Gently curl or straighten as long as the hair is neatly done to fit the headband.

I recommend two styles of headbands, one is a thick velvet fabric and the other is a thin metallic.

This hairstyle is another version of half-up half-down with the tied-up hair decorated with a big bow to make the overall look more lovely and refined.

Ladies, you can attach a bow of your choice of color or style your hair into a pretty bow for a more unique look.

Thanks to volumizing techniques and hair styling gel, even girls with thin hair can become gorgeous with this style.

Adding more embellishments to it will perfectly complete everything.

#5. French Twist

You can do this French twist in two shakes of a lamb’s tail.

The hair should have a length from the shoulder blades to the middle of the back so it will be easier to style.

Pull your hair into a ponytail then twist it up and use bobby pins to secure it.

Adding some final touches to make it look more natural and voila, you are ready to cut a dash.

#6. Intended Messy Bun

Messy buns are always a strangely attractive hairstyle.

Because casually loose curls and a comfortable bun will make your appearance more approachable and gentle.

A few small flowers pinned in your hair or a brooch will be the type of jewelry you can use to accentuate your prom hairstyles.

In addition to the classic hairstyles, there are also many stylish prom hairstyles that you should step out of your comfort zone to try because it will be worth it.

For example, this rosette hairstyle is also a variation of a half-updo.

Loosely braid a section of hair, then roll it up and secure it with a bobby pin.

One pass of this will correspond to a completed rosette and you can do it multiple times to create a rose garden in your hair.

#8. Ultimate Pigtail Hair

The pigtail prom hairstyle blends a bit of youthfulness and playfulness into your overall outfit for the party that day.

You can divide your hair into 2 bunches or just take two small strands of hair on both sides of the top of your head.

Hair accessories such as scrunchies or cute hairpins are recommended.
