The senior prom is the pinnacle of senior activities; however, getting ready for prom can be stressful, especially for girls. Even if you have the perfect dress, shoes, and jewelry, there is one important accessory that cannot be compromised: your hair. Here is a guide to some of 2015’s best prom hair styles.
The Up-do
If you are looking for to achieve a classic yet elegant look, the up-do is definitely for you. Up-do hair designs entail pulling all the hair up into a bun formation. From there, the classic due is often modernized with new trends.
Braids have become a staple in the up-do realm. Often, a stylist will French braid the hair framing the face and gather it in the back or on the side of the head. There are many other options, such as leaving curled tendrils of hair out of the actual up-do.
Down and Curled
While this style may seem simple, luscious curls can compliment nearly any look. Curls look gorgeous with long locks of hair, as they showcase the length of the hair.
Not only can the curls be tight or loose, but they can also be up or down. Moreover, the curls can be left down to look naturally beautiful, or they can be styled into a half-up/half-down style. This style allows you to have the volume of curls without having to get annoyed with hair getting in your eyes while dancing the night away.
Ultimately, curls look nice with nearly every hair length, especially if the hair has highlights and lowlights to display the dimensions of the hair.
Straightened
Straightened hair gives a sleek shine to hair that will catch everyone’s attention. This hairstyle helps create a modern and edgy look for your special night.
Don’ts
While searching for the perfect hair style, do not think that these styles are your only options. Instead, keep an open mind. Do not be afraid to experiment with new looks because you may come to love them.

Thus, always listen to the advice hairdressers, family, and/or friends are giving you, but make your hairstyle selection based on what you feel comfortable wearing— after all, it is your special night so you do not have to compromise.
A word to the wise
Pin a few hair styles you like on Pinterest or save some pictures on your phone to show the stylist what you are looking for so can get the creative juices flowing. Some times the books and catalogs in the salon are out dated. When you decide on a hair do, be sure to ask how long it will take the hairdresser to do. You wouldn’t want to miss pictures or the beginning of the prom because you are still getting your hair braided.
