Classic Prom Updos, Perfect for Prom

A simple-yet-sophisticated prom hairstyle. This hairstyle looks simpler than it actually is, so you may want to take this picture to your hairstylist to get the look right, but if you want to do it yourself, here's how:

TOOLS: You need a blowdryer, a ponytail holder, regular hairpins, about 5 or 6 jeweled hairpins, holding spray & hairspray.

QUICK TIPS: Works best on thick, straight, very long hair. Straighten curly hair, first. OK on coarse hair, but definitely straighten with iron & shine serum.

Blowdry: Blowdry hair straight. Works best with straight dry hair.

Make Ponytail: Pull hair back in ponytail. The secret to keeping this style in place is to create a loose ponytail.

Separate Hair: Divide hair in 4 pieces before you do the next step.

Create the Look: Taking the 4 chunky pieces of hair, wind them around each other loosely like shown in the picture. Practice this a few times to get it right.

Pin in Place: Pin ends of loosely wound hair in place with regular hairpins. Use a sufficient amount of pins to hold for this style throughout the night.

Add Jewels: Add jeweled pins to make this style sparkle.

Bangs: If you have bangs, you'll want to leave them out of the style. Part them on the side & smooth along face. Pin them or spray them in place.

Finally: Spray, spray, spray

Celebrity Prom Hairstyle How To’s

These classic prom hairstyles include those featured on the celebrity red carpet.

Taylor Swift Inspired HairCurls Tutorial

How to get this look:

• Finger comb hair back from forehead (messy is good, so skip the comb). You want hair to go straight back because you don't want a part.
• Pull hair into a ponytail just above the nape of your neck. Wind hair into a bun and secure with an elastic band. Pin back strays with bobby pins (have someone help you). If you want a really messy look, leave the stray hairs out.
• Hairspray will keep the 'do in place. You can tug some strands of hair up so it's looser than the rest of hair

To get this look shown on Vanessa Hudgens, simply lift up top and tease hair at the roots. Insert a "Bumpit" if you want to avoid the damage backcombing can do. Bumpits are an amazing insert that will give hair volume and lift all night and can be found at most commercial drugstores such as Walgreens and CVS, or purchase online at: AMAZON.COM.

How to use a “Bumpit”:

• Use this insert at the top of the head to create lift where you'd usually tease hair. Brush hair forward.
• Tuck the insert underneath the hair.
• Place strands of hair over the Bumpit.
• Secure hair in a ponytail or a bun to keep the Bumpit in place throughout your affair.

Here’s How You Can Get This Look:

1. Shampoo and condition hair with product designed for your specific type, texture and current condition of hair.  Towel blot hair to remove excess water.
2. Apply detangling or leave-in detangler and working from the ends to the roots, carefully detangle strands. Create desired parting (front, side, high or low).
3. When hair is completely detangled, apply a styling cream or mousse.  If your hair is naturally curly or wavy, you may wish to apply a straightening serum.
   Note:  Apply a styling glaze and/or gel in addition to a leave-in product for extra hold.

4. Use a blow dryer set on medium heat and a large flat paddle brush to eparate hair into 2-4 inch sections with one hand as you direct the heat "down the shaft" from the "roots to the ends" with the blow dryer in the other hand.
5. Work from side to side, completely around your head, working with individual sections until the entire head has been completely dried and straightened.
6. Apply dab of styling cream or pomade before creating a right side part that extends from the hairline to approximately 2 inches back towards the crown.
7. After creating the right part, create a horizontal part that extends across the back of the head behind each ear.
8. Separate the newly parted hair into front and back sections. 
   Use your fingers to gather hair into a loose ponytail with the base situated right at the nape of your neck (where your neck meets your back).
   Note: Do not anchor the ponytail with an elastic band.  Just  encircle & hold the base of the newly formed pony with your thumb and index finger of your right hand.
9. Hold the base of the ponytail in your right hand using your right thumb and forefinger as an anchor. With your left hand grab the "tail" of the pony.
10. Still using your left hand, twist the pony "tail" hair up and over your right hand in a clockwise direction.  You will be in essence looping the pony tail around the base formed with your right fingers.

11. Loop the ponytail up and over the base once or twice to form a "soft" cinnamon bun shaped twist.
12. Keep twisting the pony hair until it forms the desired shape.
13. Use your fingers to "shape" and "mold" the finished twist. Secure with same color as you hair bobby pins to anchor to the scalp.
14. Sweep the remaining front hair into a long eye brushing side fringe. Use a flat iron to get a sleek finish and slightly curl the very ends up for a flirty flick.
15. Place bobby pins discreetly around the side swept front hair to help anchor the sweep of hair into the back of the style.
16. Spray, Spray, Spray.
17. Finish with a light application of shine spray or drops carefully palmed over the top of the waves.
18. Attach desired hair accessories such as a single flower, jeweled accent clips or pretty barrettes. You may also take it up a notch and embed some sparkly hair gems.
