The Best Hairstyles for Prom Season

Prom is one of the most exciting nights of high school—a chance to dress up, dance the night away, and create memories with friends. But let’s be real: the hair is just as important as the dress! Whether you're aiming for glam, romantic, bold, or effortless, your hairstyle can take your entire prom look to the next level.

1. Classic Hollywood Waves

Best for: Long or medium-length hair

Timeless and elegant, soft waves add major glam without being over the top. Pair this look with a side part and bold earrings for that old-Hollywood red carpet energy.

Pro Tip: Use a shine serum or gloss spray to get that camera-ready finish.

2. Romantic Low Bun

Best for: All hair lengths with enough to pin

This is a go-to for prom because it’s both beautiful and practical. Loosely pinned curls or braids at the base of your neck look dreamy and stay secure all night.

Pro Tip: Add a delicate hair accessory like pearl pins or floral clips for a soft, fairy-tale vibe.

3. Half-Up, Half-Down with Curls

Best for: Those who want the best of both worlds

Want to show off your length but still feel done-up? A half-up, half-down style with waves or curls is the perfect balance. Add a twist, braid, or small top knot for a little extra flair.

Pro Tip: This style works great with extensions if you want to add volume or length.

4. Sleek High Ponytail

Best for: Modern, bold, or minimalist looks

A high pony is sleek, striking, and full of attitude. It pairs well with backless dresses or anything with strong necklines. Think Ariana Grande with edge.

Pro Tip: Wrap a section of hair around the hair tie for a polished finish.

Bonus: Book Early!
