hairstyles
You probably cannot get away with attending a prom wearing Kate Gosselin's version of the mullet if you have short hair - but there are plenty of other hairstyles which are prom-worthy. The short bob, short micro-braids if you have natural hair, the layered short cut - you can even go for a spiky short hair style if you think that you can get away with it!
5. Updo Prom Hairstyles
Finally, you can opt to wear updos for your prom night. As mentioned earlier, this is a great hairstyle to wear if you're donning an off-shoulder or a tube-styled gown.
Take your pick from any of these prom night hairstyles and look the best that you've ever looked during one of the most important nights in your life!
