Prom Hairstyles for Long Hair Go Casual, But Shine!

“Prom Hair Styles
for Long Hair”

The prom hairstyles for long hair of not so long ago was a completely different story than today. Lucky you! I have memories of way too much time spent at the beauty salon getting shampooed followed by a roller set that was so tight, it left you with a headache and a face lift at the same time. You then sat under the hair dryer till your ears and face turned red. Next came a violent comb-out, in a sort of a rip and tear kind of way.

After that came the main prom hair styling technique of the day, RATTING! These hair stylists knew how to RAT, that is, backcombing or teasing, taken to a violent extreme which made your hair like a rat’s nest and stay put for months. Some-how after lots of combing over, spraying, twisting and pinning, voila . . . the masterpiece . . . love-locks.

We all had prom hairstyles, we all looked the same and basically we all hated prom hair styles. Tears, were shed by many as they left the salon that hopeful day, feeling older than dirt. And, that’s just what you asked the hair stylist NOT to do! “Please DON”T make me look old.
