Instructions for Easy Do it Yourself Prom Hairstyles

Many prom styles can be achieved at home using curling or straightening irons.

There are lots of prom hairstyles that can be achieved at home, without the expense of visiting a salon. Upswing styles work better on hair that has not been washed, therefore, avoid washing on the day of the dance. Remember to choose your style in advance so you have time to practice and perfect your look.

Curly side ponytail

A curly side ponytail has been favored by stars such as Miley Cyrus. To try the look yourself sweep your hair over one shoulder and secure with a hair-colored hair wrap. Using curling irons take one inch sections of the ponytail and curl. Repeat until the entire ponytail is curled and finish with hairspray.

Messy bun

A messy bun can be worn to the side, high on top of your head or at the nape of your neck. Simply tie your hair into a ponytail and secure it with a hair wrap. Twist the length of the ponytail and pin it into a bun. Using your fingers, tease the bun, pulling out strands of hair to create a messy look.

Half up

A half up style is a versatile way to wear your hair and works on most hair types from long, medium, curly and straight. Take a front section, an inch to two inches thick from either side of your face, and pin back using bobby pins.
