When it comes to hair styles for prom, there are so many different options, you can change your color, add highlights, add bangs, add layering and even add length or thickness with hair extensions.

Preparing for prom night should begin months ahead of time. Maybe you hair is long or medium or short, curly or straight, fine or thick but you’ll still probably want to do something different with it for your prom night. A prom makeover includes a haircut and style, along with makeup application. The total process can take around 4 hours to complete so plan ahead (book an appointment with your stylist no less than four hours before the limo arrives). For proms and formal occasions you don't always have to go to a salon, but we suggest doing so if you want an updo's or even a simple style. Remember they are professionals and for the most part, know what their doing. If you need a hair stylist, begin asking for recommendations in advance. If you have one already, make a special appointment three months ahead to discuss your prom hairstyle. Don’t forget to take pictures of the styles you want so that they can follow it as close as possible you can immediately compare the results. It is recommended to bringing at least three photos of the prom hair style you want so your stylist does not get confused.

Once you decided on a hairstyle for prom and color, discuss with your stylist what it will take to get your hair to the hair style in the photo chosen. Most of the time the exact cut and color are achieved in one day. But girls that are growing their hair out may take several months and appointments to reach their desired hair style. Human hair extensions are also an option if you don’t want to wait for your hair to grow out.

If you are going to do your hair style yourself or with the help of friends, straightening your hair before doing any styling will make the styling easier, especially if you wish to have clean fresh curls. Perms retexturize hair temporarily, adding volume, movement, body and wave to your hair. Nowadays perms are designed to last only 6 weeks. This way you can try out other styles. If you need to add texture to your hairstyle, traditionally, layering adds texture to any look. Shorter strands on longer ones create an uneven surface, giving volume to styled hair. A shortcut to great texture is adding slightly chopped ends or loose bangs to the cut. Unfliped ends take on a subtle texture. Emphasize razor cut texture with texture creams or tone down by flatiron. For a shine, blow-dry hair with a small amount of pomade. Now apply a texture cream, into individual sections. If your hair is dry, run conditioner through your hair to eliminate frizz. This really works and won't make your hair crispy like hair spray. Remember to bring a picture of the prom hairstyle you want, and know exactly what you are expecting. Talk to the stylist to make sure there are no misunderstandings.

Very important: Wear a button down shirt so you don't ruin all that hard work when you go to get dressed.

Prom and formal Hairstyles Tips

Make a to-do list for the prom. Make another just for your hair. Select a dress, jewelry, and hairstyle in that order, coordinating everything.
Try a complete dress rehearsal with hair, dress, and jewelry a month before your prom. Finally, on the day before the prom collect all your essentials in one place.
The up dos has long been the mainstay for proms and other special occasions, and it will never go out of style. You may opt for a classic chignon, with hair pulled into a bun at the nape of your neck, or the Juliet knot, with all of your hair arranged on top of your head. Whichever variation you select, make sure it highlights your best features—gorgeous eyes, full lips or well-defined cheekbones. If you opt for an updo don't let it be uptight; avoid "librarian" styles with hair pulled tight back. A bit of looseness around your face is usually more flattering.
You can part your hair on top of your head to add glamour to an ordinary hairstyle.
For a timeless look, simply pull hair back tightly and add some hair gloss. Add the right makeup, a great pair of chandelier earrings and a delicate necklace, and you’re styling.
If you want to experiment with color, several products can give you a temporary boost—but be sure to test them a few weeks before your prom to avoid any last-minute surprises. Use a color, which is one tone lighter than your natural color. Cut small strands at the surface, twist and apply color. Coil them on top of your head. You will get easy and quick highlights. Color a strand underneath first to check the look.
To look your best for the big night, don't risk getting an outrageously funky hairstyle that simply doesn't work. Above all, select a dress, accessories and hairstyle that make you feel comfortable and compliment your prom hairstyle. If you feel insecure about any element, it’s time to revisit your plans. Follow your instincts: If in doubt, there is no doubt just toss it out. Be sure that your chosen hairstyle works for you.
Hosting a pre-prom party where your friends gather to help each other with hair, makeup and nails could be a tremendous help in finding out what looks good on you and what doesn't. If you’re on a tight budget, you can adopt a do-it-yourself approach once you have a basic concept of what you want.
