Simple Side Bun with Wisps

A simple bun with pieces of hair flowing at the sides is the perfect way to frame your face!

Doing this draws people into the details you want to shine!

Half-Bun

A half-up, half-down hairstyle is a class, but make it a bun! Whether you want it to be a messy bun or a tight ballerina bun, this hairstyle adds dimension to your look. Pull your hair out of your face for a comfortable yet romantic vibe.

 

Messy Braid

Braids are a common theme we see in prom hairstyles! It's because they are so simple but can involve so many details. Just create a braid, and pull at the hairs to loosen it up. You can do this with any braid type, but be sure to pull pieces out in the front to frame your face and create that messy look. You can even incorporate a messy braid into an updo.

 

Pinned-Back Side

Add a little bit of glam to your look by incorporating a pin with some sparkle. Use a pin to create a sleek look while pulling your hair out of your face.

 

Half-Up Half-Down

Half-Up Half-Down is the perfect way to pull your hair up and out of your face, while still showing off your lovely locks. Pulling your hair out of your face allows you to accentuate your beautiful face, and killer makeup look!

 

Fishtail Braid

Fishtail braids speak for themselves. They are intricate and pretty, with a slight edge to them. Incorporate decorative clips or pins for a more feminine look, or wear it messy.

 

Low Bun with a Side Braid

A low bun is one of the most effortless looks to do yourself, but this time incorporate a braid into it! A braid makes a simple look more exciting and perfect for prom night!
