Prom is just around the corner girls and it’s time to talk about your prom hair.  Get prepared now for one of the most glamorous nights in your high school career by dress shopping, shoe shopping and, of course, looking for a stunning prom hair style to complete your look. This year retro waves are all the rage, as are braided buns when it comes to prom hair. You can also try accessorizing a simple style to dress it up a bit.

Here’s how to get these three hot hairstyles:

Retro Waves for Prom Hair

Get retro waves by using a setting spray and hot rollers. Spritz a setting spray throughout strands, part your hair deep to one side and then use hot rollers to roll your hair forward toward your face. Roll all your hair and allow your locks to cool completely before unrolling. Once you’ve unrolled your hair from the rollers, take a soft bristled brush and gently brush them into soft, retro waves. Spray a light hold hairspray all over so that your prom hair style stays in place all night long. Glam this hair style up a bit by adding a flower or hair accessory right above your ear on one side of this hairstyle.

Braided Buns for Prom Hair

A braided bun style for your prom hair is both glamorous and timeless. Reminiscent of Cleopatra days, the braided bun is actually fairly simple to do. Pull all your hair back into a sleek ponytail, securing it toward the middle of the back of your head. Then, leaving a small section out (for braiding), wrap the hair from the ponytail around the elastic, making a bun and securing the bun with two criss-crossed bobby pins (or more if needed). Braid the small section of hair that was left out and wrap that around the bun and secure with a few bobby pins as well. Be careful to conceal the bobby pins, making your style look seamless. Spray the whole style with a hard hold hairspray and you’ve got beautiful prom hair.

Hair Accessories for Prom Hair

A fast and easy way to glam up any prom hair is with hair accessories. Try adding in something sparkly for a stunning style fix. Or depending on your look, you can add in a flower to your hair (this would be perfect if you have an exotic looking prom dress) or even a beautiful headband would work. Feather headbands are all the rage lately and have been seen on everyone from Nicole Richie to Mischia Barton. Try one on if you are going for a bohemian look this year.

Feather Headbands and other accessories are the perfect addition to your prom hair this year.

To get perfect prom hair this year, I suggest trying one of these three hairstyles. If you are doing it yourself, allow time for a practice trial run or two, it will make for much less stress on the big day. Match the style to your dress to make your whole ensemble look picture perfect. And, if you’re not sure how to do that and could use some input, ask your hairstylist . . . they should be able to give you lots of good tips!
