Aside from the dress, your hair plays the second most important role in determining your prom look. This years prom hairstyle trends are an artful blend of modern and classic hair styles. Of course the timeless sleek polished updo is always a chic go-to to prom hairstyle option, but we also love styles like loose undone waves, messy updo’s and artistic side buns. The most important things to keep I mind when choosing a prom hair style is to make sure the style flatters both your face shape and your dresses style. Below you’ll find our top three favorite hairstyles for prom 2013.
Voluminous Side Swept Retro Curls
This hairstyle looks great with retro inspired dresses and modern dresses as well. Best of all this hairstyle is DIY, all you need to perfect this look are a few bobby pins, a large barrel curling iron and some hairspray. We suggest looking for an online tutorial and practicing styling your hair the weekend before prom, just to make sure you have the style perfected from prom night.
Braid Accented Hair Styles
Braided hairstyles were a huge trend this year and there are tons of very chic braided hairstyle options to choose from. You could go for a braided updo which gives off a regal and polished vibe. Depending on your dress, you could opt for a boho inspired half-up half-down braided do, this style is perfect is you want to look like an ethereal goddess.
Intricate Side Buns
Side buns are a fun little twist on a classic formal hairstyle, and we love ones with little braids or twists in them. While we suggest going to a salon to perfect this style, you could opt to DIY but we suggest practicing at least three time before prom day, at times this hairstyle can be a little tricky to master at home so the extra practice should come in handy.
