Super Cute Prom Hair Ideas

The prom is a milestone in a teenage girl's life. It is often the first time that she attends a formal event with her peers and hence, nerves run high. The right dress and accessories are only one part of the outfit. The hair must be perfect for this special night. Hence, keep the hairstyle in line with your personality. Try not to overdo the style and avoid bulky or uncomfortable styles which will impede your enjoyment during dancing and socializing.

Cute, Short Hollywood Hair

Create a chic, smooth, Hollywood look for your short hair. Short hair can be glamorous. Always begin styling by applying a styling gel from root to tip while the hair is damp. This will assist in holding the style in place during the event. For ultra short hair, tussle the hair with your fingers to create a messy look and allow it to dry without combing. Add a hair band to match your dress. The hair band will then become the focus of your hair. Choose one with matching flowers or other ornamental add-ons. If your hair is ear-length, set your hair with a large roller, turning the hair under. Use a deep part on the left or the right. When the rollers are removed, brush your hair under and towards your face on the shorter side, and back and away on the wider side. Smooth the hair with plenty of non-sticky hairspray. This style is accented with a decorative barrette or a flower placed just above the ear on the short side.

Simple Medium Style

Medium hair offers a multitude of styles for the prom. Start with plenty of styling gel on the hair to smooth any fly-aways or split ends. Roll the hair with medium-size rollers from the bottom to the top and allow to dry. When removed, brush the curls into loose rings. At this point, you can sweep the hair to the side and pin or leave loose. For an up-do, gently pull all the curled hair toward the crown of the head and collect with a ponytail holder, allowing the hair to be loose on the scalp. Fold the gathered hair in half and clasp with a ponytail holder creating a loop with curls hanging below. Cover the holder with a decorative hair accessory such as a flower or colored band. The decorations add an extra touch to make the style look cute.

Long Loose Hair Worn Stylishly

Long spiral curls for the prom

Long hair typically ends up in an up-do for proms. Step outside this box and wear your long tresses styled and loose. Apply ample amounts of styling gel to damp hair from root to tip. Use medium side rollers. Begin at the top of the hair and wrap the hair around the roller until the ends are reached. Tuck the ends under the roller and allow it to dry. Unroll the rollers and release the long spiral curls. Do not brush your hair. Use a non-sticky hair spray. This will give you a style that is playful and bouncy.
