Hairstyles For Prom For Black Women

An updo is an elegant prom hairstyle for black women.


Getting ready for the prom is a time that girls and women love. The focus is often on the dress, hair and makeup for the evening. Black women have different hair concerns in terms of styling than do other women because black hair tends to be more curly and coarse than the hair of other races. Of course, many black women choose to use a relaxer to straighten their hair or a flat iron for more versatility.


Bob


A sleek bob, adorned with a colorful accessory, is a lovely look for prom for black women. The bob should be fairly short, around chin length, with soft layers and side-swept bangs. Even if the hair is fairly straight and relaxed, you will want to run a flat-iron over it to make it pin-straight and smooth. Use a styling cream to put the bangs in place. Add a clip with a flower or rhinestones on it and pin up one side of the hair.


Low Bun


For black women with longer hair, an elegant, low bun is an option for the prom. It's an option for curly or wavy hair, as well as straight hair. If you would like a smoother look, flat-iron the hair first or blow-dry it using a large, round brush. If the hair is wavy, smooth it back but allow loose tendrils to hang out around your face. Use a curling iron to create curls in the tendrils.


Updo


An updo is another option for black women with hair that is at least shoulder-length. The hair is swept back and held with decorative clips and bobby pins. Use a shine serum to control any baby hairs or frizz. The updo looks lovely with angled, side-swept bangs. Use pomade to hold them in place. To add interest, add a decorative headband to the hair.
