My hairdresser has a sign in his workspace that says “You can’t control everything in your life. Your hair was put on top of your head to remind you of that.”  Ok. I’ll accept that for 364 days of the year. But not on prom night! If you don’t have a prom hairstyle already chosen out- move that to the top of your list.
 

Your prom hairstyle or updo will complement your prom dress, and set the tone for the image you present on prom night. Hair thoughtlessly pulled up at the last minute is going to make you feel less confident. Prom night is your introduction to the adult world of style and glamour. Your prom dresses, shoes, makeup, and prom hairstyle should add to your sense of confidence and styles.
 

What if your hair is a constant source of frustration? Don’t worry. I promise you this. These are simple prom updos and prom hairstyles that you can master with just a little bit of practice.  If you need some advice find a great stylist to teach you. But part of becoming a woman is taking control over your own life. So here are some of the prom hairstyles that can really create an image of elegance and sophistication and match your prom dresses design..
 

Prom Hairstyles: The Classic Updo
 

If you plan to wear a backless or strapless gown, the classic prom updo is timeless. Wearing your hair draws attention to your sleek, uncovered back and elegant shoulders. If your prom dresses are heavily detailed or beaded, the prom updo is also an option. Too much hair can cover or take away from the beauty of the dress. The prom updo is perfect for those with delicate facial features. There is nothing worse than a mountain of hair covering a gorgeous face!
There are lots of prom hairstyle and hairdo suggestions for attaining an elegant updo for any hair length.
 

One of the simplest styles for straight or wavy hair involves a curling iron, elastics, and a few bobby pins.
1.        Use the curling iron to create a mass of loose waves.
2.        Pull your hair into a high ponytail, and secure the style with elastics.
3.        Section off the hair into separate strands and use the bobby pins to safely secure the sections around the base of the ponytail. This style is perfect for those who want a prom hairstyle that is natural, yet sexy and ultra-feminine.
 

Curly girls should take advantage of nature by letting select ringlets drop elegantly from the side.
1.        Pull hair gently back at the sides. Take care not to pull too tight and eliminate the curls.
2.        Twist hair back and secure with bobby pins.
3.        Gently release a couple of curls and spray into place.
 

Even those with extra short hair can attain the beauty of an updo. A classic twist can easily be achieved by sculpting the hair into a gentle curl at the back of the head.
 

Prom hair accessories can also add to the ultimate glamour of the look. Dressy barrettes, hair crystals, floral pins, or even tiaras can turn a simple hairdo into something spectacular.
 

Soft Waves Define the Modern Prom Hairstyle
 

Current prom hairstyle trends focus on shiny, natural hair with a hint of Hollywood style. Soft waves are a big hit for spring, and classic glamour prevails over generic appeal. If you who plan to wear a dress with a bit of retro style will want to complete the look with a matching hairstyle. One of my favorite prom hairstyle and updo idea is a soft curly style, adorned with a flower or rhinestone clips. Long, flowing hair is always in style, and can also be decorated with dazzling accessories. Whatever your hair type, make sure that you are comfortable with the final result and will match your prom dress.
