Fancy Prom Hairstyles
From LoveToKnow Hair
Fancy prom hairstyles can make the difference between a regular look and a truly glamorous ensemble. But what is fancy, and how can you make sure it’s right for you?
About Prom Hair Styles
Prom is a special night for any teenager, and it is a wonderful opportunity for sophistication, elegance, and flair. Because of this significance, many prom hair styles are much fancier than everyday hairdos. At the same time, it is important to understand that fancy doesn’t necessarily mean pageant hair or other over-the-top looks.
Defining Fancy
A fancy hairstyle is different from one young woman to the next, but all fancy styles have one thing in common: they’re different. Not necessarily different in an alternative hairstyle way, but different in that they’re not what that young woman typically wears. A fancy style stands out and accentuates her elegance, beauty, poise, and confidence.
Types of Fancy Prom Hairstyles
Depending on your typical everyday hairstyles, your fancy prom look can be many things. Popular options include:
- Updos: Prom hair updos are the most popular look because they are classy, sleek, and romantic. Because updo styles take more time to arrange, they are not usually worn daily, and a sleek French twist or curly updo can be perfect for your prom look.
- Extensions: Adding hair extensions will give you instant length and fullness for a fantastic prom style. Long hair can be styled in more ways than short hair, letting you experiment with different long hair prom styles that you wouldn’t be able to wear without the extensions.
- Sedu Styles: Sedu prom hair is sleek and simple, and while it may not seem fancy by itself, it is a dramatic makeover for young women with curly hair. By opting for the sleek simplicity of sedu, you turn your everyday unruly locks into a fancy, glamorous look.
- Curly Styles: At the same time, girls who normally have straight hair can opt for romantic waves or curls on prom night. Face framing ringlets, spiral perms, or long, loose waves can be classy options with a soft, innocent appeal.
- Vintage Styles: If your prom has a vintage theme a retro hair style can be the perfect choice. A flapper bob, seventies braids, or fifties beehive hairdo can make you the belle of the vintage ball.
- Color: If you want a fancy look that isn’t too different from the styles you normally wear, consider adding some unique hair color to your style. Hair highlights or hair lowlights shades add dimension and richness to your style without a drastic change, or opt for a more startling look and choose a completely different hair color. Whatever shade you choose, however, be sure it is the right hair color for you so it will look beautifully natural.
- Accessories: Most fancy prom hairstyles use hair accessories for extra sparkle and flair. Crystal hair pins, a glittering tiara, or a sparkling comb are simple accessories that complement any style, and the special flair they add is elegant and enchanting.
Can Fancy Be Too Much?
Before opting for a completely different look for your prom style, it is important to gauge whether or not a fancy style is too much for your look. If your prom is a more casual, fun event, an formal prom hair styles may seem out of place. Similarly, if you plan on wearing a simple dress and minimal accessories, overdone hair will seem strange, not fancy. Take care to balance your look carefully with the formality of the event, the design of your dress, and your other accessories, including jewelry and makeup.
Choosing Your Fancy Look
When choosing your fantastically fancy hair for prom, there are several things to keep in mind.
- Comfort: If you have never worn a fancy hair style before, take the time to preview the look and practice wearing it before the big night so you are comfortable and confident.
- Expense: The most elaborate hair styles are best done in a hair salon, and the fancier the style is the more it will cost. Be sure your budget can afford this prom expense before you have your heart set on something fancy.
- Hair Health: Fancy styles will only look their best in healthy hair. Eat a diet for healthy hair, drink plenty of water, and condition your hair regularly for several weeks before prom. A week or two before the big night, make sure your style will be neat by trimming away split ends and other damage.
- Appropriateness: While prom is a time to express your individual style in what you wear, be sure to follow your school’s dress code for hair colors. Dying your hair the right shade of pink to match your dress may seem daring and distinctive, but it may also keep you from enjoying the prom if funky hair colors are not permitted.
- Memories: Your prom will be an occasion you remember for the rest of your life: choose a hair style you will be proud to look back on in the yearbook at your twenty-fifth class reunion.
Nothing is better than fancy prom hairstyles to complete an elegant prom look. While fancy doesn’t need to mean outrageous, adding fancy elements to your style will make sure the evening is a memorable one.
