Hairstyles That Are Perfect For Prom

Prom night is second only a girl’s wedding night. With that in mind, it is easy to understand just how important it is to look your best.

Everyone is aware of how much thought is put into picking out the perfect dress in the perfect colour, but what they might not realize is just how important the perfect hairstyle is. Whether you are looking for waves, twists, or an up-do, a clip in ponytail from Hershesons will allow you to create a truly unforgettable look.

Braided Hairstyles

Two of the best things about braided hairstyles is how many things you can do, and also how easy they can be to create. When people think about braids they often think about glamorous French braids or your simple, yet effective three strand braid.

However, these are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to braided hairstyles. Rather than using a three-strand braid try going with a four strand braid. Braids also allow you to create some amazing looks. For example, with a three-strand braid you can take hold of one strand and then push the other two back towards your scalp. This look is similar to a flower at the end of the braid.

Half-Up Styles

Half-up hairstyles are always a popular choice for a formal event because of how elegant they look. The hardest part about these amazing styles is how hard they can be to pull off in your home. If you are going after a half-up style and don’t want to spend hours at the salon getting that polished look there are a few things that you can do at home to add those finishing touches.

One thing that you will want to do is create a lift on the crown of the head, which is simple enough to do, all you have to do is tease the hair at the crown. With half-up styles you can do a side part, centre part, or even create a bump. But no matter what you do you need to create something that contains the look, such as taking two strands of hair, one from each side and wrapping them around your head and braiding them together or tying them into a knot.

Wearing Hair Down

This is best on people with long, thick hair, but by adding hair extensions women with thinner hair can easily create the same looks. Curls or waves can help complete the look, if they are done right.

A centre part is probably the best option when wearing the hair down, as it is easier to maintain through the night. Side parts look great the first few hours, but lose their style as you are dancing the night away. When adding curls always let the curls cool before you do anything else, as that allows them to set perfectly!
