Updo Prom

Hair Styles|Hairstyles

The updo has been popping up at the Prom over the last several years. It is beginning to make a comeback. There are so many different updo hair styles. There is the messy updo, where the hair is loosely pinned up and looks like it is

about to fall down, the simple updo, where the hair is simply twisted and pinned in place, and then there is the fancy updo, where the hair is intricately placed, braided, twisted and more.

Depending on the type of updo you are looking for, you may want to schedule an appointment with your hair stylist to get a trial run. The fancy updos can take some time to create and you want to make sure you get it right. The last thing you need to be worrying about at the Prom is whether you hair is going to stay up or not.

See example, left, of a rather simple updo. The hair is parted on the side and all the hair is gathered in a high ponytail and then twisted into a chignon and pinned into place. This style looks very fashionable and it can be accentuated with fancy earrings and perhaps a small decorative hair pin. See the Hair Products page for some great hair pins, barrettes that you can use for Prom.

The stylish updo, see right, features a little bit of back-combing in the crown area to create some height. The hair is pulled back loosely and twisted into a loose chignon.

Some layers are left loose and will probably need to be sprayed or pinned somehow to keep them from annoying you by flying in your face.

The model is wearing a flattering shade of eye shadow, eyeliner and has made the style even more glamorous by adding long, sparkly earrings.
