Five Prom Hairstyle Ideas 2015

 After plenty of pondering, second guessing and repeatedly asking your friends for their opinions- you have finally chosen what you consider to be your dream dress. But when it comes to your prom look it definitely doesn't stop there, and your next step is probably going to be deciding on your hairstyle. Are you going to do it yourself with the help of a Youtube tutorial, or leave it in the hands of a stylist? Are you going to go simple or add an embellishment, headband or fascinator? Are you going to give the style a 'test run' to make sure it's comfortable, photographs well and lasts the entire night? You've carefully chosen your beautiful prom dress, and so it only makes sense to give your hair and the rest of your look the same kind of thought. Here are some of the styles you might want to try

1. This 1970s inspired hairstyle pulls most of your hair off your face, and the bouffant half ‘do adds height. The soft tendrils around the face are flattering on any face shape, but will make a round face appear slimmer. This is a relatively no-worry style, as long as it's secured enough hairspray you’re good to go. This makes a particularly good prom hairstyle because your ears are exposed, meaning you can choose special or coordinating earrings. 

2. This is another variation of the half ‘do, but with more curls and a swooping low side part, as opposed to high bouffant. This is a soft and elegant style that brings in a bit of hollywood glam; the perfect choice if you have a pretty hair accessory that you plan on incorporating into your style.

3. Who says a ponytail has to be casual? This gorgeous long curled pony is pretty and sophisticated. You could leave it simple or add interest with a braid along the front, or pulled round to the side for a 'Taylor Swift' kind of look. A great option if you plan on doing you hair yourself as it's easy to do but still looks really put together.

4. This is a good choice for longer hair, or if you want to show off the back of your dress. This style is a variation on the infamous Princess Leia hairstyle. Part hair down the middle, and braid each side, starting at the base of your hairline, and then wind the braid into a swirl on each side. Be sure to use grips that are the same colour as your hair (you'll need lots of them!) so that they can't be seen.

5. Finally, a style to satisfy fans of “Toddlers & Tiaras,” the ultimate in pageant looks for the girl who really wants to be tiara-worthy. Think big, bouncy and/or intricate, this one is probably best left to a professional hairstylist but will definitely make a statement on prom day.
